\nI bought<\/strong><\/span> a white linen sports coat in Colombia that has a very 1950s Cuban look to it. I needed it for my daughter\u2019s destination wedding in Colombia. I got a Panama hat, too. Made in Colombia, not China. I have the Meyer Lansky-in-Cuba look down.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a shopper. So buying the white jacket at a fancy shop in Cartagena, Colombia, was memorable. There were a lot of pastels. Photo, please . . .<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d get much use out of the jacket after the wedding, but I\u2019ve worn it a couple times since. I wore it to a friend’s wedding this month. I was the only person in a white jacket, which was cool. At least I thought so. The coat is not a polyester Cleveland Pops rag. It\u2019s a nice-looking piece of cloth. Then I wore it to a gig. As bandleader I can wear whatever I want.<\/p>\n

Tonight [June 24<\/em>] I’m going to the summer solstice bash at the Cleveland Museum of Art. I just bought the ticket. I’m going solo. And if I don\u2019t go, the money goes to the art museum. All good. Three Latin bands will play outside the museum. I\u2019m thinking of wearing the white linen jacket. Why not?<\/p>\n

. . . I went.<\/strong><\/span> Two friends came along, as it turned out. My outfit was a hit. I am officially a fashionista. A random partygoer complimented me on my \u201clinen.\u201d Another said I looked like I was in Jurassic Park<\/em>. A Colombian musician dug my hat.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking for more opportunities for my white linen sports coat.<\/p>\n
