      I like how it adds that beefy flavor to the mead.

          I was hoping you were correct, but I don’t think so.

          Livestock dehorning -Wikipedia (EDIT: Use link provided by Parody in their reply)

          Now I’m gonna feel like a heel when I drink from mine or trumpet with it (it has a screw-off tip/mouthpiece).

          Although I guess I was already a heel because I assumed it was “aftermarket” (from cattle killed for beef) and I also eat beef.

    I hope they have a “packet of crisps/chips” pocket on the other side.

    Those types of pants were popular when I was a kid. We called those little loops “comears” because we’d grab them and say “come here”

    There’s a really old movie about an eccentric woman who gets awestruck at one point when she spots a workman in overalls with a loop like this - typically used to carry a hammer. She breathlessly explains that “the loop” is the sign of a true master with in-depth knowledge and experience, almost like he’s part of a priesthood. I have no idea what movie it is. I can picture her face vividly but can’t come up with a name.

    I have these on a lot of my pants. They’re accessory loops for clipping gear onto with a carabiner. Helmets, gloves, climbing anchors, lights, etc. Stuff that doesn’t fit in a pocket but is used too frequently to keep stored in a pack.

    If they’ve entered the fashion world, I assume they’re just to give off the vibe that you’re an adventurer. Outdoor adventuring has certainly become trendy last few years. Kind of replaced everyone wearing fitness clothes for no particular reason.

        They’re called Hammer Pants, famously named after MC Hammer. He had a whole line of utility pants: hammers, parachutes.

        Ah, I can see that.

        Mine are usually a similar L-loop, standard C-loop, or flat nylon ribbon loops for having many clip points in a strip. But not exactly what’s In this pic. Usually they’re a bit higher to the waist or near the knee. The higher quality ones have the same synthetic guarding to stop wear from rubbing.

        And when they’re loaded, belt eyelets are next!

      This loop is 100% for holding a hammer. Hence why my BD and Stio pants don’t have one, but my Carhartts and Wranglers do.
