    should roman bath be reburied?

    If the site has been excavated, researched and recorded in modern times then it is doubtful that the location will be forgotten. One has to bear in mind that England is rich with Roman sites.

    should roman bath be reburied?

    Exactly, it performs the same function as the tab visible on the collar of the green jacket.

    The black one is a heavy woollen hunt coat which could be 50-70 years old. The tweed is basically a similar frock coat cut and was bespoke made for a member of hunt staff around 30 years ago. Hunt coats are still constructed in the frock coat style much as they have been since the 19th Cent.

    Show off the sports coats.

    A couple of my contemporary shooting jackets I have caps, breeks, trousers, coats and caps in matching tweeds too but often wear the jackets on their own. These and the above probably look a bit crumpled but they have had heavy use out in the field.

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    Good points Alan. Many of the smaller museums operate on a shoestring surviving on much volunteer effort, However as many area museum services provide good conservation advice, workshops and services it is painful to see exhibits in some places being not only poorly presented but also with...

    Long Range Desert Group Coat on eBay

    I to have bought from this seller too and found them to be ok. Shouldn't be difficult for them to provide some kind of provenance if it came from such a close relative though.
