My memory is a story breaking in the 60s saying he wore custom made cashmere socks that, at the time, ran about $80/pair. He initially attempted to defend the practice, then shut up and tried to let it pass. Less media back then, and for the most part, the story died away.I read an article about Jerry Lewis only wearing new socks each day and donating them after a single use. I'd like to do that with both socks and underwear if I had the money.
