Oh !

Is THAT what everybody's talking about ?

Yes , it was called Rettinatto ( Italiano ) . The word in English is Reticulated . If you are a micro-biologist , or an astronomer , you will be familiar with the word , reticule . Look them up . They are in your regular English dictionaries .

Makes me think back to when I was almost-sort-of the warehouse manager for the official North American Tomassini importer .

Brrrrrrrrrrr . . .

Those were the bad old days ! Don't go there !

That particular brand was one of the first to jump onto that little styling trend . For an extra fee , you could have three ( maybe even four ) color paint jobs , with fades , and with "Rettinatto" ( or was it Retinatto ? ) .
