Well, "hook" isn't really the right word, as there's nothing hookish about the champagne cork coat hook. We all know hooks are for pirates, butchers, and amput... nevermind. Bad taste. Truth is though, if you're gonna lay your hat or jacket up on a hook of some sort, why be so beige as to make it just a hook? The ... continue reading
