re: #164 pre-Boomer Marine brat
Have you ever had that happen with a necktie?
Twice, I was dragged across the floor to a clerk by Ermenegildo Zegna ties. Now I stay th’ hell out of Neiman Marcus.
Neckties no, Pendelton yes, hardware and electronics yes. Most lethal are used book stores with a good selection of used and rare books.
