Clothes make the man~Babylonian Talmud:Shabbath(c. 450)

In the Latin, "Vestis virum facit" with references to Homer, Quintilian and others.

The clothes are the man~Erasmus, Adagia (1523)

Clothes do much upon the wit, as weather
Does on the brain; thence comes your proverb,
"The taylor makes the man."~Ben Jonson, The Staple of Newes, act I, sc. 2. (1626)

Clothes make the gentleman or lady~William Scarborough, Chinese Proverbs, No. 365 (1875)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I arise in the morning, torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world.
That makes it hard to plan the day.~E. B. White
