Tip Top cloth, before anyone askes. CEGO has it if you want one of your own.


Sounds nice. How about some pics?

Manton: Folded or not, some pics would be great. Always looking to get more fabric ideas.

Btw: I don't think it's a club collar, because the points are sharp and not rounded. Does that make sense?

That made sense if I didn't refer to a collar they hav on their website.
Ja, op het moment ben ik Nederlands aan het leren omdat ik het for mijn studium gebruiken kan. But I am far from being able to say all the little things I would need to be able to say in order to survive where you live.

Gar nicht schlecht, SG! I am sure you would survive over here with Dutch like that. Nuances in foreign languages will always be difficult, I guess.

Why should it make more sense, except for the better price?
In Italy I would probably wander around and check out the loacals, like I always do.
I'm an adventurer.
