You have such a coat, and you complain about others with similar coats? }When I bought my leather jacket, now people flock to sit next to me, when I }had my goose I got dirty looks and an empty seat. ROTFL. Sounds like reason enough to wear the goose coat. Of course, at one time the leather jacket had a similar stereotype associated with it. -- Matthew T.
