And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
In America, those were known as Sears Toughskins™.
Tim Allen had some comments about them in his stand-up days, IIRC.
IMHO, plastic in most percentages above a small fraction is generally a poor fabric for inclusion in good clothes, unless one is making bullet- or flame-resistant garments.
Hadn't thought of myself as obsolete Anon, but I guess you're right. My first real illustration job was after getting drafted out of college in 1969. Left basic training and shipped directly to the First Infantry Division (Big Red One) at Fort Riley Kansas with MOS Illustrator. Got a job with division headquarters as artist/ illustratior. Spent the next 50 years after finishing my degree in graphics as artist, designer and sign shop owner. The progression to the computer was inevitable and has produced some great art. I just miss the skill of hand produced art. Bubbarust
"Self-supporting"...?

Commercial illustrators. Before camera layout ads made them obsolete.

When graphics were great.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, "self-supporting"??
I guess for the Mr. Loopner types.
Ah, took me a sec. Self supporting, no belt or suspenders needed.
