Jon Crispin's Notebook

John R had quite a collection of interesting objects in his cases.  He certainly was interested in the wild west.

The green shirt has a classic western look and the tie with the scantily clad woman is pretty cool.  One wonders if he ever wore it, and if so, where.  The object in the middle of the photo is a jock strap.  I remember them from gym class when I was a kid, but you don’t see them around much anymore.

Back in the day, men sometimes wore garters with their socks.  This color gray is beautiful.

I am thinking that these leather straps went with some sort of jodhpur trousers, but I suppose they could have also been worn around the wrists.  Anyone out there have an idea about this?
