Another pleasant coat-related encounter this morning. I usually average about 5 or 6 a week, sometimes two or three a day. They range from gushing old ladies who follow me into the subway car to tell me about this history of buttons, to thumbs-up from young people driving by in cars. This morning it was a youngish professional-type woman, curly hair, Crissy-ish smile, who asked The Question ("Did you sew those buttons on yourself?") and then went on to explain that she writes for a teenage girls' magazine and that she was always on the lookout for "new trends". "Great job!" she kept repeating. "Great job!"

So let's hope the teenagers start picking this up. We can educate all the young people of America about English music-hall tradition.
