Can't remember Sufu ever being so quiet as it is lately.

It’s just a coincidence of events - the English are away celebrating being European Champions, the Americans are away celebrating the fact they don’t need to listen to the English anymore, and everyone else is pretty much in agreement with the American approach in listening to the English

Beautiful color on that shirt, @Duke Mantee

Maybe you can answer this: are there any differences between the Bakehead and the modern Neal?

Yep - 500 yen :laugh2:

 

 

They are different, they started out more different and over the years, and more so recently they’ve began to cross over - materials, details, buttons are now shared (on occasion). Fundamentally the Bakehead was introduced to suit amekaji sensibilities of buying a shirt to fit the chest more closely, whereas the Neal represented the a more vintage approach to fit -  so while they look very similar, close measurements would show the cut is different.

It’s just a typo - it should say ‘A Car’

ARCA is one of the oldest auto racing (stock cars, that is) sanctioning bodies in the U.S., dates to the 50s. It was a competitor to Nascar at one point and now, apparently, is owned by Nascar.

That T is really cool by the way. I got the ARCA reference immediately but if you're not a US racing fan of a certain, shall we say, regional orientation, it wouldn't register.

(to complicate things a little bit, there apparently was also another ARCA series in the 50s that involved sports cars, as the current ARCA was once called MARC, the M standing for "Midwest" and became ARCA in the mid 60s...)

Ah, ok, cool...it's a bit esoteric if you're not a roundy-round racing fan...
