His lucent top-hat, his dark frock-coat, indeed every detail, from the pearl pin in the black satin cravat to the lavender spats over the varnished shoes, spoke of the meticulous care in dress for which he was famous.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Adventure of the Illustrious Client,“ 1924. The hat was lucent, from the Latin for “to shine,” because they were made of pressed beaver felt in a glossy finish. Although men’s daytime formal clothing became very dark in the early 19th Century and has stayed that way, notice the bits of shine and color that were allowed. This made details even more important as otherwise, men often looked so much alike. Both men and women were spats, a kind of gaiter over the top of a shoe, from a word that is even more fun, spatterdash--i.e. meant to keep spatters of mud off the shoes.

So I saw that a lot of people were making these, and wanted to try making one of my own.

He’s acting like he’s the one who put the cup on top of the centipede and not the one who ran away from it. Did the vet take even the very spirit of your balls when they took your balls?
