Others, like Sammy Davis Jr., Jazz Trumpeter Hugh Masakela, Actors Jim Brown and Elliott Gould, Manhattan Publisher Jerry Mason and a host of lesser-known straight men, are busily following suit. Hippies have long favored the style, and members of a Houston contingent not only wear them but do a thriving business making and selling their brown suede "stash bags" for from $3 to $5.
