All I know is I can tell you this for a fact.

If we both pulled up to the local "sav-a-trip", "gas&go", or whatever, and you had on your leather jacket and "biker" look, and I had on your basic rural america farmer duds, and we both were wearing clip knifes, or especially a small fixed blade, in most peoples eyes, you would be a "hood", and I would be a "farmer".

Thats not right, but thats the way it is.

 
Hell no I'm not a hoodlum! I'm a fine upstanding clean-cut peaceful American! With a 5 inch razor-sharp piece of steel in my pants. I'm not a biker but I would like to get a nice leather wrist sheath if I can find one. Maybe I'll receive my Hoodlum Gold Members card once I've added that to my wardrobe...?
 
Moving Target...if you had an e mail listed, your wish for a sleeve sheath might come true.

To be judged look at what I do - not what I look like too many years ago when I had hair and was really big my wife to be and I went out to dinner near the Catskills of New York - I don't know why or what was happening but in a very crowded restrant we got a window seat over looking the river at a table for six and two personal waiters.. as I paid the bill the manager said "Chow" and "bella noche" I'm not even close to Italian much less part of the mob - I'm a pastor! See the person - not the coverings
and let it go.

Mark, that was her way of showing displeasure at your attire. Seemingly innocent question that at the heart was mearly an insult.

You should have shown your annoiance by asking her if she was a prostitute.

Used to have slicked back hair that was in a pony tail down to my mid back, wear jeans, combat boots, a t-shirt and camo jacket. Carried around a multi-tool, and a delica. I would wip out the delica for one purpose or another. Bam! people around me shot me looks like I was about to slice them up. Embarassingly I got a sort of "make-over": Khakis, buttoned shirt, short hair. I can pull out an automatic, and responses are more or less one of initial suprise than shock/fear, and that turns to curiosity. Appearance is everything in society. I hated getting shot dirty looks and after a while the questions "You part of the Triad or a gang?" or "Wow, How many knife fights you been in?", start to loose their novelty (I admit it I would speak minimally, just to let their imaginations go wild

) and start getting just plain annoying.
 
Mark, imagine a guy wearing 2 knives (one open, one folder), a leather wristband, and a kukri pin. Well, that's me and I never get the hoodlum thing. I've had hoodlums laugh at me trying to act tough but that was awhile ago. Oh well.
