A friend of mine gave me a newspaper clipping with a short article:
"So, of all the jewelers in the world
A gunman dressed like Humphrey Bogart staged a £10million, two-minute robbery at a famous Paris jewelers. The thief, who was dressed in one of the Casablanca actor's trademark fedora hats and bespoke suits, calmly walked into the Chopard store brandishing a pistol. He then 'politely' asked staff to fill a bag with precious gems, designer watches and other costly accessories - the sort that have attracted clients such as Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz. 'Within a couple of minutes he was gone with up to ten millions' worth," said a police spokesman. 'He was in his 50s and looked pretty distinguished.'"
I thought this was quite interesting. On the news it referred to him as a well dressed man in a suit and a fedora hat. I like the way a fedora and suit is automatically well dressed these days, while 50 years ago it would be commonly dressed.
