You may recall that last week, when I showed you the blocking photos of Hypotoneuse, I told you I had a special photo shoot planned for the weekend. Never one to disappoint my readers, I traveled all the way to Gettysburg, PA, to have Dale pose with the new ManLace. Okay, well, we may have been going anyway for Remembrance Day, but still, I didn’t let you down.
These photos were all taken in front of the Michael Jacobs house on Middle Street. We had a special purpose in finding this house because Michael Jacobs was the great-great-I don’t know how many great-grandfather of my good friend Judy. He was a Professor at Gettysburg College and actually published the first account on the Battle of Gettysburg. He was also a recorder of weather conditions. All the information we have about the weather and temperature during the battle of Gettysburg comes from Professor Jacobs. Pretty slick, I think.
Speaking of slick, check out these photos of Dale wearing his ManLace.
ManLace with a Union Army uniform. A Captain, no less. It doesn’t get more manly than that.
Dale looks very handsome in his manlace.
Nothing like a man in uniform to show man lace to it’s best advantage. Really nice work Carolel.
ooh fancy manlace. he looks hot!
Manly, yes. But I like it, too.
That’s so cool that you went all the way down to Gettysburg.
FINALLY, a lace for men.
There is something about a man in uniform. The manlace really brings the whole thing together.
Can you believe I haven’t been there? Hypotenuese is fantastic and Dale wears it well. Perfect setting, thanks Carol for the pictures.
Wonderful. But where’s the sword??
Dale looks so handsome in his uniform. Your whole post with pictures is so well done. Nice manlace…fabulous Dale. 😉
Love the manlace, and the uniform is great too.
Perfect photo shoot of the manlace! The color is great on Dale.
The manlace looks fabulous with his uniform.
Dale is the perfect model – he strikes an uber-fabulous pose.
The scarf is great and looks perfect with his uniform.
Love the manlace. It looks great with his uniform.
Gettysburg is the perfect place to show this off! Gorgeous manlace, looks just right with the uniform.
Isn’t he dashing. There I go with that word again. He has set the standard for manlace 🙂
How appropriate. Made by the woman who loves him. Awwww. 🙂
Very handsome! Oh the manlace is nice too 🙂
Very nice, although in some of those pictures the manlace is looking kind of gray…. 😉
Wow. The manlace is really great — as is the man, or so I’ve heard. ; ) I love that bit of history about Judy and her granddad and the weather, too — I’m anxious to share that with my history buff nephews!
UMMMM, there is somthing about a man in Civil War garb that makes me wrongfully achey. (I just found pictures on the web of an ex who does ACWR, and *mrow* ~)
The man lace is stunning!
Good lord, a uniform AND man lace. Thank heaven’s that uniform is the ‘wrong’ color for a good Southern girl like me or I might say something foolish here. 🙂
Those pictures are SO GREAT!! And he looks so good in his man lace! He really does wear it well.
awesome. love those pics
oohhh be still my heart
How Awsome! Sorry we missed Remembrance Day this year! My BIL(‘s) were there!
Remind me to show you my map of the battle of Gettysburg sometime.
Thanks Carole. Great pictures and what a wonderful model. I can’t wait to forward these to my father. He will get a real kick out of seeing his great grandfathers house.
You gotta love a man in a uniform….Dale looks GREAT! That scarf is perfect for his uniform! I can’t wait to get some yarn to give one a try 🙂
Oh it looks WONDERFUL with his uniform. I love Gettysburg. I actually have family in Carlisle, PA, which has a lot of good Civil War stuff too!
Great pictures! I showed them to Bob, who said that he can’t wear man lace because he doesn’t have a uniform…………….maybe he needs one!
A man in uniform AND lace? Cool.
The manlace is nice. Although I will have to forgive him for being a Yankee 😉 Did you manage to stop in at Wool in the Woods while you were in Gettysburg? They are right up the road.
I’m so showing these to my hubby so he can see real men do wear lace! The photos, the lace, and the man are all so very nice.
Most excellent, the man and the lace.
Did I ever tell you about our family’s trip to Gettysburg? The kids were very excited, especially interested in Little Round Top and the Devil’s Den. After the second day, they were looking at souvenirs, when Eldest asked me if we’d had any family fight at Gettysburg. I allowed as how we did. “Yes, and we won,” he said.
“No … any family we had here were fighting for the Confederacy (North Carolina and Virginia).”
It was an important lesson in the brother-against-brother nature of the Civil War.
Great pictures, and what a great husband Dale is for posing so wonderfully for them. I’ll say it again–Jim needs to take lessons from him.
So, was the weather for the actual Battle of Gettysburg as horrifically steamy as it always seems to be for the reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg? Or is the modern day sauna just for the hapless reenactors?
Awesome, setting and manlace! Thanks for taking the time to shoot such great photos to share.
Very manly!
Very jealous you were in Gettysburg, too. Hope you had a wonderful time. I need to plan a trip there soon!
Very cool. The photoshoot is great and Dale looks wonderful in his scarf.
I love a blogger that goes above and beyond for a good photo! (You can claim you were “going anyway” but still!) The manlace looks fabulous with Dale’s uniform.
the mantown manlave is manly handsome – great work
Great job on the manlace, and nice photos to boot!
Very nice!
Vey cool indeed.
WOW! What a PERFECT way to show off your gorgeous knitting!
The man-lace is amusing me, more than I can say (the idea of it only, Dale pulls it off with much … manliness.) And too cool about Judy’s great-great-great…. ancestor-guy.
Great photos, he really does wear it well.
I’d buy a coffee table book full of pictures of Dale…
The man’s manliness in his ManLace is manifest. But what’s with the Napoleon look?
Doesn’t he look lovely? Dashing? Manly! That’s it. 😀
I’ll just have to repeat:
very handsome indeed. the scarf I mean… (or is it both!)
🙂
