My old man found a wool topcoa...The lad has taste!<br /><br />My old man found a wool topcoat (Louis) for about 40 bucks at Keezer's, took it to the front and pointed out that they'd need to fix the liner which was in shreds. The man took it pleasantly, smiled, said "no problem!", then looked at the price and threw it back at him (literally) with anger, telling him to "go to Louis if you want that kind of service!" Pure comedy.<br /><br />I bought a tuxedo there many years ago that was a wreck (plastic wasteline adjuster, the whole lot), but it did the job for a while. Years after it was retired a bigger, better-looking house guest casually borrowed it out of the back of my closet (he showed up to a black-tie wedding weekend in jeans), pulled off a hipster-esque tight-waisted, open collar, high-water pants look that women swooned over.

It could have been a three-piece bleeding patch madras get-up or something. :)mistermidwesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17991447839707804625noreply@blogger.com
