I was living in Manhattan and appearing in the original company of a rather notorious show, “Oh Calcutta”. A friend, Joe Wemple and I were wandering past the window of a trendy boutique and stopped to marvel at a beautiful leather shirt in the window. Way out of our price range. I don’t know why, but something made me tell him I could make one just as beautiful.
