Gentlemen's sports clubs of the time often had swimming, steam baths and associated gymnasia. I assume at least some of the men would exercise nude. With their widespread celebration of the Greek ideal male body would, I hope have lead to thinking that the revived Olympics should be held nude. If only they had...an opportunity sadly missed...

When President John F. Kennedy removed his hat at his inauguration -- and did not put it back on for the ride to the White House -- it was said the younger generation took this as an "OK" for guys to go without hats. It's part urban legend, but an old uncle of mine who owned a men's clothing store back then said there was a little truth in that statement. I quote from memory...he said "Jackie was the fashion setter, but John had some impact on the sales of men's hats."
