He is a sock-fashion icon
Some popular figures have the chance to become well-known for a hobby or accessory, which can sometimes come to define them. This was for George H.W. Bush's iconic socks, which he wore during his presidency. The fact that George H.W. Bush liked to dress in eye-catching designs is interesting; he once declared in an interview that the "louder, brighter, wilder the pattern, the better." Even further, this prompted the Republican National Committee to design a collection of socks based on styles worn by Bush Sr.
In honor of the more than 50 combat missions he flew as a young World War II pilot, George H.W. Bush lies in state in the Capitol Rotunda from Monday through Wednesday while wearing socks with an image of a formation of jets flying.
His love for socks also helped him build some new relationships, one of which was with a businessman with Down syndrome who founded his own line of socks. Bush received a shipment of socks from John Cronin, the co-founder of John's Crazy Socks, and tweeted in March that he was wearing a pair to honor World Down Syndrome Day.
