you're reading Fitzgerald you're reading Hemingway they're both supersmart and drinking in the cafes

So I had this black overcoat that I bought for a quarter when I was in high school and then decided was not especially interesting and never wore.
And then the other day my wife picked up a tattered pair of jeans with significant and important sections of the anatomy missing and demanded that I find them - and the antique, lonely coat - a good use or both would be going away.
And a few snips and some fusible webbing later - voila! A coat I can wear to poetry readings.
Problems solved.
