*Snorts with laughter*  Brilliant.

FNB is refering to jingle bob spurs which have a pair of small metal teardrops on a wire candelabra to bounce off the rowel.

These in fact were popular as they did announce your approach to skittish horses and men.

I sold mine as the term 'tenderfoot' doesn't apply to easterners, but in fact your achilles heel after wearing these torture devises.

They are somewhere on a 'Dykes on Bikes' cross country tour, each on the left foot of two 'ladys.'
I think they are getting married in a state that just approved gay marriage. I should send something?

More Cod-Sociology?

FNB talks clothes & links them to class. Others talk class & try to link it to clothes.

Here's a quick explanation of economic class in America. If you depend on a paycheck from somebody else, you're working class. You can discipline your smug smile when people call you upper working class because there is a beemer in the garage. But you won't smile when that income disappears and you start delivering pizzas in a used Hyundai with a broken heater at night like a few well publicised banking executives covered in our local press.

Is there another concept of 'class' like  a guy named Archiebald matured into as Cary?
Or perhaps, let's drop class and use a far older, more nobler, yet fundamental concept.
How about manliness? Not the ability to wield a two handed fighting sword so much, as
simply finding a measure of value and worth in everyone and reflecting same in our studied
garantee of living a life worth living, including dressing for that life.

Some people run around with forum pocket squares and silenced snaffle bit loafers like a knight errant's colours or the open secret of some lodge brotherhood. And then there are those who distill fine clothing into a western artform no different than a japanese swordsman or english country watercolourist.

If that is  a distinct class, one a sociologist could recognise or any working class man for that matter,
then I want in.
