I'm sure I've seen an ad naming this a Tuxedo but I can't find it in the database or in my catalogues.....must be alzhiemers setting in.

I've got sometimerzs myself....it only happens occasionally- when I need to remember something.  But I seem to remember Tuxedo too.  I browsed the ads and didn't see the ad either....
