EXPENSIVE SHIRT AND HAT
Store Display In City Today
Those who regard hats and shirts as a necessary but inexpensive part of a man’s wardrobe will look with some surprise at a hat and shirt, valued together at 2500 dollars, which will be on display in a city retail store today. The western-style hat, which is valued at 1750 dollars, was hand woven in Ecuador and took six months to complete. On the bow of the gold band on the hat is a replica of a spur in white and gold decorated with diamonds. The rodeo-style shirt, valued at 750 dollars, may not be as expensive as the hat but it is just as colourful. Hand made of gold lame, the shirt is embroidered with motifs to match the hat and is decorated with rhinestones.
