is the English Leather applied to your anatomy or mine?

You figured out my true meaning!is the English Leather applied to your anatomy or mine?
Maybe hinting at Napoleon's famous (though maybe apocryphal) dispatch to Josephine,
'Ne te lave pas, j'arrive!' 'Don't wash, I'm on my way!'
The musty sensuality of the unwashed human body was apparently much better appreciated
in those days, and probably for much of history.
Either diaphoresis was not considered offensive or was an actual turn on. Either way, I consider hot showers and underarm deodorants to be the most sublime achievements of the human mind.

English leather is an American cologne that has nothing to do with England. And it doesn't really smell anything like leather.is the English Leather applied to your anatomy or mine?

Then of course there’s rich Corinthian leather,
the product of an ad agency in Omaha.

Do we understand that you are in the habit of applying a strap of English leather to the posterior of any convenient nubile female Mr P. P.?As a followup. Many of the city -bred folks here might not catch the association of goats with odor. Billy goats (male goats) spray their own urine on parts of their body (including their beards). Apparently, this attracts female goats. Females and wethers (castrated male goats), do not smell bad.
Therefore the expression (lit.) goat under arm indicates a very musky odor!!!
Note to members: This practice does not work on most human females - suggest you try "English Leather" instead.

You will see in today's vintage ad that Elliott White Springs, President of Springmaid, was not only an executive, but created all the material in the ads and an art lover and an author.This is what I noticed
which is well into WTF territory.
To quote Eul, "All my men wear (carry) English Leather, or they wear nothing at all!"The smell:

Whenever possible, though sadly, all to infrequently!Do we understand that you are in the habit of applying a strap of English leather to the posterior of any convenient nubile female Mr P. P.?

Today's ad highlighted a set of panties designed by Campus Girl, with a very fetching coed, barefoot with dress hiked a bit high, lounging on a set of Springmaid broadcloth, chlorophyll sheets.
"We put the "Broad" in broadcloth, and now the "Filly" in chlorophyll."
I see that lassie as more a filly than a broad.
And Elliott White Springs was a true "Renaissance Man!" He was an author -
Clothes Make the Man (available on amazon). In it he is quoting Erasmus “vestis virum facit” (Adagia 3.1.60), who in turn paraphrased Quintilian, “To dress within the formal limits and with an air gives men, as the Greek line testifies, authority.” (Institutions orat. 8 pr. 20), who in turn was referencing Homer.

Note the inset of "Blue Boy."

OK, two things.
"The Blue Baby."
noun
noun: blue baby; plural noun: blue babies
- a baby with a blue complexion from lack of oxygen in the blood due to a congenital defect of the heart or major blood vessels.
"blue baby syndrome"
And there’s nothing but women on the cover of Clothes Make the Man. What’s the deal with that?

Good for you mate. I too noticed the young Napoleon (old Bony to us Brits.)
The phrase 'manner(s) and clothing make(s) man' is recorded several times in 15th century English sources, prior to Erasmus -
expanding on William of Wykeham's motto still used by his foundations, Winchester School and New College Oxford,
'Manners makyth man'. In his time 'manners' could comprise way of living, moral qualities, social bearing, outward appearance,
not just polite behaviour.
The Blue Baby reminded me of something. American blogger James Lileks says unflattering things about the Campbell Kids
https://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/chuckwagon/index.html
before excoriating the recipes in their cookbook.
The only thing I can add is that they’re also compelling evidence that there is no God.

Continuing Springmaid's obsession with Fine Art:
"Mademoiselle Beaucoup DeRière, glamorous French cinema star says, "I'm not prone to argue, but I will rest my case on SPRINGMAID Sheets.
Candycale Sheets - Like taking candy from a babe.
Food Shop Special!

Some years ago I had the misfortune to be made aware of Art Frahm.
