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 an hour to be posting this ma'am !
am back up rather than still up with cramp here but have been reading eglantine_br ;) and talking Thomas Hardy

this is your usual standard and a most absorbing topic - himself is reading it with interest just now

sleep well - listen to Schuberts Dioskuren as a lullaby :)

have a new sleeping Horatio to inveil soon to go with sleeping Archie but it is not quite reasy yet.
Cramp going off now and Nodbear back to bed

[anteros_lmc]

I know. Too late ;) Sleep well, hope cramps abate. Proper response tomorrow / later today.

[nodbear]

Sleeping Archie always helps - as you say more on related matters later ..

*applause* Such labors you suffer under for all our sakes. I now feel safe taking the boys breeches off without risking egregious anachronism.

It's a hard life *sigh*

Well heaven forbid that Archie should open Horatio's breeches and find an egregious anachronism! ;)

[lemurling]

Considering the number of fic in which the boys appear to be missing their foreskins, it wouldn't be the first time. But I shall try to do better by them.

[anteros_lmc]

Eep! Anatomically correct fanfic, that really is taking period authenticity seriously ;P

[eglantine_br]

More applause...Two images in my head. Bush, evaporating. And Archie's assets wrapped in silk. Thank you for your arduous research.

[anteros_lmc]

Thank you for your arduous research.
You're welcome. It's terribly hard work you know. I think I might need a wee recuperative lie down with a nice lieutenant.

And Archie's assets wrapped in silk.
Or Archie's assets wrapped in Horatio ;P

[anteros_lmc]

Who´s to say we don´t care for the serious historical matters!
Exactly!!

ow THIS time there is no way one could misinterpret this as drooling over some pretty boys in nothing but their... oh.
What? WHAT?! ;)

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.*g

[esteven]

There you are!
*waves*

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

*sniggers*
