It does. If you add up all the letters you get thirty, subtract the number of red "ds" and you get 26, then subtract the number of times the word starts with and "r" from the times it starts with a "d". You end up with 23

Here is the amazing thing -- if you add the 2 and the 3 in 23, you get 5. How many letters are there in "drape"? 5 Coincidence? I think not.

And if you add 5 to the number of times a Drape suit was actually executed properly (18) you're right back to 23. I think that this tends to prove that Drape was not developed by a tailor but given to him by Extra Terrestrials both to pull us out of the darkness and as a beacon to herald the end of days.

Ahh, see you're focusing on the wrong thing, think of the bacon my friend. Think of the bacon.

The buttons seem a little too far apart, but beyond that, it is spectacular.

So, jeffery ... what city are you in again?

In terms of how it flatters me, you are right. I just can't get over the bulginess. Testa dura.

For what it's worth, my wife was looking over my shoulder and says you look a lot thinner in the drape jacket.

But again, from me: wow.

True, but not they're not too off for a two-button. Maybe they'd look less far apart if we had a full body shot.
