Well, if you submitted an "I.D. Ten T" form to Google, it may have came back with something like this:>Thanks for your inquiry, the error code you encountered is common when users attempt to translate plain English into plain English. Like most other translation utilities, Bablefish is not programmed to meet such a request, suggest referring to the Webster's dictionary in conjunction with MLA manual or sign up at your local adult educational facility for further translation.< Oh, by the way, please share with us your 1080p photos of your elbow wear- desk burn from intense armchair usage LOL :eusa_clap

1080p photos eh? Please reference said adult edu facility and do some learnin' so ya knows the difference between photos and video.If it's insults you wanna fling, I suggest moving on.

I can imagine its hard for you to stretch so I'll make it easier for you, "1080p optimized photographs" upload, because, its not necessarily moving video, but is a resolution class that applies to displaying graphics, a la viewing photos in a video screen. As savvy as you proclaim I am surprised you don't just look it up in a translator haha- search for 1920×1080 (2.1 megapixel) resolution.

As far as insults, I guess your remark regarding "smudging tennis shoes" counts for a compliment. Hey, can't argue with your ignorance, now can I ??

Suggest think twice before you walk into firestorm with only personal use fire extinguisher. Ouuch!

Back to Jackets, yeah, I like wabi and all that good stuff, but I also like having pristine examples. Your mileage may vary (YMMV)

Gettin weird

Dude, give it up. I have a set of such photos for calibrating my LED displays. Nobody refers to photos as 1080p. Nobody is uploading photos for display on 1080p displays here. Nice try though. Polish yer shoes and keep yer jacket nice 'n' clean for all eternity. You fail to understand what this thread is about. We get it. Now, enjoy your shiny jackets and tennies. Bye. Take note of the title of the thread, then gOOgle "patina".

It was a beautiful jacket Breton. Only the saggy knits let it down.

Bill Kelso also does that. At least they used to. Too bad, nice looking jacket. But it was pretty beat up. Not sure I like that. I think you should keep the tags on jackets for that "new" feeling. lol

From Wikepedia

Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".[1] It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō?), the other two being suffering (苦 ku?) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū?).

Similarly materials that age such as bare wood, paper and fabric become more interesting as they exhibit changes that can be observed over time.

Not much I can tell you really Ishmael, no label in it unfortunately. Just a really nice old front quarter horse half belt, lined in alpaca, with some amazing grain.
