  1. That I've seen in print, Frank had two guys professionally punched out- Buddy Rich and Shecky Green.

  2. Frank is wearing a trilby. essentially, a fedora with the brim trimmed down. seems to me that only city dwellers wear trilbys

  3. The hats are only cool because of who's wearing them! If I wore those hats I would look like a dork!

  4. It's not just the hat. It's also:

    Tie bar. (Which both keeps collar points down, and displays the tie knot.)
    Tie.
    Matching silk handkerchief.
    Three piece suit, including waistcoat.
    Umbrella.
    Pinkie ring.

    This was just Sinatra's everyday travelling-around manner of dress.

    If he saw a kid with a nose ring, blue hair, and skinny jeans, he'd have him professionally punched out too.

    Cary Grant would have worn a full-brim fedora, and the cuffs would have been French cuffs, with cuff links.

    And dollars to donuts, Dean's got a hip flask.

    We've sunk to a society of slobs.
