My 14-year-old son,John,and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store.It stood out among big and old coats.It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price,$28.I looked at my son and we both said nothing,but John’s eyes shone.Dark,woolen coats were popular with teenage boys,but new ones could cost several hundred dollars.This coat was even better.John tried it on and turned from side to side,eyeing himself in the mirror.It fit him so well.
