It reminds me of the "airport" stories I've heard about Kaffe sweaters. There's the one about the person wearing a Foolish Virgins sweater flying from Boston to London. When he asked to be upgraded to first class, he was told that that could not be done "but I will upgrade that sweater to first class!"
And best is the story about Raveler KayTheArky's Kaffe dotted diamond jacket:
I don’t even have the sweater any more! In the middle 90s while I was waiting to change planes in the St Louis airport, a total stranger asked where I got it because his wife would love it. I explained it was an original one-of-a-kind. Would I make another for her? Well, no, I didn’t think I could duplicate it. He came back a few minutes later and asked if he could buy the one I was wearing, and how much? So I asked an amount so big he would leave me alone -- $850 -- and he said OK and went to the money exchange desk and got cash “because you would never take a check from a stranger.”
Well, I was kind of stunned! A few minutes after that he came back again and said “I left you without a jacket!” and gave me a St. Louis sweatshirt from the gift shop!
Give that jacket a big red heart!
