Chuckles briefly, and I wasn't as clear as I could have been either.

He wore both and he, and I for that matter, look at the off-white socks as being white. I got'em but rarely wear them. As to the spats, remember, I was a boy in the 50's when they were a common part of male attire even worn with a suit in some cases.

As always, appreaciate your input and references since learning only stops when life does.
