Dammit, the hat lets it down - need a new one.

Looks good my friend.

I have a sailor short jacket that I have been working on (off and on actually) since last November.... It should be done within the week and I will get to post my pic too!

Only that the suit is new and shiny whereas the hat is battered and faded. It doesn't show so much in the photo, but it's quite noticeable in the flesh.

Oh, and thanks guys :lol:

Magnificent, Sir!

I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map.

Aw, thanks guys!

Captain Jib, I haven't been in a proper fight since I was at school. The fact that I'm 6'2" and have a 48" chest, and a broken nose, means that usually all I have to do is leave my chair and whatever fights happen to be going on just stop. So, no, I'm not a scrapper, I'm a gentle as a teddy bear, but it doesn't do any harm to keep the illusion alive...

Kass, I said I'm best when I've got something young and special in front of me ;) sorry about the confusion! Oh, and thanks for the pocket advice... you can't see them in the photo, but I did the vertical ones in the end.

The easy solution to the hat is just to wear the suit around for a few weeks hard labor. Then they'll go fine together, all battered and faded. Looks good anyway.

I'm looking forward to explaining over and over again that in this suit I am dressed as an English Naval officer...

Coastie, stop trying to talk me out of getting a new hat. I want one dammit and this is just the excuse I need to convince Vixene.
