LOL, Roger, kudos. You managed to make a fundamentally dull subject both interesting and hilarious. Seriously, my fedora is off to you. So, are you selling these yet? A lady has been after me to buy a trench coat for years.

Excellent writing, Roger - as always - and with a history lesson too…..GM

My favorite college professors often wore seersucker jackets in warm weather and tweed jackets in cool weather/winter that featured leather elbow patches, usually on the elbow of only one sleeve. Sometime, please write about seersucker and elbow patches? I SO wish men (and women too) would return to thinking about taste in clothing.

Never knew before the trench coat was literally from the trenches of WWI - duh
