Two home runs.<br /><br />"...I choose to believe that the kind of man who commissions such garments to be made would be happier to see them in use than be quarantined simply because the original purchaser has passed on."<br /><br />Doubtless. Who among us here doesn't delight in clothes? And of those, who thinks they should be buried with us? Great clothing is for display -- and fine pieces like that require a body to model them, one which is preferably upright and ambulating.

A lot of things went to the thrift store then.<br /><br />Some men donate clothes that no longer fit, or that they no longer find current (how many 1980s yellow power ties do you see men wear these days?). Thrift store clothes aren't always from dead men.<br /><br />On the other hand, I have some clothes that I inherited when my grandfather passed on.

Houses and furniture (yes, that Georgian Revival filled with all those great antiques) have a higher probability being directly associated with a death than any thrifted/handed down clothes ever will. <br /><br /> Dave Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027056742767537260noreply@blogger.com
