    He certainly was. He was the most dedicated member of this thread apart from you and me. We owe it to him to keep it going. I shall miss our WP lunches.

    Thank you Fox. You are part of his Lounge circle as a new but regular contributor to this thread. I was lucky enough to know him in real life as well as on FL. Stephen had about as many WPs as I have in my collection.

    Chaps, I have some sad news for you. STEVIEBOY1, a regular contributor to this thread, has passed away. He was in remission from cancer but it unfortunately returned with a vengeance late last year and I’m afraid that he died early this morning. I used to meet him for lunch quite regularly in...

    I shall read that. I am not a Friedmanite because I believe that his brand of economics is too doctrinaire. Hayek is a far more subtle liberal thinker. There are, however, a few surprises in Freedman, notably his support for basic income (aka citizens’ income), which is usually associated with...

    JMK is one of my heroes. He gave the ‘dismal science’ of Economics a human face.

    I went to The Other Place for undergrad and LSE for Postgrad.

    Fox : Trinity brother meaning Cambridge or Oxford? Arnold: That was quite an adventure and I am relieved that the sweater (and you, Sir) survived intact. I absolutely love the sweater; if you do make it into a cottage industry, or even something even smaller-scale than that (a closet...

    Very interested by that sweater. You should start a cottage industry of your own. I have seen the Daniel Day Lewis photo.

    Agreed. Do you also have a ‘collection’ of them?

    I have a fairly tempting 10% off offer from Bertie.

    I would be L or XL depending on their sizing. … I shall be interested to see their new pattern for the Staithes. I also liked the look of the orange and greys - and I like the rollneck a lot, a bit like the submariner sweater.

    Excellent photo and I love the Staithes. I have joined the Berties of Bay mailing list and am likely to follow your example shortly, despite already having an embarrassing number of Guernseys.

    More British eccentricity.

    That’s good; I know we both like all versions of the WP. I didn’t fully understand Foxtrot’s comment: did you?

    Don’t get me wrong - I like the Patchless versions as well. They resemble an older type of WP. I’m glad OKW introduced them. Originally they were marketed in Japan, where apparently they sell a large number of WPs in all styles and colours.

    The earful from the RSM would be interesting. … I am a traditionalist as well, but also an aficionado of the WP and a bit of a collector.

    Fox: I usually wear WPs /Commandos with patches and overall I prefer them both for style and durability. However I also have a few of the Patchless variety and wear them from time to time.

    I have several of the Patchless WPs as well: they are like the early British WPs - not so the earliest from WWII but 1950s/early 1960s.

    @Peacoat : I just looked and there are 18 Navy WPs in Size L with patches and 5 with Patches and shoulder straps/epps. Their website is a mess however. They keep changing it and each new version is worse - a bit like our current succession of Prime Ministers.
