The story

A leather coat from the 1980s, made to be worn for years and to look better every winter. The leather is a deep, supple brown with the gentle creases of a coat that has been lived in. The collar is shearling, thick and curly, and it turns up around the ears. The same shearling edges the cuffs and the hem, and it lines the pockets for cold hands. It has the smell of good leather. Hang it by the door, as it hangs here, and reach for it on the first cold morning.
