Grant's a funny guy, I stopped and bought a shirt on the way home from Eroica, he was all over the racks on the Merz, took a bunch of pics and didn't say a word to me.

I reached out after I got home and Will responded that Grant was very intrigued by them, find it hard to believe he'd never had a good look before.

Offered to share more info, pics, reach out to Jim, whatever, crickets.
