Yes, if you're a bit fuller in the stomach, jeans will tend to ease down at the front, leading to the impression of the jacket 'rising'. It's not the jacket. ;)
Also, the pattern for these jackets was developed at a time when trousers had a higher rise, sitting on the natural waist (belly...
The Welsh trip would be nice, but my work schedule being uncertain and being a non-driver means that last-minute train tickets would work out too dear at the moment.
I should like to see some pictures of the day out, though!
Silly, really, to imbue facial hair with symbolic force. Many men still wear their hair like Hitler wore it, and that's not considered an odd, authoritarian or anti-Jewish statment - and it's not called the 'Hitler fringe'.

US rules seem to rule the entire world of tipping... in this thread. USA ce n'est pas le monde.
Here in the UK, sometimes we tip and other times we don't. There's no accepted rule. Tipping is most often practiced, among those in my (low-ish) income bracket, in restaurants. Mostly never in...
Man, just buy it!
In my mind, a vintage rucksack conjures a certain spirit of adventure. Why not follow the adventurous spirit and quit worrying about straps and whatnot? :rolleyes: ;)
