Jones died Wednesday night at Eisenhower Health in Rancho Mirage after a two-year battle with leukemia, his manager Milt Suchin confirmed Thursday to The Times.

When the Milt & Edie’s tailor saw the pants, she shrugged and said, “Can I take out the pleats?”

I finally made it back to Milt & Edie’s on a Wednesday.

I took an immaculate Fall/Winter 1995 Yohji Yamamoto suit with tags that I got from TheRealReal to Milt & Edie’s, the venerable 24-hour dry cleaner and tailor in Burbank, in the hope that I could get the trousers taken out.

Milt McGiffen, a cooperative extension specialist with the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at UC Riverside, was less sure.
