rolanni*We went to the ocean yesterday, and it was a fine day for it. Even the moose thought so.
*I am entering a sartorial panic -- I'm down to three denim shirts and two really shouldn't be seen in public. Denim shirts are a Fashion Necessity up here in the North, where they double as light-weight jackets on cool summer days, and are the reason Rolanni owns no cardigan-style sweaters. In any case, denim shirts with logos on them (my preferred sort) seem to have gone Out of Vogue.
I may be reduced to buying unmarked Dickies at the local KMart. Before accepting this bland fate, however, I did a websearch and came up with this. Just think of a Shirt of Stars, with each star embroidered with the title of one of our books. Con Clothes!
Not what I was looking for, mind you, and by the time we were done with the embroidery, it would be so expensive a garment that I'd be afraid to wear it, but it was good for a fantasy.
*For those interested in such things, well-known rascal and man on the town, Pascal Bonenfant, has compiled a resource page for 18th century Britain, including many cant words and phrases.
*The weather is lowering, gray and damp, but will it rain? Of course not.
*I find myself peeved at the day-job in the matter of compensation, particularly in the face of having an entire start-up department added to my plate without discussion, or, apparently, recourse. However! Balance is. The new webmail system is so difficult to deal with (to access it from home, I would have to shut down a lot of stuff that runs on my machine by default before signing into the college system), that I will no longer be checking in via email from home. I used to do that, even though I wasn't paid for it, because I thought Being Responsible counted. Clearly, it does not, and I'm glad to have that cleared up.
*The cats -- by whom I mean, Mozart and Hexapuma -- have been Very Clingy today. At one point, I had both of them on my desk, helping me answer email; one snuggled on either side of the keyboard.
*Where the hell did all this laundry come from?

Tree & Dragon shirts etc.
Date: 2010-06-27 01:58 pm (UTC)Some clans based on outworlds with majority Terran populations could well have adopted the Terran custom though.
That still leaves us with possible patches for Korval, Koval sponsored operations such as Binjali yard, which may well have their own logo, Hugglelans, and just possibly Ixin if line Gobelyn is still around.
There is textev (see Balance of Trade, 3rd chapter: Norn ven'Deelin's assistant/Ynsolt'i agent has an embroidered Ixin vest over a silk shirt) that Liadens *do* use their clan emblems on their clothing, but I suspect that the style is much dressier, even flamboyant and is limited to clan members.
