from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
Have you ever considered how many phrases involve articles of clothing? Fortunately Enrique Henestroza Anguiano has, and this witty Wednesday crossword is a result. Jean had no trouble with the grid.

(or something like that 😀)We love feedback! Send us a text...Contact Info:We love listener mail!
