Of puppies and wool shirts

I have a friend that says "If you find something you like you better buy two of them. They always stop making stuff you like."

Guaranteed, if I like it it will soon be discontinued to make way for "New and Improved" which it very rarely is. The Kangaroo hide boots this pup gnawed the right toe off were the lightest, most comfortable pair of dress boots I have ever owned, had'em for years. Obviously no longer available! Spent hours looking, no cigar.

This is the “Gene Hill Rule.” I’ve been following it for years.

New shirt arrived, a hearty stamp of approval here. Appears well made, stitching straight and tight, seams all double stitched, nice clothing. Classic 85% wool, 15% nylon for wear and shape retention. For anybody in need I'd say check them out. They also have an extensive line of blankets, camp blankets, and throws.

My Dad bought me a new Pendleton whenever he couldn't think of something else, Mostly, at Christmas. He wore them all the time, but never seemed to wear them out. As I outgrew mine, I grew into his and it makes me feel good to wear his old shirts. I wear a different one each day, and don't repeat for at least 2 weeks. I believe I have about 2 dozen. My wife occasionally finds one at a thrift shop. There are many, usually dry cleaned and wrapped, on ebay.
My all time favorite is the Lindsey tartan, even though I have one Brown, and two Douglas, both of which are family names.

Mike, I looked. Not yet. I think you ought to contact them and point out the sales potential. Now.....the process may drive the loom folks completely mad!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! MADNESS!! I'd pay to see them weave a hibiscus pattern on that scarlet red wool!!

Come on down to visit ............ or stay. You can wear your Hawaiian prints to your hearts' desire, and no need for such extremes as shoes or heavy woolen gaah-ments.
