Beau Brummell. Apparently, he's responsible for the suit and tie. Quoting from the Wikipedia entry:
- He claimed to take five hours to dress, and recommended that boots be polished with champagne.
- He embarked upon a military career, but abandoned it when he learned that his regiment had been ordered to Manchester.
- A falling-out with the Prince of Wales was Brummell's downfall; his famous remark, "Alvanley, who's your fat friend?" (referring to Prince George, who had snubbed him shortly beforehand) probably didn't help
