When I first met Senator Orrin Hatch as a fresh-faced staffer, he was wearing an elegantly tailored suit with a red silk tie. On full display was the sartorial sense that had earned him the title “Best-Dressed Man in Washington” many times over. But far more noticeable than the suit-and-tie combo was his choice of footwear: a pair of custom-made Nike running shoes.
A pinstripe suit with black Nikes is no ordinary look, especially in the halls of Congress. But then again, Orrin Hatch was no ordinary senator. And I would soon discover why he chose function over form.
