Minimally Designed Pure Wool Luxury Coat Max Louis Raab (June 9, 1926 – February 21, 2008) was an American clothing businessman and film producer. Raab was the originator of the popular Preppy look in American women's fashion during the 1950s. He was also responsible for bringing the film "A Clockwork Orange" to the screen. In 1958, Raab and his brother Norman started The Villager, a clothing line that would define preppy Ivy League fashion for decades. The popularity of his clothing led the New York Times to label him the "dean of the prep look. In 1974, Raab founded the J.G. Hook clothing line. He had decided that it was time to revive the classic prep style of the 1950s. He also created a new necktie company, Tango, that again used unconventional materials for his ties. In 1998, after growing J.G. Hook into a $100 million empire, Max sold the business. Film In the 1960s, a filmmaker asked Raab if he would donate the wardrobe for his low-budget film (David and Lisa). Raab agreed with the stipulation that he could watch the filming of the movie. After three months of watching the creation of David and Lisa, Raab decided to enter the movie business. Raab also owned theaters and restaurants and started a small entertainment magazine. As a young man, he opened a car lot on North Broad Street. In his final year, Raab opened a small shop and website selling collectible model cars, sailboats, airplanes, tin toys and other items.[1]
