So I go to your Funksmile site and check out the new coat...nice!
Then I see and I'm looking at the "leather braid" thingy there, thinking to myself, "What's that?"
When I look at it a little closer my mind sez, "Hey, it's a little too long for what it's supposed to be, but they're trying for a Quirt!"
In fact I have one almost just like it. Your's is just longer...
