And, according to one of my Facebook chums, so are fedoras, so maybe all hats that begin with 'F' are cool- must dig out my Native American Feathered Headdress.  Did I hear Feathered Headdress? |

Herr Döktor, I want your black coat (and your Tardis)! It's very snazzy. And you have an old-school Tardis key.

Well, just to put something new on the new thread, some pictures from today.
An original picture of me in my Inverness cape ad then two 'Aged' photos.
Lord Arlen Donald, Tenth Earl of Danesmead, Lord of Loch Marbleberry.
In Saxon attire for Visiting London.
Very nice Arlen! I love the cape and kilts are always cool. Managed a couple of outfits this past weekend:
Tongue tied while finding the words to tell you how much I enjoy seeing such a dashing man in such dashing attire.  Did I hear Feathered Headdress? Squire those are some fine feathers! |

Very nice Arlen! I love the cape and kilts are always cool. Thank you. I am very lucky to have a wife who is an accomplished knitter and a friend who is an accomplished sempstress. They made a deal that my friend would make me a custom fitted Inverness Cape and my wife would knit her husband some custom fitted Arygle Kilt Hose. (He has legs like tree trunks.) Had my wife been selling the hose she would have charged $200 at least because of the size of his legs and my friend charges $150 for a custom fitted cape so we husbands got a fantastic deal. WE really should do something to say thank you to our talented wives properly!!! |

I have no one to take a good photo of me right now, but this is the outfit I wore last weekend. A mix of thrift store finds, stuff I hand made and vintage shops I need to find myself, (A) a girlfriend to take photos of me, (B), A stranger that wont run away, or (C) whenever the next meetup is. |

Both of those outfits are dead bangup! Magnificence!
And the Skypirate joint is TOTALLY giving me Disney's Tailspin flashbacks, which I'm thoroughly enjoying!

Aw, thanks Georgia! I LOVE linen, so when I found dress shirts for cheap made of it I jumped at them. I got one in a khaki green too. Though I think I'll try dying that one black. Jerry, The storm that's going outside has killed the natural light, so taking pics of the stick is a bit of a no-go with the light setup I have in my place. It's the Cold Steel Slim Stick. Carbon fiber shaft and aluminum head. Wicked light and wicked fast. REALLY strong too. |

You are quite welcome. I definitely understand jumping at inexpensive linen shirts. Good luck dying the other, I'm assuming it didn't come in black |

You are quite welcome. I definitely understand jumping at inexpensive linen shirts. Good luck dying the other, I'm assuming it didn't come in black No, unfortunately. They had two styles, one that came in either pink or baby blue, the other that came in khaki green or white. I got the later. First pic: All ABOARD!!! Going off the rails on a Crazy train! Come on ride the train...ride it! Train waits for no man...  I like that hat!!!! |

Are you kidding me? It's GREAT!
I wanted to be an train engineer as a lil tyke. Or dig up dinosaur bones as a Paleontologist. But once I drew myself 'how I was gonna be as a grownup' and I had a purple mohawk and Hulk Hogan 'stache.

HA! The head really does look a bit like a disco ball. Or rather it reflects like one. It's got dimples like a golf ball. I'm currently talking to my blacksmith about a Steamy replacement. |
