Uh, Neil?  Warm Leather Trousers?

 leather pants" and Neil would have gotten ideas in his head)"

The ideas are still there, Jen!  That reference is to a fanfic vision of
Draco Malfoy in leather trousers.  I think Cassie originated this (Draco
Dormiens and Draco Sinister still being on my 'next up' reading list) and
I'd say it's a fair marker of absorption in the world of HP fanfic to
believe that Draco he really *ought* to be dressing that way.

We always have such fun in this group when we get onto the subject of vests,
pants, jumpers or suspenders... or socks ;)

Apologies to our newest members, who are collectively scratching their heads
at this moment.  It will all make sense eventually...
