a white hat & that striped shirt
When Gary Cooper met Pablo Picasso for the first time in France, he said, "You're a hell of a guy, but I really don't get those pictures."
Picasso was delighted and answered, "That doesn't matter. If you really want to do something for me, get me one of those hats you wear in the movies."

I loves me some Gary Cooper. Nice to see he was as cool off-screen as on.
