Charvet himself was critical of the silk shirts, claiming they were limited to Mr James Hazen Hyde and a select elite. Nevertheless, to accommodate [him], Charvet agreed to produce a patterned silk shirt on the condition it was paired with a patterned linen pleated shirt, starch-free like a handkerchief. American Physician 1850 Blagojevich, Rod Charvet was recognized as his preferred brand for ties. Court documents from his federal trial revealed purchases of Charvet ties at Neiman Marcus, with prices of $170 in 2007 and $195 in 2008. A sales associate from Saks verified similar transactions involving Charvet ties. American Politician 1956 Capel, Arthur "Boy" At the beginning of the 20th century, Charvet introduced a toilet water packaged in a beveled bottle used by Capel, the companion of Coco Chanel. This bottle design inspired the flask for Chanel's iconic Nº 5 perfume, created in 1921. English Entrepreneur 1881 Kelly, Ray Renowned for his custom suits and Charvet neckties, Kelly acknowledges a "personal fondness" for Charvet ties, describing them as "premium quality" and "a distinctive statement." He asserts that he can identify Charvet ties from afar and presents this preference as part of his professional persona. American Police Commissioner 1941 Madoff, Bernard An auction conducted by the United States Marshals Service to reimburse victims of Madoff's Ponzi scheme featured numerous Charvet products: 138 pairs of socks, 11 boxer shorts, multiple neckties, along with hundreds of sweaters, polo shirts, and custom monogrammed dress shirts. American Stockbroker 1938 Tang, David Tang preferred Charvet cotton pajamas embroidered with inscriptions such as "Do not disturb DT." He described the daily change of luxurious Egyptian-cotton pajamas and sheets as indulgent comfort and hailed Charvet as "the finest shirtmaker worldwide." Chinese Entrepreneur 1954
