    I am enjoying wearing the same GAP Palomino Brown Chinos as Steve Kornacki: US readers will get this reference straightaway!

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Turnip, This is way off-topic of course but my understanding (from being taught Marxist theory as a student of History) is that the proletariat are the industrial class, mostly skilled and unionised, but the lumpenproletariat were unskilled, casually employed people who were (according to Marx)...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Being a cold weather lover I shall have to visit Lake Michigan in the fall! You don’t need to convince me about Outdoor Knitwear. I have been buying from them for many years and have an embarrassing number of their Woolly Pullies. I just think their marketing in this instance is maladroit - I...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    OK sent a 15% off pre-Black Friday email yesterday. They used a female model wearing one of their Olympic wool sweaters I think. ... This follows on from a few days ago when they sent an image of the ‘Woolly Pully cardigan’ (not a good innovation) on a female torso tailor’s dummy: the Woolly...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    The suede patches on the Rothley are larger than the patches on the conventional WP. The body is also longer. As I might have mentioned when this came up on another thread, the body of the Rothley sweater covers my backside when I am out hiking or just sitting at my desk (unlike the ‘normal’ WP)...

    It’s a thing for basic white women: Basic Becky (high school senior who wears Ugg boots) has a selfieccino so she can photograph it on Instagram. Her mom, dyed-blonde Karen, joins in to show that she’s still young at heart. Susan, Karen’s annoying and obese co-worker, tags along with them and...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    I know. I take part in a lot of them and instigated the one about Woolly Pullies.

    Einstein-style sweater

    Yes, I wore them in the 70s and 80s - mainly crew but also v and roll neck - as an alternative to Woolly Pullies, Guernseys, etc. I liked them a lot.

    I took delivery of a new Welbeck WP (Royal Navy) from OK and am greatly enjoying wearing it. The Welbeck is the version without the patches.

    An American friend asked me a few days ago whether I ever played Rugby ‘in the mud’. I told him that I hardly ever played it in anything else!!!

    My Grandfather's Collection of Wartime Cartoons

    As promised, chaps. The link below should work: Western Brothers, 'Keeping Up the Old Traditions', around 4mins 12 seconds through the clip, which lasts around 9 mins. The Polish Corridor reference is towards the end. If any of you don't understand the more obscure late '30s British...

    My Grandfather's Collection of Wartime Cartoons

    I’m sure there was a song from the era (possibly Western Bros) with a reference to ‘laying Lino down the Polish Corridor’. I’ll check this and report back.

    That is a marvellous essay. I hadn't realised, until I read the Wikipedia entry in your link, that it was written originally after a call for papers from the Royal Academy of Brussels. This is more than appropriate, when we consider the effects of Brussels Sprouts!

    It’s possible that fart humour just gets better - or more ripe - with age. Where do you stand on the ‘loud blast’ versus ‘Silent But Deadly’ debate? Which is ultimately the better weapon?
