All I got for Christmas was a Pirate Treasure and Riddle
After unwrapping 45 meters of wrapping paper to my surprise I had wrapped myself pirate treasure separated in two trunks. The first trunk had a skeleton holding a map. The second trunk had a mirror. I hopped in the first trunk and ended up in Bermuda with the second trunk full to the brim with golden doubloons.
Its a riddle... can you figure it out? I'll bet you can't. Whoever solves it first gets a linen bag chock full of Buffalo Nickels, making this THE FIRST FPF GIVEAWAY. Take some guesses and win those Nickels.
The Herringbone Jacket: Ralph.
The Striped Poplin: Gant.
The Green Christmasy Cords: Gant.
The Cashmere Sweater: Ralph.
The Longwing Boots: Alden.
The Necktie with stripes on it: Brooks Brothers.
Kiel, Question for you. How did you get that "beat to hell, lived-in look" of that Ralph herringbone jacket? It may just be the lighting in the photo. I bought a vintage Harris Tweed Herringbone sports jacket a while back and have been tempted to dunk it in the washing machine to give it some character. Just curious. Great blog and Merry Christmas. Too many drinks to figure out that riddle. Thanks Ron

ReplyDeleteYou are either holding the wrapping paper or are wrapped in it when you hop in the first trunk. You land on the Bermuda part of the map. The wrapping paper casts a reflection in the mirror of the second trunk and causes a pattern on the mirror that makes the second trunk seem full of doubloons.
