Every morning as we go through the lengthy ritual of dressing for the day Gordon always seeks out his Greek Fisherman's cap, his belt and wallet, and bolo tie. He's not able to thread his belt through the belt loops of his pants and so wears it outside around his waist. His cap stays on all day (except for the dinner table). The bolo tie goes on under or over his shirt and his wallet must go in his pocket. These are comforting supports - almost talismans - to help his feeling of security and proper place in the world. It's very unsettling to him if any of these articles are forgotten. Dressing etiquette has been condiderably relaxed in the interest of pride and confidence.
