Definitely a nice looking jacket. Well done (no pun intended.)

Arlen hadn't completely grasped the idea that the doors marked "DANGER" in the Great Golden Hall of X Marks the Scot are designated so for very good reasons...

David is usually involved with these things.

Wonderful jacket by the way.

Yeah, I really need to learn that lesson FAST!!!


In all seriousness, one of my hobbies is fire-breathing. I'm very careful and trained for a long time before I ever actually tried it with fire. I went ten years without a single accident.
I usually move with the wind even in mid 'breathe' so that the flames don't get anywhere near me.
However, on Bonfire night a very big and very sudden gust of wind caught the flames faster than I could move and they caught my face.
I got them put out in a matter of seconds and was pretty much O.K. Just singed hair and some second and SMALL third degree burns on my face which are healing very fast.

Hey... I can even eat larger bites of food, now!

Well I guess fire breathing is a better excuse than me using half a gallon of kerosene to light the bbq!

Very nice jacket, may have to hunt through grandparent's closets lol!

I am currently working on converting a navy blue sport jacket into a Crail. Pictures posted when finished. Initial cost, $US 3.78 at the Salvation Army thrift store. It had never been worn, the pockets were still basted shut.
That's the way to do it. Love thrift shops!!

Very nice Arlen, even if Diane does look the better model than you in it. It goes very well with what you were wearing.
