Gents,
Just read it. Interesting on hats, but also on Presidential dress. Obviously a lot of good stuff on JFK and some mention of his two button suit. And of the many tailors, clothiers, hatters who advocated their products to him. Many good stories -- a fast and relaxing read for the bedside table. I found this book to have a fairly good grasph of scholarship too. Though I wish the footnotes were a bit better (there are not numbers or references to page numbers of text).
