I wear men's pyjamas. I gave up on soppy womens brushed cotton jim jams years ago. You would put on a brand new pair and they were all baggy and cosy and fleecy. After one wash they had shrunk in every direction about 6 inches and made me feel like the incredible hulk. As for nighties, well i never understood the point of wearing something so bilious and easy to rumple up. Go to sleep nightie neatly arranged. Wake up, nightie is round neck strangling you, leaving a bum as cold as marble to the touch.
Skirts and dresses get put one side for a few days as winter bits. Trousers definitely the way to go.
Another photo of my berry/burgundy trouser suit from before Christmas xx ❤️❤️
A real unknown French four-seat tourer aircraft which was built in 1937. Unfortunately this lovely trousered aircraft was destroyed at Saint-Cyr during a test flight.
After Kees Korts research and with thanks to his expertise:
Bimoteur Lagrevol-Porte
This twin-engine monoplane made its first appearance in the French news in the issue of Les Ailes for 30 March 1939. Besides two pictures of the machine the heading of the article identifies it as the Lagrevol-Porte bimoteur.
The article details the men as Mr. Lagrevol, a specialist engineer and Mr. Eugêne Porte, a notary from Djidjelli (today Jijel in Algeria). Mr. Porte is described as an experienced user who had totalled 450 flight hours with diverse machines.
Another source is the 1992 study about light aviation in Algeria 1909-1939. It is also describes the machine identified here shortly as the bimoteur Porte. First tests were started in the beginning of 1939 on the field at Saint-Cyr (near Versailles) and were very encouraging. It had great promise but the war arrived halting further tests and development completely.
Several questions remain open:
what was the connection to S.E.T.C.A.
who actually financed the building
which firm / company actually built the design

Red satin blouse, trouser jeans, and acorn necklace, Express. Black cami (barely visible), NY & Co. Plaid pumps, Charlotte Russe.
Although we technically do not have casual Friday at my workplace, I like wearing denim on Fridays. I’ve been longing for a pair of trouser-style jeans to wear to work. This pair, from Express, was a good fit. (Express, in general, fits me well.) They were a bit long, so I washed them in hot water and tumbled dry to shrink them up a bit.
Oh, these Vogue Elements 9745 wide-legged trousers just make me want to cry. When I first made them in January 2012 I was super into them—they are a beautiful shade of blue, they are corduroy, they are my first pair of successful non-pajama me-made trousers and they fit and they are SO COMFORTABLE (partly due to the hidden elastic waistband).
Yet, they really are just sad, troubled pants as you can see from this photo, which is why I haven't worn them since Me Made May 2013. Fresh off the ironing board and already the crease in the leg is fading and they are just... saggy and baggy. UGH. They just look WRONG. It doesn't help that my husband who usually loves everything I make hates them and says "they aren't very... flattering."
Should I just ditch them and move on to new pants? I think I had better stick with more fitted straight leg or skinny jean styles... they seem to work better on me.
By the way, my daughter is wearing her Tomten Jacket I knit for her a few years ago—she's finally growing into it.
A trouser suit, I've come round to the idea that these can look as adorable as any dress or skirt suit and now actively seeking one out. I'd need a longer length trousers though!

The laggar falcon (Falco jugger) is a mid-sized bird of prey which occurs in the Indian subcontinent from extreme south-east Iran, south-east Afghanistan, Pakistan, through India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and north-west Myanmar.
It resembles the lanner falcon but is darker overall, and has blackish "trousers" (tibiotarsus feathers). Fledglings have an almost entirely dark underside, and first-year subadult birds still retain much dark on the belly.
This species belongs to a close-knit complex of falcons known as hierofalcons. In this group, there is ample evidence for rampant hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting which confounds analyses of DNA sequence data to a massive extent; molecular studies with small sample sizes can simply not be expected to yield reliable conclusions in the entire hierofalcon group. The radiation of the entire living diversity of hierofalcons seems to have taken place in the Eemian interglacial at the start of the Late Pleistocene, a mere 130,000-115,000 years ago; the laggar falcon represents a lineage that arrived at its present range out of eastern Africa by way of the Arabian Peninsula which during that time had a more humid climate than today.[2]
Laggar falcons used to be the most common falcons in the region, but numbers have declined markedly in recent times and today it is probably nowhere a common species anymore. The main threats are the intensification of pesticide use in the region and use as a decoy to trap large falcons.

Juggerfalken är världens snabbaste landlevande djur med en mängd fascinerande anpassningar till snabba flygningar ocah ett liv i luften. Detta makalösa djur härstammar från dinosaurierna!
Juggerfalken är en medelstor falk som lever i södra Asien. Den är nära släkt med slagfalken som främst lever i Afrika. Juggerfalken är lite mörkare än slagfalken och den är mörk på vingar, rygg och benfjädrar. Juggerfalken har en rödbrun hjässa, vita linjer över ögonen och ljust, spräckligt bröst.
Falkens fjäderdräkt har anpassats till dess flygteknik och jaktmetod. Vingpennorna består av hårda och styva fjädrar och vingarna är smala och spetsiga, vilket är en anpassning för att flyga riktigt fort. Den långa stjärten, som fungerar likt ett roder, gör också falken till en smidig flygare. Ju längre stjärt desto bättre precision och styrförmåga i luftakrobatik har fågeln. Varje år byts de slitna fjädrarna ut vilket görs vartefter, fjäder för fjäder – detta kallas för att den ruggar. Om fjädrarna inte skulle bytas ut skulle inte fågeln behålla sin flygförmåga och heller inte sitt skydd mot regn och isolering mot kyla och värme. Fågeln ruggar i ett speciellt system där fjädrarna släpper i par på samma ställe på respektive sida. Detta för att behålla bästa möjliga flygförmåga även under ruggningen. När fjädrarna växer ut är det blod i ”skaftet” av fjädern, vilket dras tillbaka då fjädern har växt klart. Varje fjäder består av små strån av keratin, likt naglar och hår, som sitter ihop med hjälp av små hullingar. När fågeln putsar sig smörjer den fjädrarna med fett från en särskild körtel vid stjärten som gör fjäderdräkten vattentät.
Falkar har en syn med två områden i ögats synfält där de kan se skarpt– ett framåt och ett åt sidan – till skillnad från bland annat människan som har ett. Detta möjliggör för falken att hålla koll på sitt byte samtidigt som den håller koll på omgivningen och eventuella annalkande faror. Falkens hjärna tolkar dessutom synintryck på ett annorlunda sätt än människans; på ett snabbare sätt. Effekten blir att fågeln ser i ”slow motion” i jämförelse med mänsklig syn. För människor kan det därför upplevas som att fåglar reagerar på saker innan de har hänt.
Falken är världens snabbaste landlevande djur. Den snabbaste av alla falkar är pilgrimsfalken som kan komma upp i hastigheter om 300 km i timmen eller mer. Juggerfalken har en något flackare flygstil och kommer därför inte upp i samma hastigheter som pilgrimsfalken. De snabba synintrycken och skarpa synfälten är en av många väsentliga egenskaper hos falken för att den ska klara av att fånga byten under de otroligt snabba flygningarna. För att rovfågelns ögon inte ska torkas ut i det kraftiga luftmotstånd som de snabba flygningarna medför har de en genomskinlig blinkhinna, ett ”tredje ögonlock”. Blinkhinnan som fälls ut över ögat, från sida till sida, ger skydd och fukt åt ögat och möjliggör för fågeln att behålla synen skarp.
Likt många andra rovfåglar har falken en gripreflex i sina starka fötter som, tillsammans med de långa klorna, gör att de kan fånga och hålla kvar byten i luften. Reflexen utlöses när bytet träffar foten och fågeln kan inte styra själv över att gripa eller släppa. På näbben har den en så kallad falktand som används för att döda bytet. När den äter sitt byte fäller den ut vingarna över det, ett beteende som kallas för att mantla och som har som funktion att skydda måltiden från andra rovfåglar.

Stockholm was the test case for trying out women as patrolling officers in 1950s Sweden. It proved to be a long winding road. Up until then women within the policeforce had served as "police nurses", mainly working with women and children, or as administrative personel. But now the time had come to include women also in operational street work. However, the battle got so heated, from the top dogs, but also from fellow male officers and the police union, that Swedish female police officers were actually banned from wearing uniform (uniformsförbudet) and were officially taken off street duty for a few years in the break between the 1960s-70s. Nor were women during this time allowed into the Police Academy. It wasn't until one single particular police woman offically "wrote to the king "("gå till kungs" in Swedish) that this order was revoked and police women started to become an integral part of all Swedish police tasks and forces. And folks, this really was not at all that long ago.
The clothing piece called "trousers" has had much more to do with this than we might think or even believe now. Trousers, traditionally in history seen as something that single-handedly defined the man and thus only belonged to him, were not a self-evident part of the police woman's uniform outfit until ca 1975-1980. Instead, for policewomen's operational street duties, a compromise was worked out in the (in)famous culottes (in Swedish literally "trouser-skirt", byxkjol). The battle over police women's right to wear trousers "on the beat" went on for many years during the mid-1900s, in Sweden and many other countries. In Sweden at least, among other things, it was argued that police women's wearing trousers on the streets would make it impossible for the public to see the difference between a male and a female officer.
Now, some decades later, for a sociologist like myself, the burningly interesting question is simply; why was it important that civilians could tell the difference? I promise you, in trying to put the pieces together regarding that question you can unwind great parts of the social, personal and political emancipation of women during the last century. So exciting!

Helmet redesign;
Changed trouser color for a better match;
Belt redesign and area above it, so that I could have the minor detail of the trousers, this change required a complet interior redesign;

Many years ago I bought a trouser suit as separates - the bottoms were always fine, but the jacket never worked and was sold on. I still like the trousers and the other day tried them out with some heeled brogues and a beige pussy bow blouse.
The trousers do fit and tie waists are back, but they do not flatter the rounder figure, so on their next outing I shall probably compensate by increasing my hips and wear a more interesting coloured top.
An Edwardian-era waistcoat & trouser set for men offered in 9 shades and a variety of stripes. The items are all mod and you are welcome to tint them for further customization.
A closer-fitting version of the trousers is included to wear under other vests, coats and jackets - they have been tested with some pieces from Contraption.
Fitted for Belleza Jake, Legacy M, and Signature Gianni.
Exclusively at We <3 Roleplay for the month of March!
So, I now own somewhere around 100 pairs of "textured trouser socks" made by Leggs wear hosiery. Why, you wonder? Well, only 100 or so pairs, because we've been trying like madmen to get rid of them, since it started out as 210 pairs!
A box of them from years ago that never went anywhere was found at a factory, and my dad ended up taking them home, thinking he could use them to hang plants in.
Nope, they're trouser socks, not going to work. Oh well, I now have a lifetime supply.
So there I was, snapping away, when a sense of unease came upon me. Something was wrong. There was a draught where there shouldn't have been one. Discreet investigations revealed a broken zipper. Two things came to my assistance; my wife's shopping bag covered my embarrassment, although she would no doubt claim that there was nothing much to see anyway. Also, nearby was a branch of BHS with a sale on in menswear. Sorted!
Oh, and the buses. This scene in St Albans is now no more, with Tiger Line's service T5 from Amersham to Hatfield ceasing two days later. It's ex-Ulsterbus Tiger is passing a new operator in town, Sullivan Buses working in from Welwyn Garden City between the peak periods (and thus utilizing otherwise idle school vehicles). This Volvo/Plaxton is ex-London United.

Italian painter and stage designer. His interest in art was encouraged by his father, the art historian Umberto Gnoli, and his mother, the painter and ceramicist Annie de Garon, but his only training consisted of lessons in drawing and printmaking from the Italian painter and printmaker Carlo Alberto Petrucci (b 1881). After holding his first one-man exhibition in 1950, he studied stage design briefly in 1952 at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome; he enjoyed immediate success in this field, for example designing a production of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It for the Old Vic Theatre in London in 1955. He then began to live part-time in New York, where he began to work as an illustrator for magazines such as Sports Illustrated. During this period he drew inspiration from earlier art, especially from master printers such as Jacques Callot and Hogarth, from whom he derived his taste for compositions enlivened by large numbers of figures stylized to the point of caricature. In other works he emphasized the patterns of textiles or walls, boldly succumbing to the seduction of manual dexterity and fantasy in a style that was completely out of step with the prevailing trends of the 1950s.
The trousered look is in.I just wish they'd lose the dratted collar.
Still, no such problem at the Minifig scale!
[A disclaimer: I took these photos as quickly as I could while on a flying visit at home. As such, I didn't have the chance to wait for a day with decent light. I did my best with lamps and Photo-shopping, but the quality is lower than I'd have liked. Sorry for the inconvenience and I will retake them when I get a chance!]
