Art of Rigging"Few, today, can realize how important was the art of rigging a ship and reeving her gear in the days just old when all aloft was wood and hemp; or how great the part it has played in the building of Empire." Introduction. Although mastery of the art of rigging is no longer required on board today's ships, legions of serious model ship builders who wish to rig their ships correctly need to learn the art in miniature.

"Few, today, can realize how important was the art of rigging a ship and reeving her gear in the days just old when all aloft was wood and hemp; or how great the part it has played in the building of Empire." -- Introduction.Although mastery of the art of rigging is no longer required on board today's ships, legions of serious model ship builders who wish to rig their ships correctly need to learn the art in miniature. This book is widely considered the best manual ever produced on rigging the sailing ship. It is based on the extensively revised and updated 1848 edition prepared by Captain George Biddlecombe, a Master in the Royal Navy and former merchant seaman. The book is divided into five parts:
The First Part contains an alphabetical explanation of terms and phrases used in rigging. The Second Part consists of directions for the performance of operations incidental to rigging and preparing it on shore, with a table of the comparative strength of chain and rope. The Third Part contains the progressive method of rigging ships. The Fourth Part contains a description of reeving the running rigging and bending the sails in addition to the rigging of brigs, yachts, and small vessels. The Fifth Part comprises tables of the quantities and dimensions of the standing and running rigging of ships, brigs, fore-and-aft schooners, and cutters, with the species, size, and number of blocks, hearts, dead-eyes, etc.
Serious modelists, naval historians, armchair skippers -- any sailing buff -- will want to own a copy of The Art of Rigging. Complete and wonderfully clear, it is now available in its first inexpensive paperback edition. It belongs in every maritime library.

Excellent quality and a perfect fit. I’m very satisfied with this purchase.
Size: Small, Color: Brown, Size: Small, Color: Brown
This trench coat exceeded my expectations. I ordered a size Small and it fits exactly how I wanted—comfortable, elegant, and very flattering. The material feels high-quality and the stitching is well done.
What impressed me the most is that, compared to other stores where the prices are much higher, this one offers amazing value for the quality you get. I’ve worn it for special occasions and it looks classy without being too heavy.
I honestly have no complaints. If you’re looking for a stylish and affordable trench coat, I recommend this 100%.

Great but poorly packaged.
Size: Large, Color: Brown
Love the coat. Just what I was hoping for good fit. Color was right. The packaging on the other hand was terrible. I hope the wrinkles come out with steam.

A Coat That Doubles as a Physics Experiment
The coat looks fine, but trying it on felt like stepping into a physics experiment. The 100% polyester fabric generated so much static electricity that I honestly felt like a walking electrical generator. If you enjoy shocking yourself and everything around you, this is the coat for you. Otherwise… be prepared.
