CRAIG SAGER AND HIS "MAJESTIC WARDROBE OF BOLD SUITS" -- APPRECIATION THREAD SUPREME

An outstanding baseball player, some consider Del Cherry the greatest athlete the city of Kingston, Ont. has ever produced. But Del and wife Maude were most famous for producing a son, Donald Stewart Cherry. And one thing dear old dad passed on to his famous son was a sense of style. "He wore custom-made shirts," Grapes said in an interview with the Globe and Mail, "a diamond stick pin, naturally, custom made-to-measure suits … tight vest with a gold watch chain, long black mackinaw coat, white silk scarf with D. J. C. embroidered on it, black tight leather gloves, a long Dunhill cigarette holder with extra long Buckingham cigarettes, topped off by a gray Homburg hat worn at a jaunty angle. Sensational. I get chills describing him."

 

A sharp-dressed man, according to Donald S. Cherry, should adhere to the following advice. Suit? The Coach always wears a double-breasted suit, never single-breasted. Flamboyant patterns are essential – plaids, bright green and yellow, Canadian colours, to name a few. Shirt? High collared shirts – 3½-inch, to be exact. Tight around the neck. Tie? The crazier, the better – flashing lights, cartoon characters, flags. Ties must be tied in Cherry's special Windsor knot … tied backwards, single knot, not a double Windsor. Shoes: Silvas with extra thin soles. Jewelry? Cuff links, stick pin, gold bar for shirt collar. There was that one time when Don wore an earring in L.A. … Favourite accessory? Lucky CCM cuff links, which are allegedly 50 years old and in the shape of hockey skates. The Coach has a style all his own and it's a "beauty."
