While researching the work-in-progress, I stumbled across some statistics about the enlisted men of Wellington's army. Average height was somewhere around 5'4" or 5'5". I'm not sure what the average height of a modern British man is, but it's something significantly above 5'5", or I'd have felt like a giant when I lived there.
Yet all the Regency heroes are at least 6'.
That's a fascinating article. I particularly love this line: "a willowy Inuit is hard to find".
Ok, my temp job is right by a Gap, and I keep seeing guys in polos go by, with the collars flipped up.
This was the cool look when I was in 6th grade. Is it cool again, because it looks just as stupid as it did the first time.
STG, I see anyone pegging their jeans, I'ma go apeshit.

I've seen that on the street too, along with the layering of polo shirts.
But now the polo shirts are narrow cut. So they're cool.
Nope, they're not.
I have always hated polos. They are hideously ugly pieces of clothing. I was horrified when presented with one at my school and told I should wear it on casual Fridays. I would rather be set on fire than wear a polo. And flipping the collar up just makes the polo wearing look strangled.
It's an unreasonable hate, I know, but I can't get past it.
