Underneath the solemn black robe of a Superior Court judge, Jesse Caldwell was well known for favoring flashy attire over the traditional suit of courtroom arbitrator. Sammy Davis had this song, I Gotta Be Me, said Caldwell, while wearing a multi-colored pinstriped yellow seersucker suit and bowtie, with an extra splash of color from a reddish handkerchief in his pocket. Well, I gotta be me. I have a flamboyant personality and I like to show it off through my clothes. And I m telling you, you have to look long and hard to find clothes like this.
