Great clobber and wit Cap :-)

Perhaps you could borrow Armhaired's camera?

I'd suckle that teet.

That expression on his face is priceless.   "EHHHHHHHHHHH?!!?"

I desperately NEED new five pockets!! I miss my old LVC bed fords with the 11.75" rise. They trimmed down the measurements since and that's my cutoff point. Chinos just don't work with tropical sport shirts; at least not this cut. I need something more tapered... Where can I turn amigos? Who does decent five pockets with natural waist (MIN. 11.5"!!!) and tapered in the 7.75 - 8" hem region; preferably an off white (think Sperry birch) or similar to the ol' LVC's??

http://yellowrat.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Pants Acton Rates these and tbh if they had a UK Retailer I'd buy them even if that price was in $

http://www.johnsimons.co.uk/john-simons-apparel-company-5-pocket-trousers-natural/ I have never tried these, but I've been told by Acton they are sorta like older 501s, so might require a bit of tapering. As with most things little to know details, but I think they do come shorter?

I have the LL Bean Hertling, which are about as high waisted as I own, but I have them tapered in to 7.5. They get the WorriedHitMan seal of approval, so I guess blood stains come out of the natural colour ones? Only complaint is I'd prefer a less contrasting stitching?

There have been some great looks in here recently, I haven't bothered to contribute since my own recent attempts ended in a good picture, so good I didn't realise till I tried to upload them to photobucket and realised my Cardigan was turned in on one side... Will try to make the effort at some point in the future since it was all stuff I've not posted.

I'd recommend the Bean / Hertlings as well.

Also could someone please tell me what the hell Bedford corduroy is? Are they just ripping off LVCs or were these an actual cotton cord fabric in the early 60's? The old LVCs weren't a cord cloth at all, just a woven cotton. What are these Yellow Rats??
