On wearing special clothes
Per Joerg:
Forrest Gump invented that a long time ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOHr85z9k64 One of my favorite movies. I know a couple from China who saw the movie just after they had arrived in the USA - barely speaking English. The movie made both of them cry. -- Pete Cresswell |

They're comfortable, not itchy, and withstand machine washing. On a rainy day they may smell a bit of peat-smoked sheep, but even after wearing three or four times between washes they never get the homeless shelter pong that polyester does. When you stop, they look like clothing, not sports equipment. (Putting your onw name on them might not help in that regard.) Well, I think wool jerseys still look like jerseys when you stop -- unless you go with the polo shirt look of the 30s. Anyway, I have several wool long sleeve jerseys, and I use them regularly during the fall. They are the perfect weight for use under a jacket when it is raining but not too cold. When it gets really cold, I go with fleecier poly jerseys. My wool jerseys are plain, single color Kucharic with no brand advertising. Never been a fan of the polo collar; it looks too much the product of the sort of rulesmanship that gave the world the butterfly stroke. Even without a collar there are gradations of indoor-appropriateness. The Portland Cycle Wear jerseys are near the top of the inconspicuous when sitting in front of a tablecloth scale. -- |

Real slow. Then they all had their noses pressed against the windows. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

For non-swimmers, butterfly was originally designed to qualify as breastroke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_stroke#History but it's nothing that would ever occur to someone that actually wanted to swim from point A to point B. -- |
