Apropos of nothing... the description lists the body as 'gray wool'. My computer screen shows it to be a vibrant cornflower blue (this is NOT a criticism, just an observation). It immediately made me think of a Mathew Brady portrait; something about the confederacy and the civil war; the colors, I think. The blues and the grays...

Yes, I'm projecting, steroidaly; it happens, blame the pinot grigio.

Gorgeous tie, Norm.
