Michael Speaker: Man With the Yellow Briefcase
Rear View - Briefcase
The other three legs come into view.
The shoes are bas relief; from left rear on the back side, an inside left shoe, and outside right shoe and another right shoe on the briefcase side.
The Fart Flap:
The bottom of the jacket has a double fart flap, a real term in the rag trade. It is an homage to the late Edwin C “Jack” Whitehead of Greenwitch, CT. He commissioned the “Bureaucratic Shuffle” which is a bronze of a six legged guy dancing in a circle in bureaucratic bliss. Jack specified a double fart flap using that term. He got his double fart flap. Even though I made a single breasted coat in front I added a double fart flap in back…no matter that a double fart flap is a double breasted feature. It's for Jack.
Le Petaomaine and those from late 19 century France would approve, I am sure.
