@Snowy:

@G, I wonder if you love for Western clothing comes from a childhood of watching westerns?

No, I just like the slightly more flashy element of a western shirt…

Does anyone use "What App?" It's a messaging app available for just about all smartphones, which allows you to send text, picture and video messages for free, even internationally, by using wifi or your phones existing data. I thought it sounded perfect for me for the NY trip, but not if no-one else uses it.

Thanks you all again, excited to get a western snap and learn directly. I continue to learn a lot 

Aside, the thought/comments of western/cowboy ideology came from a BBC doco called The Power Of Nightmares (

For some balance on the snaps vs buttons thing:

Snaps on shirts are quite a modern invention, they were [arguably] introduce by Wrangler in the mid 30's for rodeo riders so they wouldn't get hooked up by their buttons. They didn't really gain traction until after the War, so I think we can safely say that anyone who would have been considered a "proper Cowboy" would have had a button shirt.

Buttons work better with heavy weight materials than snaps do, would you want snaps to fasten your jean flys and try fastening a heavy leather jacket like an Aero with snaps only?

Should my next pair of jeans be Skull 5000xx or Fullcount 0105?

IH-555.

I use WhatsApp a lot. iMessage can timeout, if the recipient has no current data connection, and send a message a SMS instead. Might be better for NY if others are on it.

@Seul:

IH-555.

Do it!

Is this normal?

[Chris]

Is there anything about you that is normal?

[Megatron1505]

Not much, but this particular lunacy is entirely Pams doing  :o

You two really are a match, aren't you?

Apart from the height difference

[Megatron1505]

Oh, now I'm totally going to mention it to her in NYC.  You two would just look adorable!

[Megatron1505]
