It's the Bomber

Veda's New Leather Clothing

Franny Fickle: Oh dear, should I wear my leather pants or my stretch leggings? Guess I’ll just ring the butler. Butler!

Lyndsey Butler: At your service.

Fickle: You never studied fashion, but you sure know your stuff. You’ve got a debut collection called Veda and your own New York boutique. Can you help?

Butler: Absolutely. In a pair of leather and stretch-knit pants, you’ll get the best of both worlds: leather front panels, stretch blocking on the rear. They’re as comfy as leggings, buttery soft, and super subtle.

Fickle: Wowsers.

Butler:  Pair ’em with my double-zip-front Viper bomber, and you’ve got yourself an outfit. Everything I make has leather in it, but it’s all reasonably priced. I just won’t help you dress without a definitive yes.

Fickle: No ifs, ands, or Butlers.
