Mr. Truman didn't like baggy clothes. He wore wire glasses, a top hat to parties, and a man's dress hat, size 7 3/8. In his front pocket he liked to have three points of his hankerchief sticking out. On his his finger he wore a Masonic ring Mrs. Truman gave him for his birthday. His favorite colors for clothes were blue, gray, tan, and brown. He liked tan,blue,brown,red,and green 4-inch head bow ties. He walked with a cane because it was in style.
