    My fingertips are about 6.5 inches below by greater trochanter (GT). Mabe my GT is more proximal than yours?

    Man, if we keep doing this, we are going to start looking like giraffes!

    Re: Tyger's New Bonnie Heather Jacket/Coat Alteration

    So I had to googled greater trochanter.

    I shouldn't have said "widest point of hips"...my glutes make my "largest circumference" and the bottom of my fell lies a few inches above that point.

    Now that I know my GT from a hole in the ground, my fingertips are 11" below my GT!!!!


    Not a one-upper, I just have freakishly long hands. XL gloves rarely fit!

    Re: Tyger's New Bonnie Heather Jacket/Coat Alteration

    Man- That's CRAZY! Pretty cool, though. The reason I wear longish sleeves, as I've mentioned before, is more from the width of my shoulders than the actual length of my arms.


    Said arms hang down to a pretty normal place on my body, but they hang very far away from that body!

    Well, my hands are smaller, XL works. Size 8.5 or 9 surgeon's glove works too. A little tight at 8.5, a comfortable 9.

    I won't steal your thunder (yet) but that blade's little brother is coming to a certain music educator in the next few weeks.

    It's awfully pretty, ain't it?

    EDIT: And I'll tell you this: Shawn knows his grind, and he knows his heat-treat... those are difficult and impossible to show in photos, but believe me- they are there, and they are excelent.

    Different states, even.

    At Stone Mountain, people will be able to tell that we shop from the same catalog.
