authentic. timeless. classic. those are the qualities that defined mr. california back in the 60’s, ...
american fashion designer tommy hilfiger created a brand of clothing that was extremely popular with several different communities in the 1990s .
mr. john brewster migrated across the country from illinois to california in 1852. he first resided in placerville and then moved to galt in 1869 when it was found. mr. brewster was galt’s first postmaster .
by 1983 the corporate ownership of mr. california was scrambling to distance itself from its own offspring. it was apparent that their original market had “cooled considerably” and a new division offered a product called the bentley. new management spoke of the “connotation” of the mr. california label and was critical of its “polyester customer”. the label had become an albatross, but its shirts were still available until the late eighties, at jc penney’s, in glendale, california .

the family later moved to el paso and opened a clothing factory in 1920, which served up such workaday fare as blue shirts, denim pants and bib overalls .
levi strauss started an enduring fashion empire, which he launched by making one of the world' s most durable and popular clothing items - - the blue jeans .
roy halston frowick, best known as halston, was an iconic clothing designer of the 1970s. his sexy, yet elegant dresses became a staple in american discos .
the classic shirts introduced in the sixties by the mr. california label are now as unmistakabe as the leisure activities and methods for which they were designed. an historically recent development, spare time, that which is free from employment, appears to have lost ground. americans now work more hours than anyone else, even the japanese. but during the heyday of mr. california, the philosophy surrounding idle time had blossomed into mid - century leisure culture .
according to his son james, mr. farah had suffered a long illness .
it took a few years, but by 2010 the agents had persuaded mr. cree, who was facing a lengthy prison term, to work as an informant. according to mr. tiscione, they had mr. cree engineer a money drop at a safe house only blocks from the brooklyn federal courthouse. calling mr. cournoyer one day, mr. cree offered to oversee the shipment of $ 200, 000 from new york to los angeles for a 6 percent commission. as part of the deal, he was given the phone number of a man in california who would take the cash on arrival .
liz claiborne was a fashion designer and icon who created a clothing empire. she' s also the first woman to found a company (liz claiborne inc .) that landed on the fortune 500 list .
an early american clothing success story, levi strauss was born in germany in 1829, and came to america in 1847 to work for his brothers & apos; dry goods business. in 1853, strauss went out west where he soon started his own dry goods and clothing company. his company began making heavy - duty work pants, now known as jeans, in 1870s, and it continues to operate to this day .
in 1882, mr. john brewster hired william w. hamilton to design and build the brewster building. mmonce built, the j. brewster & company sold dry goods, clothing, boots, shoes, hardware, groceries, crockery, lumber, insurance, farm implements, and managed a grain warehouse .

despite this, the company over all was hurting. 2, 000 workers, most of them mexican american, struck the company, seeking the right to join a union as well as greater job security and wage growth. subsequently, the amalgamated clothing workers union, supported by the a. f. l. - c. i. o. and the roman catholic bishop in el paso, organized a boycott of farah clothing, which hurt the company' s sales .
mr. farah repeatedly said that he would never entertain the notion of a union at farah inc. , and once said,'' we have' em whipped, and we' re going to keep' em whipped.'' nevertheless, the strike, which was billed as second largest of its kind, after the california grape strike, ended 22 months later, with mr. farah' s agreement to recognize the union .
the california gold rush of 1849 led many to travel out west to seek their fortune. strauss was no exception. in early 1853, he headed out to san francisco to sell goods to the thriving mining trade. strauss ran his own wholesale dry goods company as well as acted as his brothers & apos; west coast agent. using a series of different locations in the city over the years, he sold clothing, fabric, and other items to small shops in the region .
while he remained active in the company, strauss began to give more responsibilities to his nephews who worked for him. he continued to be generous to those in need, providing the funds for 28 scholarships at the university of california in 1897 .
one day in mid - november 2010, mr. curatola’s usual money launderer was unavailable, and he found himself in need of someone to help him move a cash shipment to canada. according to mr. tiscione, mr. cournoyer volunteered his own man for the job, a honduras - born trafficker named josé castillo - medina .
mr. castillo - medina, three years earlier, was involved in the cartel money - laundering operation with mr. racine. now he was at it again, according to court papers, dispatching a woman named elizabeth jennings to meet with mr. curatola in the parking lot of a staples store in brooklyn. even the government acknowledges that this was a onetime favor; mr. castillo - medina simply picked the wrong day to be helpful .
many garments have been devised expressly for leisure use. important examples being bill parry’s ever - popular pasadena jumpsuits and of course, the ubiquitous leisure suit. but, it may be mr. california that best captures the true flavor of leisure. it is no accident these shirts are named for a state that pioneered in casual habits with its zeal for outdoor living .
among those subordinates was mario racine, a fellow canadian, whom mr. cournoyer sent to the united states in the early 2000s, court papers say, to manage the increasingly giant loads of marijuana flowing across the border. mr. cournoyer had met mr. racine through mr. racine’s sister, amelia, the lingerie model whom he dated for several years. mr. racine organized the outfit’s east coast distribution. the biggest distributors were generally given up to 200 pounds of marijuana at a time, with brand names like sour diesel, which they then resold in pound quantities to smaller retail salesmen .
when undercover agents in los angeles called that number, they reached a man named alessandro taloni. mr. taloni, court papers say, was an italian - born associate of the rizzutos who also served as mr. cournoyer’s manager for west coast operations. he ran a lucrative money - laundering business out west, using dirty cash to buy cocaine from the sinaloa drug cartel while maintaining his sideline as a vendor of high - end hair - care products. a former salesman at a montreal men’s shop, mr. taloni had been charged a decade earlier with threatening to kill the owner of a rival clothing store in an attempt to cow the competition .
now the agents watched mr. taloni pick up the money that a courier hired by mr. cree had flown to california on a private jet. after fetching the delivery, mr. taloni, with the surveillance team in tow, continued on in his mercedes - benz to the beverly hills hotel. there, court papers say, he met another man, who handed him a suitcase with a second cache of money. this was cause enough for the agents on his tail to stop him and later to search his apartment, where they found 49 kilograms of plastic - wrapped cocaine and nearly $ 1 million, all of it in cash .
james and mary bethel bought the building at an auction and then rented it back to mr. brewster as the economy got better .
“u just got to hope they never find out u said a word, seriously bro, ” mr. venizelos wrote. he added, chillingly, that mr. cournoyer kept on hand a $ 2 million slush fund to pay for the murder of anyone who crossed him .
farah, which is still publicly traded, is not the name in men' s apparel that it was in mr. farah' s day .
after five years of flipping witnesses, listening to wiretaps and conducting secret stings, mr. tiscione and his team had finally gotten a brooklyn grand jury to indict mr. cournoyer on drug conspiracy charges on jan. 20, 2012. a month later, the newly minted defendant tried to abscond to cancun .
mr. cournoyer’s brother joey, center, and friend georges st. pierre, a mixed - martial arts fighter, were at a party with leonardo dicaprio .
though the agents in new york could have had mr. racine arrested at that point, they chose to let him go, albeit under surveillance, to preserve the investigation. mr. tiscione’s task force knew that mr. cournoyer already had ties to the hells angels, the mohawk smugglers and the rizzuto crime family of montreal, which ran large swaths of that city’s drug trade. now the task force realized that the outfit also had a mexican component, and set about to infiltrate that corner of the business .
in the late 1800’s, galt suffered through four years of poor harvest and low agriculture price. these factors forced mr. brewster to file for bankruptcy in june of 1889 .
the descendant of a lebanese family that settled in texas at the beginning of the century, mr. farah lived through almost every aspect of the modern garment industry' s development .
it took a wiretap investigation to finally determine that “primo” was mr. castillo - medina and that “staten island” was a bonanno crime family associate named john venizelos. besides selling millions of dollars’ worth of marijuana, court papers say, mr. venizelos, who favored horn - rim glasses and ralph lauren pastels, managed a mafia - owned strip club, jaguars 3 .
in the year that followed his arrest, mr. cournoyer and his lawyer, gerald j. mcmahon, disputed his removal from mexico as “a forcible abduction” and tried to have the sprawling case against him dismissed. but as the evidence mounted, mr. cournoyer pleaded guilty in may 2013, just days before his trial was scheduled to begin in federal court in brooklyn .
at the height of his success, mr. cournoyer, who is now 34 and is awaiting placement in the federal prison system, drove a porsche cayenne and a $ 2 million limited - edition
mr. brewster died in 1905 and the building became known as the international order of odd fellows hall. local famers, the sawyer brothers started a general merchandise business out of the first floor .
they also seized an encrypted blackberry, mr. tiscione said, which was the device of choice for the cournoyer outfit. given that a number of the boss’s men were already in custody, the agents were especially concerned by a message that mr. venizelos had sent just days before his own arrest, to a partner who had been captured and was under pressure to cooperate with the task force .
that same year, mr. cournoyer crashed his porsche, killing a passenger, and was imprisoned on charges related to the death. although he served only a year, he was forced upon his release to live in a halfway house in montreal. in his absence, his enterprise had fallen into “tatters, ” mr. tiscione said. but mr. cournoyer managed to rebuild it, meeting secretly with associates during hurried rendezvous in the montreal subway and while on work release from the halfway house, where — industrious as ever — he had found a job driving an elderly woman to her medical appointments .
dominick curatola was a muralist turned house painter turned pot dealer, living on long island. he was a minor player, but he still had connections; his boss in canada was a close associate of mr. cournoyer .
even though marijuana is increasingly legalized and, unlike methamphetamine or heroin, rarely makes for sensational headlines, prosecutors argued in a sentencing memorandum that mr. cournoyer’s operation was a violent one and that it led to the enrichment of other criminal syndicates. his friends and family countered with letters to the brooklyn court praising mr. cournoyer’s good nature and blaming his criminal exploits on the trauma he suffered at age 16, when his father left his family .
the effects of the labor dispute were lasting. the company suffered several quarters of losses and laid off scores of workers, resulting in the resignation of several members of the board. mr. farah resigned as chief executive in 1977 .

unbeknown to the task force in new york, a separate team from the drug agency had around that time started a sting operation against money launderers working with mexican drug cartels. that fall, for instance, an undercover agent posing as a cartel financier had persuaded mr. racine, mr. cournoyer’s new york manager and one of his closest partners, to give him $ 94, 000 in marijuana profits, promising to reinvest — and cleanse — the money through the purchase of cocaine .
almost from the moment their case began, mr. tiscione and the task force had relied on old - fashioned, grind - it - out police work. now, however, the task force caught a lucky, and unexpected, break .
“there’s a lot of weed smokers here on the eastern seaboard, a lot of them, ” mr. mcmahon explained. “that’s why he came to new york, for the capitalist markets. it was basically a karl marx kind of thing. ”
it all came to an end three weeks ago, when mr. cournoyer (pronounced koorn - wah - yay) was sentenced in brooklyn to 27 years in federal prison, finally bringing to a close the investigation that emerged in 2007 from that domestic dispute .
once the task force had identified mr. venizelos, federal agents descended on his house on staten island and then on his parents’ house nearby. they seized more marijuana, more narcotics scales and more ledgers, as well as a shotgun and a loaded glock .
in 1998, mr. cournoyer pleaded guilty in that case and was sentenced to probation. but two years later, he was caught again, selling marijuana out of his jeep at the kanesatake mohawk reservation, a half - hour’s drive from laval. although he pleaded guilty in that case, too, he escaped a serious prison term. he was arrested, for a third time, only 12 months later. on that occasion, mr. cournoyer had checked into a hilton in toronto, planning to sell 10, 000 ecstasy pills to a customer for $ 65, 000. the customer turned out to be an undercover agent. as he tried to flee, mr. cournoyer was captured, despite, court papers say, brandishing a handgun loaded with armor - piercing bullets .
although mexican officials tried three times to put mr. cournoyer on a plane to the united states, he refused to go, threatening, court papers say, to “harm the captain and the crew. ” finally, he was hooded and escorted onto a flight to houston .
while black friday shopping may be synonymous with holiday crazes like tickle me elmo and mr. potato head, the real opportunities extend far beyond that. at the end of every year, there are certain product trends that pick up steam and turn into runaway hits on black friday .
mr. paisse (pronounced pah - ees) also helped him make contact with a network of native american smugglers at the st. regis mohawk reservation, who moved their own loads south across the st. lawrence river, on small boats during temperate months and on snowmobiles in winter .
mr. farah spent the last part of his life active in el paso community affairs, and helped build a cancer treatment center for the city. he is survived by his wife and four children: james, of new york; kenneth and haleen, of dallas, and robert, of el paso .

mr. farah, who was known as willie, was born in las cruces, n. m. , in 1919. his father, mansour, was a hay and dry goods merchant who had come west via canada, and his mother was the second of 16 children of a greek orthodox priest and his wife .
the lesson he learned from prison that time was perhaps not what the authorities intended. as mr. tiscione would later write in a legal memorandum, “determined to never again be found in the compromising position of physically touching narcotics, cournoyer began expanding his roster of associates and installing additional layers of subordinates between himself” and the drugs .
mr. farah raised the standard for apparel production in the united states with a manufacturing plant in el paso, but he was not prepared to deal with the rising demands of the local labor force. in the 1970' s, he suffered a strike and a product boycott that ate away at his company' s bottom line .
mr. farah graduated from el paso high school and attended the texas college of mines before joining the family business. during world war ii, he served in the army air corps as a b - 26 bomber pilot and instructor. when he returned from the war, he married betty jean corcoran and rejoined the family apparel business .
one piece of the information he provided was the alias of his canadian supplier, a man known as cosmo, whose name, he said, derived from his residence in the cité cosmo, a luxury condominium in the montreal suburb of laval. mr. tiscione and his team eventually learned cosmo’s real name by eavesdropping on his network with wiretaps and by putting pressure on other dealers, but they were unaware of his lengthy history until they contacted the authorities in laval. the canadians described mr. cournoyer as a seasoned trafficker whose criminal career had begun at age 18, when he and his brother joey were arrested with a stash of 11 marijuana plants at their apartment .
as it happened, a different team of federal drug agents on long island had for weeks been following mr. curatola and were there that day when ms. jennings took from him a black express shopping bag filled with $ 169, 000, then hurried back to her apartment in brooklyn to walk her dog. they were also there when mr. castillo - medina arrived at the apartment later. when the agents searched the place, they found bags of marijuana, two narcotics scales, $ 500, 000 in cash and coded ledgers indicating deals of more than $ 4 million between a man named primo and a large new york distributor referred to only as staten island .
another top lieutenant was patrick paisse, a one - legged québécois who helped mr. cournoyer arrange a deal with the hells angels to drive huge loads of pot from fields in british columbia and greenhouse factories equipped with charcoal air filters and off - the - grid power systems across the border, hidden beneath the tarps of tractor - trailers .
before long, court papers say, the trafficking operation was “pumping regular shipments of high - grade marijuana into the united states. ” but in 2004, one of mr. cournoyer’s top new york distributors stole a load worth more than $ 1 million, souring relations with the hells angels, who lost out on the fee to transport the drugs .
these circumstances could not have been more different from those of his pursuers on the task force, composed of local detectives, career federal agents and government prosecutors like mr. tiscione. the task force, however, had a lead, and within a year of receiving the woman’s complaint, the queens dealer, who was caught selling drugs, was facing prosecution and became an informant .
the reservation, which sits along the border of new york state and canada, was a perfect corridor for shipping drugs to american buyers, and the native residents who worked with mr. paisse had long experience in moving contraband, like firearms and cigarettes, through its skein of private docks. one of the natives who took part, kenneth cree, lived in an immense house studded with surveillance cameras .
his brother, james, who had become chief executive in 1937, died in 1964, and mr. farah took the helm, overseeing the company' s transition into one of the largest pants manufacturers in the country. farah inc. , which was best known for its farah slacks and jackets and the john henry and savane lines of men' s and boys' wear, went public in 1967 .
the size and sophistication of his fallen empire were unprecedented, those who chased him say. starting in the mid - 2000s, mr. cournoyer managed the shipment of man - size bales of hydroponically grown pot across the border on motorboats and snowmobiles. nearly $ 1 billion of his cash was laundered through the sinaloa drug cartel or was ferried back to canada in pickup trucks equipped with secret traps in their radios and gas tanks .

mr. farah, who was as obsessive about order in his plants as he was about engineering innovations and good marketing, often rode a bicycle through the aisles of his sewing rooms monitoring productivity. he introduced dress slacks and invented machines that could automate the addition of zippers and belt loops. sales boomed. one of his great coups was to greatly help popularize the polyester leisure suit by mass - producing them; he made a a lot of money on sales of them in 1975 .
make a statement—even if it causes a little controversy i wore an outfit that was the most controversial thing in fashion this year. the materials used for these designs are from what we call the ghana - must - go bags. at one point, there was a lot of ghanaians in nigeria because of the oil boom. the nigerian government asked the ghanaians to go back. there was a mass exodus, and they would use these bags, because they didn’t have time to get a proper suitcase. going back and forth between nigeria and ghana, i would notice that the businesswomen, to bring goods back and forth, would use the ghana - must - go bags. i feel like this bag now represents me: mr eazi, the yoruba boy who went from nigeria to ghana. i called my stylist and said, “i want to dress in ghana - must - go! ” and i said i wanted it tailored in the most prestigious traditional nigerian fit. a lot of people got mad! they said they’d fight me in the street. but i’ve also seen people wearing it on instagram. it’s getting the youth to wear the ghana - must - go. at the end of the day, it’s all love .
the line included a sporty, waist - buttoned jac shirt, allowing a maximum range of motion and particularly well suited to golf or bowling. a handsome interpretation of the timeless cuban guayabera, with its richly embroidered frontal fields, was provided for more stately occasions. the standard model featured innumerable variations based on decorative stitching, sleeve buttons, collar style, breast pocket (s) and visually exciting heraldic crests .
during the seventies, the label’s trend - conscious innovations added dramatic, attenuated collars and bold wallpaper or geometric prints. new garments with these features were proudly 100% polyester instead of the typical 65 / 35 cotton / poly blend .

william f. farah, whose men' s apparel business was the object of one of the most bitter labor disputes in the history of the apparel industry, died monday in a private nursing home in el paso. he was 78 .
after turning a small family business into a multimillion - dollar public company, he suffered at the hands of his own board, and in a final proxy battle, he was ultimately rendered powerless .
his aggressive sales techniques and his ability to protect his trade secrets gained him admiration within the industry, but they also aroused suspicions of even his most ardent supporters, who at times found him overreaching. and he fell into a famous garment industry quandary, watching his later fortunes rise on a fashion hit - - the leisure suit - - but failing to get out fast enough once the fad faded .

you agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times' s products and services .
the bitter battle pitted the mostly white protestant business leaders of el paso against both mexican laborers and roman catholic leaders, who won the backing of national liberal politicians like george mcgovern, who was then the democratic nominee for president, and senator edward m. kennedy, democrat of massachusetts .
a year later, he returned, dismissing most of the company' s top executives with the help of armed guards .
in 1989, he again stepped down as chief executive, but he remained the company' s largest shareholder and a board member. he tried to regain the post through a proxy fight in 1990, arguing that the company' s business was faltering and needed his leadership. the board resisted, and removed him as a member .

jimmy cournoyer’s ring shipped marijuana to new york city. during an investigation into the enterprise, authorities seized suitcases filled with cash, marijuana plants, bags of pot, and weapons, among other contraband .
one day in january 2007, the disgruntled ex - girlfriend of a queens pot dealer walked unprompted into the district office of the drug enforcement administration on long island. sitting down with an agent, she bitterly gave vent: her former boyfriend, the father of her child, was selling weed .
as a rule, the drug agency isn’t in the business of settling romantic scores, but the woman, who had shown up with her child in tow, was adamant that her onetime lover was a major player in the city’s wholesale marijuana trade. a group of federal agents started looking into the man .
what began that day with a woman scorned unfolded over the next seven years into an investigation that went beyond the wildest imaginings of the agents assigned to it, an elaborate case that led to the discovery, and subsequent arrest, of a surprising quarry: an international criminal who is now described as the biggest marijuana dealer in new york city history .
“we never saw anything like this guy before, ” said steven l. tiscione, a federal prosecutor in new york who supervised the task force that broke the case. “in terms of his longevity and scope, and the connections he had around the world, nothing, nobody, comes close. ”
. his social circle was configured such that once, on a trip to ibiza, he attended the same party as leonardo dicaprio .
the operation was flourishing again by late 2007, when the drug enforcement administration began to make inroads in its investigation .
the flight to mexico left canada at 6 a. m. among the passengers onboard that day, feb. 16, 2012, was jimmy cournoyer .
landing at the airport, he was immediately detained by the mexican authorities. pointing to a “red notice” alert issued in his name by interpol, they refused to let him in .
“that’s when i started to see a change in my son, ” his mother, linda bremer, wrote. “he wasn’t focused anymore. he was kind of a rebel. i thought it was because of the divorce. ”
whatever his psychic pain, jimmy cournoyer had been driven all along by a singular passion, his lawyer said in an interview: a love of money .
eazi also reps ghana in his wardrobe, which is styled by mariam aduke abass and characterized by a mix of contemporary streetwear and traditional textiles—including his now - signature straw hat—from the ashanti region and the north of the country. he’s handsome and stylish, with a slim build and close - cropped hair, and has a penchant for playful jewelry, bright colors, and narrow - cut blazers and turtlenecks. asked about his fashion sense, he told us ahead of a big show in new york (tonight at playstation theater) that everywhere he goes, ghana and nigeria go with him .
sport a signature hat—and stock up these hats are produced in northern ghana, and they’re synonymous with herdsmen and gold miners. they are handmade, and they wear them because the sun is heavy there. they’re knitted but actually made of the same material they use to make baskets. the hats are sturdy. even when i put them in a box in my luggage on tour, when i bring them out, i just have to stretch them out a little bit and they get their shape back. ghana is very, very big on reggae music, so in a lot of art forms you will see rasta expressions—that’s why the hats are red, gold, green. anytime i go for a show and i don’t have the hats, it’s an issue. [ the audience ] feels like i’m incomplete without one. i throw them out to the crowd at shows when i’m on tour, so i have just four left, but my manager is coming with 20. when i played in ukraine, i was shocked to look out in the crowd and see people wearing them!
