jdgm Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 The shirt is quite like a Nudie design, especially the breast pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) I double dog dare a forum member to buy this and post a vid while playing your HB. I think the last time I had a sweater on I was 12 or so. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Product/GABR-103-261/GABR-103-261-XS Edited August 26, 2022 by Sgt.

I used to have lots of sweaters. I embodied jersey chic in the late 70s. My Mum was a brilliant seamstress and knitter. England is cool and we wear jumpers!! But anyway....

I enjoy the word diversity of US/UK We call fenders 'bumpers'. I might even write 'Bumper' on the headstock of the partscaster if I ever finish it.

The accents and dialects and certain localized word choices found across the U.S. population are prime examples. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. But for the Blues - it was top grade wool and thick. Warmer than the 'sweaters' they sell now in Old Navy made out of plastic. And when it was really cold and wet, we'd wear our actual navy blue wool thick sweater under that blue wool jumper. And then, there was the even thicker pea coat. I only remember wearing all 3 on a cruise above the Arctic Circle. None of the above when circling Cuba ! Did they have prohibitions against sweaters in New JERSEY !? 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least the roof of the car over the passenger section. But it seems to me that Americans typically used "hood" to mean the cover of the engine compartment. In fact, my earliest regular job at Cadillac was to hang "hoods" on a conveyor where they'd be put together with their reinforcements and spot welded together. We just called them "hoods" and also remember.... One of the earlier cars' nicest features were their "hood ornaments". And where do you suppose THEY were located?
