Well, I bought it. An uncluttered, minimalist, pippypoo and doodad-free black leather reversible jacket.
"Baby calf" hide, or some such thing. A small and innocent creature sacrificed its life, perhaps in a land far, far away, so that I may dress appropriately for my perambulations about a city defined by its similarly doodad and pippypoo-free signature architectural style.
Mr Joyboy, the salesperson, was as snake-oil slick as they come. I will be very happy in my jacket. It suits me. It fits me perfectly. Normally, Joyboy works upstairs, but on Saturday afternoon he was toiling shoulder to shoulder with the pretty boy salesman in the basement.
Next week is shopping night at Holts. I'm scared. Lock me up.
