Have you/would you wear this?

All right, gentlemen, let's not turn this into the "satchel thread." Try to limit it to a single...Paige.


Hoo, boy! That even made me groan.

It made me smile, not groan. I watched him pitch (on TV) from behind the catcher. The ball moved like a wiffle ball. He must have been one of baseball's first, and best, knuckleballers.

"Knock knock, anyone home?" Connection blew right past me - was it a knuckleball?

Don't feel too bad. A lot of LitTrog's metaphors, alliterations, and onomatopoeia fly way over my head. I just happen to be a Satchel Paige fan.

That's a little too elevating. Flying under your radar might be more accurate.

A bit late...but on the Navajo reservation "dress jeans" are your newest jeans. Dress up is wearing your best jeans with your best boots, a white dress shirt with a bolo tie and a cowboy cut sportsjacket...and a cowboy hat. Actually looks pretty good. Never seen it, but out here guess a man bag would be saddlebags tossed over the shoulder.

So what is your kilted equivalent?

I see that a lot, and have even done it myself. But you'd better have a horse tied to the hitching post outside, or you're going to be laughed at as a poseur. My small town actually does have hitching posts in front of most businesses, and they get a lot of use, since most of us locals occasionally ride our horses into town. I mean, we gotta give the tourists something to take photos of, right?

Here, everything would be the same except I would use my least faded Blue denim Utilikilt Workman with a western belt buckle ( less than dinner plate size ). Still pondering the boots - may work with the Workman.

A tartan kilt would be hard to pull off here as most of my nicer cowboy shirts are patterned.

Geoff, no kilted equivalent - just commenting on the dress shirt & jeans combo with a saddlebag.

Tobus, used to use a saddlebag over my shoulder in a 3 piece suit and tie in New York City in the 60s. Had to manuever two huge rolling sample cases - one with each hand. So only option for a briefcase was a saddlebag over the shoulder. Don't recall any negative comments. Dressed like that in Manhatten probably obvious it was for convenince rather than posing.

It would be like wearing ghillie brogues with Bermuda shorts.

Now that made me LOL.
and short white shocks???????
