Ed....Downtown

Yes, I know that look. I'm on the receiving end of it quite often, usually just after I utter the words, "Pardon me, I am a fashion anthropologist." I am not deterred, as you well know--particularly when I might have the chance to add another seersucker suit to my photo files.

"You've got to get the bow tie," Ed said, quickly getting into the spirit of the thing.

Perfection at last. And a couple of notes: Seersucker Thursday, that fine tradition in the U.S. Congress, is coming up in June. And I understand that a company in Charleston is making seersucker jeans. You can find them at a new boutique in The Vista on Lincoln Street called De Libel.
