Fox Posted March 31, 2006 Author Posted March 31, 2006 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.

Jib Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Foxe you look like a bit of a scrapper! I wouldn't mess with you in a pub!

callenish gunner Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 now lad ye be lookin' the jack dandy in that fyne suit :) :)
Fox Posted April 1, 2006 Author Posted April 1, 2006 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.

kass Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Oh? Silly me... And I thought I spoke English... I want to see those pockets, man! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
capnwilliam Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Anda fine suit to show off, it is! :) Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Mighty RED ain' it? Why, you'd think he was BRITISH with all that red on his person Great suit Foxe! Just jesting with ya on "all fool's day", have a good one!
Coastie04 Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 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. Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
Fox Posted April 2, 2006 Author Posted April 2, 2006 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.
