The Urban Angler

Ever since the new Barbour store opened on Newbury Street there have been scores of people ambling around Boston dressed in fishing tackle. Whenever I spy one of these dowdy waxen olive jackets on the city streets I always feel like adopting some bizarre, gnomic, ye olde Scottish accent and accosting the owner as they clamber into their double-parked Land Rover: "Big auld Trouty dwells in a pool up yonder, see, near the Crate and Barrel shop." I'd tell them. "He likes it played long does auld Trouty, he's a canny fish, aye, so tempt him with thy finest Purple Hubcab on a number twelve and give him plenty o' line. Good luck to ye."
Or perhaps, especially if it's a man wearing it, I'd say: "Excuse me, sir, but has anyone ever told you that you look like Princess Anne?"
