A Suit Speaks!

If you appreciate a finely tailored suit, or always wonder what the history of a vintage item may be, take a ganger at the latest entry of "Always Playing Dressup." featuring a special guest writer. It is the tale of old friends reunited that guarantees to warm the cockles of the most Stoic retro heart....

(And P.S. I always wondered what cockles were and why one's heart had them. It is from the Latin "cochleae cordis" - meaning ventricle. And going deeper, it literally means "Heart (cordis) Snail (Cochlea). Someone traipsing down the Appian Way must have thought they looked like snails. Doesn't that just warm your innards?

Stuff you need....Part I
