No such deal ever existed, and from the get go "cable" television was always profit driven (just like the BBC). As the number of networks expanded the amount of available programing was unable to keep pace, and the networks were forced to broaden the scope of the kinds of programs they...
Television is all about entertainment, not education (a word we don't even use). Programming, because it is expensive, has to be entertaining to hold an audience. If they can take something away from the program -- an idea, a concept, or a fact -- so much the better. If you want merely to be...
I may be in error, but I am given to understand that when the long coat is worn by NYPD officers their duty side arm is carried in a pocket holster to facilitate ease of access.
As a believer in an orderly society I carry a pistol year round and only wear panamas after May 15th, and then only on weekends. Beginning with the Memorial Day weekend I wear panamas with linen and seersucker suits. Otherwise, like tealseal, it's light coloured felt hats.

Actually, bolos carry pretty well in a shoulder holster, and the Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu used to keep one up his sleeve. Not sure what sort of holster he had, but it musta been pretty damn clever.
I think it boils down to the fact that there are two kinds of Barbour owners, and Barbour makes jackets for both; those who view the Barbour as a strictly utilitarian object (like the Land Rover Defender, or a Labrador retriever) and those who see them as a fashion/status statement (like the...
In the twenty two years I lived in Ireland before moving to the USA, I can only remember having a Barbour re-waxed once. And I wore mine almost every day (rains a lot over there). What do you guys do, over here, that would require waxing a Barbour even once a year?
Where I come from Barbours are green (although some ladies wear blue or brown) and one is judged by the age of their Barbour and the length of the drive leading up to their house. That said, I don't recall lint being a problem. Dog, cat, and horse hair tended to stick to the jacket, but only...
