This suggested that such show-offs frequently wore bright and/or loud suits, though we tend to know them only from black-and white photos and therefore assume dull, subdued clothing. Dick Tracy's yellow overcoat and hat may be more accurate than you think!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-38674294674831547562015-08-17T03:44:35.488-07:002015-08-17T03:44:35.488-07:00Thank you Joe.
