I do not apologize for saying, once again, that obituaries are the cutting edge of modern journalism. I get my best ones in The Economist, which has a knack for doing right by the sung and the unsung. Case in point: Jack A. Weil, the man who puts snaps (press-studs), fancy yokes, pocket flaps and deep cuffs onto the western shirt and turned it into a fashion icon.
I’ll pay proper homage next time I’m in Denver and not dead.

Well, well. The first thing the cowgirl noticed, she claims, was my blue denim shirt with pearl snaps. I think she coveted the shirt. I wonder what happened to it?
