With Walt "Clyde" Frazier it all starts with the clothes. Whether at home, on the road around the league or playing an exhibition game in some backwater, third world dictatorship, Clyde focuses on his own sartorial splendor first.

Laying out his outfit and deciding on how to accessorize, has become a nightly ritual for his next day, especially game days. Starting at the footwear and climaxing with the correct choice of brim, Walt creates an intricate visual tableau that continues to unfold and reward deep contemplation.

Walking into an arena, dressed to his absolute Superfly best, Clyde both super charges his own confidence and eats away at the egos of lesser men that would be his competitors. Whether players on the opposing side, club executives, law enforcement or local government officials with axes to grind, they all must bow to the clear vision and expression of this unique man.

They say clothes make the man. While Clyde would not be that reductive, he definitely would say that clothes are an important part of the package.
