Jesus, Joe
How much do you sweat?
Let me put it to you this way… at my home in the summer, everybody wears life jackets when in my company, including the dog. 
Y’know, although I favor the uncovered look myself, the above addresses a reversal of an idea I’ve been considering (although it may be over the top): a sheepskin of the shaggy -not curly- type, wool side out. Pastoral, no?
Or perverted …

Ah, sure, 'twas when me love died I couldn’t bear to part with her, so now this is the way I can still give her a squeeze.
I´m sorry for the delay but it took that long for Karl Lagerfeld´s answer (a fashion czar like Chanel or Fiorucci). Besides, he isn´t so much into piping any more since his first in line piper Claudia Schiffer has retired and has a child now (and as far as I know after much longer than a year still is married).
Anyway, here are his recommendations now:
-
a dark tweed cover for the monthly tv-concert
-
as mentioned a fur-cover (preferably Zobel) for colder areas
-
for outdoor events this year´s trend will be a Safari-look - as said Zebra or Leopard (genuine of course - no fakes allowed), Khaki or just the plain Crocodile-leather-bag
-
for leasure time events (practising, barbeque) by no means just a jeans-cover (hip pipes don´t wear blue jeans)
-
of course black for funeral and white for weddings
-
the piper doesn´t have to wear gloves all the time and dessous (of course under the bag cover!) are not necessary
-
do by no means busk cause your sight may be offending to certain passers-by - no matter what posh bag cover your set wears
fashionable greetings,
Hans
Brainy Monkeys have invaded my flies… :roll:
Oo-er! Does that feeble attempt at humour work in Americanese? Zipper wouldn’t work near so well…

So, you like Paisley eh? I’m not sure that would look so great as a bag cover.
The first tune you should play once you’ve made a bag cover out of your girlfriend should be “My Darling Asheep”.

My Darling a Sheep? You dirty skite! Oh, asleep. OK.
And I’ve looked all through O’Neill’s and I can’t find anything with both “blow” and “job” in the title so I can’t suggest a second tune! :roll:
I’m too busy composing the ‘Smack My Bitch Up Polka’ to do it myself, so over to youse guys.

That’s a prison tune, right?
Maybe, Joe, but if it was a prison tune it’d be a Hornpipe surely?
