    Binge-worthy TV shows?

    Smoking attire

    I often wear a true smoking jacket, anytime we're under 65°, thin navy wool body, trimmed in sik maroon with silk maroon lapels and belt tie, I purchased 25 or 30 years ago from Cable Car Clothiers, Robert Kirk, Ltd., "San Francisco's British Goods Store." It's wonderful.
