...likes a derby find one when the time comes for a new hat? Rarely. So he buys a soft felt, because that is all there is to buy. And whatever happened to the all-white suit, a favorite of President Harding? Where is the Chesterfield, the spat, and the well-starched evening shirt? The Unbuttoned Look.
