@RobeOfTheMagi I think you’ve been around long enough to know that the correct answer is both (but not necessarily at the same time)

Yesterday was a CPO day, today was a type III day – I wouldn’t want to give either of them up!

@ZackB said in Random conversations:

@RobeOfTheMagi modified denim jacket or non-modified?

Both of course :).

[ZackB]

@RobeOfTheMagi I definitely prefer the CPOs and jackets with pockets. If I had to chose I think I’d go with a denim jacket though. Just prefer the look over a cpo personally but there are quite a few cpo shirts I’d like to get . I think @ARNC nailed it with both.

Which do you prefer?

[ARNC]

@ZackB Either way, the pockets are essential - they make life so much easier at venues where a bag is not allowed/discouraged. You just need to remember that CPOs don’t have internal pockets!

[Blueband]

@RobeOfTheMagi CPO for me, fits/ Suits my body type better.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I love denim jackets but only if they are really short. I have never owned a CPO shirt. They look splendid online, however I don't know how they might look on me.

Hi All, Does anyone knows about this Waffleknit with pocket model when it were produced and the name of the model? I couldn't find it anywhere.

[Tago Mago]

@iMoe possibly this - IHTL-1900

[iMoe]

@Tago-Mago Thanks M8 it is

I saw a Jaguar E-Type at a car show today with this rather interesting number plate. Why indeed? Or why not?

Has anyone else been noticing really really big cuff turn ups being worn around these days? By seemingly anyone, not even people appear remotely interested in denim or even fashion really. Like Filthy Mike size single cuffs 8-12" high. Not that I gaf about what's in style, I'm wondering if I'm just late to notice this, if it's a new thing, and if anyone else think the Mike's looking down smiling at this?

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman I have been noticing that I’ve been enjoying a cuff more than I used to. Perhaps I’m sensing a trend through osmosis uptake that the larger society is emitting?

Here’s a snippet of a conversation between Katie and me while walking the dog earlier…

Me: I’d really like to dress more like Magnum PI in the summer but it’s occurred to me that contemporary gay men dress that way.
Katie: Yeah, that’s a real problem for you.
Me: I know. I’m just too straight to be gay.
Katie. And you’re too gay to be straight.
Me: I walk a thin pink line.

Im not sure where to post this, or indeed if anyone is remotely interested, but I get a special kick out of taking something awful, and turning it into something slightly less awful.
Here’s what a cheap N3b, a tub of dylon and some marker pens can do…

I should probably get out more.

[Mizmazzle]

@NorvilleRogers that looks way less worse!!

[NorvilleRogers]

thanks @Mizmazzle …I calculate it as at least 50 percent increased unbadness.

[Mister_Brue]

@NorvilleRogers Where does that leave us on the ‘good’ scale, if anywhere?

[Mizmazzle]

@NorvilleRogers for something that was so not good this is so much gooder than it was.

[Oaktavia]

Haha ooookay yup it's gooder than badder.

[NorvilleRogers]

@Mister_Brue … on the ‘good’ scale Id put it somewhere between reduced mediocrity and average plus. But that’s using Imperial. Don’t ask me in Metric…Im old school
