Love the traditional terminology (coat) - Tailors' joke: 'Only potatoes have jackets'. 7/30/11 2:56 AM

I'll have to try a lined jacket thanks to your encouragements. That'll be forthcoming. I have no idea what that potato joke means, but thanks for the humor. I've got a pair of pants I need to whip up in that olive color fabric. 7/30/11 11:06 AM
