Naval Knickers. Again. Properly this time...

[anteros_lmc]

I am slightly disappointed that none of you quite approved of Admiral James Saumarez line of swanky ethical knickers. Not practical for wearing under white breeches you sniffed.

As lemurling pointed out:

They certainly didn't wear a black pair of undies. They'd have shown through the first time a big wave came over the bow!So what did they wear? Never

What a very informative comment about undergarment terms. I will certainly bookmark it. :D Still, it supports the fact that Stephen is likely to wear drawers all day long, not bothering with his breeches.

From Post Captain:
They were looking after themselves, living with rigid economy; and there was no greater proof of their friendship than the way their harmony withstood their very grave differences in domestic behaviour. In Jack's opinion Stephen was little better than a slut: his papers, odd bits of dry, garlic'd bread, his razors and small-clothes lay on and about his private table in a miserable squalor; and from the appearance of the grizzled wig that was now acting as a tea-cosy for his milk-saucepan, it was clear that he had breakfasted on marmalade.

Purely in the name of research I watched the deleted scenes from MandC, and found that Jack's breeches were awfully clinging when he came out of the water after his swim. There is nothing that suggests underwear. Shame though there was no front shot of Mr Crowe...*sighs* What loss to research!

There you are!

Sophie's surely like Diana, putting drawers into their men's sea-chests. That doesn't mean they'll wear them.

*sniggers*

Hm...Most of the time Killick is powerless to make Stephen wear clean shirts unless there is a formal occasion, and when Jack really doesn't want to do something, Killick grumbles but lets it pass. ;D

*sends positive reading vibes* There are one or two questions on which you may be able to shed some light. :D

Now that again is such a nice plot bunny. Killick blackmailing Jack into wearing drawers by withholding coffee.

*apologises to anteros for taking over her journal with Aubrey/Maturin discussions*

[esteven]

Ah, I am the wrong person to write that. It is all yours, having been the one who brought up Jack's drawers, Killick's moral superiority and the coffee pot. Not I, then!

[esteven]

Sorry, cannot write!....as you well know.

[esteven]

Those were a mistake, made in all innocence, but a mistake nevertheless. ;D

No worries! Always happy to accommodate navyboy appreciation. Carry on! :D
