    My mission, goodwill top coat

    Keep searching the thrift stores and be patient. At some point the right coat will be there. Unlike buying something on the net you can make sure it meets all your expectations. Good luck.

    Joan Collins says British women have given up trying to look good.

    How did you find the lounge?

    I was looking for info on authentic A2's and stumbled across the link. BTW, Paddy's descriptive explanation seems to show some flavor from Garrison Keilor of Prarie Home Companion's Guy Noir. Could there be a possible influence?
