No kidding?
See, you learn something new every day. I had no idea.
Also, the Chief had on (IMHO) one of the most godawful tweed jacket/vest combinations I have ever seen. Most of the tweed I saw in the films was pretty nice, but this was horrendous to my eyes..
....and now you'll go look at it, and come back and tell me that you have three sets of matching jackets/vests much like his!
