Check out his package or the lack thereof.
93 cents works out to over five dollars in today’s money. Today is good day to buy . . . underwear.

Northwest Fabric's Sewing Basket, vol. 3, no. 11. France Publication, Sept. 1977.
For a close up of "The Sewing Bee," I've put it beneath the read-more line.
My favorite one is from Mrs. P. M. Fechter (Omaha, NE):
"[...] has a back saving tip. She uses magnets as fabric weights on the top of a chest freezer. No pins are needed which saves time and the freezer is a slightly higher surface which can save your back."
Trying to explain to people outside of the Midwest/Plains that it is sensible to have NOT ONLY a kitchen freezer, but a chest freezer + garage fridge is an alien task. Where else do you put this year's venison? It turns out this isn't a ubiquitous dilemma.

One Dress a Day Challenge
September: Bond Films
Live and Let Die / Roger Moore as James Bond
This navy blue double-breasted Chesterfield (or paletot) coat made by Cyril Castle represents the first fashion statement of the Roger Moore era. It's been called the most iconic coat of the whole film series. Possibly the coat and the conservative suit underneath were meant to make Bond seem a bit "un-hip" and stuffy-looking; but ironically, their restrained style has aged much better than the trendier clothes of other characters.
The coat is slightly shorter than a typical Chesterfield, making Moore's legs look longer. Some notable features include the peaked lapels, velvet collar, and turned-back "gauntlet" cuffs with a single button. (Photos of the actual coat come from this article found through the Wayback Machine.)
Other notable features of the outfit are the black gloves and the Royal Navy regimental tie. Moore leaned into dressing like a former naval officer more than any other Bond actor.
