You guys have it backwards. On one of Will's last foot safaris to the region, Fletcher saw Will wearing one of those sleeveless safari shirts and just had to have one, and after having one made up Fletch liked it so much that it's all he ever wore after that. So give Will credit for starting a fashion trend. I'm pretty sure too (but I could be mistaken) that Will also invented the first stylus for inscribing stone tablets that never needed sharpening. It was a huge hit, a larger version of which became the first spear, and the rest, as they say gentlemen, is history. A footnote to this is that Will was successful in drastically reducing the weight of later versions of this piece, the first hunting weapon extant, and colorfully lauded on cave walls from Capetown to Cairo. Enthusiastically embraced as time wore on, and as more and more hunters began to walk upright, there was nothing to which it could be compared, and so that after the end of a long days hunting the professionals of the day were left relaxed, rested and ready for the next days hunt.
