I guess you wasn't going with the train last winter in Swe. It was a real pain. We had LOTS of snow last year. The traffic was down a long time and was never in time. People here don't like the SJ. (Swedish railroad, it's a company, but they have more or less monopoly.) But I'm happy you had better experiences to share of Swe ;pOriginally Posted by Wirr
Comparing the Swedish railways to the Blue Line here in Chicago (which I take to work every day) is like compring a Porsche Panamera to a Chevy Malibu. The Swedish railways - faults included - felt positively luxurious compared to the hellish trains we ride in Chicago.

Her tailor did give the coat a major tug all the way around. I gather this is another Naples thing.Originally Posted by Manton
It kinda freaked me out when she did this - even though I had read of Ruby doing that too. She pulled really hard multiple times - all the while smiling and saying "don't worry"

Mina did not say anything about the shoulders falling, though I assume they will; all my soft coats have to date. Her tailor did give the coat a major tug all the way around. I gather this is another Naples thing.Originally Posted by Manton
Looks good but makes you look lankier than normal.

You look so skinny!
Very nice all around, certainly different look than your other suits you've posted.
Are the placement of the waist pockets a bit low given how long your torso is?
What's the purpose of the "tug"?

Yes, nice stuff all around.
Well, no surprise you are lanky, Manton.
A 7 page thread, and no mention of any cuisine in Naples.
Its not like you don't know how to write about food and cooking. LOL
Matt, Foo, Whnay, et al always say something about the pizza or some unknown little place.
How were the eats on your Naples trip?
