‘I don\u2019t consider myself “the well-dressed man.” I don\u2019t make any effort in that direction. I do take a little pains occasionally with my clothes but just to feel comfortable. I also like to wear things that others don\u2019t. I rather enjoy fooling around with a new note here and there to see how it comes off.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think a man\u2019s clothes should be conspicuous. If they are noticed, it should be because of their conservativeness. It depends, of course, on the individual as to how the whole thing comes off.<\/p>\n
I like colors. Red silk handkerchiefs and colored shirts and socks too.<\/p>\n
I like double-breasted suits and they\u2019ll come back, by gosh. All those little tailor shops that have signs in their windows, “Have your outmoded double-breasted suit made into a single,” may have to change their tune. But they can never say, “Have your single made into a double.” Aha! It won\u2019t work!’<\/p>\n
