Took me a while to figure out that a 'Die-Cut 3”x5” Loop Swatch', is a piece of velcro.

Must be getting old. :?
 
Is that the price you have to pay to look like a womble these days??

I agree with you too john, the Svord mini looks pretty cool. be nice with some new scales!
 
If it was less than £50 and wasn't called "Shag Master" (or at least didn't have it written on the outside) I'd have that. It looks comfy.

But at £200 they are most definitely taking the Michael.

As with a lot on Heinnie's I find myself wondering who exactly buys these things? Like a £1500 Rockstead knife - has anyone ever heard of one that was actually bought?

If it keeps me warm and i feel it's reasonably priced i don't really care what it looks like.

Buggered if i'd pay that for a hoody though.
 
"Shag Master" I presume refers to the rough piles you get off it, same as a rough carpet or the robust shred of a good Navy Shag tobacco. A good Navy shag was popular when I was younger although I never took to it myself. For younger members :-

"Shag - The finest shred of pipe tobacco, in which the leaves are shredded into long, but extremely thin pieces. Gives a fiery burn and is extremely popular, even though in Edwardian England it was considered a thing of the poor. The majority of shag tobaccos contain a high amount of virginia tobacco, as their longer leaves allow this cut."

I'll have you know that some of the younger members of BCUK Smoke a Pipe and also Smoke cigars :p Yes I am 27 and I smoke a pipe, and proud of it too!

And That hoodie is a joke, I wouldn't trust or ware anything that uses a pun in it's name like that, is this the bushy equivalent of that Juicy brand that seem's to be doing the rounds?
 
OK, here in holland we smoke shag (not the funny stuff but it's just the name for rolling tobacco)

As do we :thumbup: shag is a common loose tobacco over here aswell. Shag is also a slang name for friend. As in "eyup shag, r goer " or passes that spanner shag ;)
