Step 1

To begin, you will need two cream colored button down shirts, one bigger than the other. You will also need 6-8 black or dark brown leather belts. (try to use belts with thinner, smoother leather) Start with the larger shirt and with a seam ripper, remove the front pocket and all buttons and the collar.

Can I wear this in an waterway? For that is what a "Strait" is, now if anyone has instructions for an "Straight" jacket now that would be cool.

Actually... the spellings straightjacket and straight-jacket are erroneous, when in fact, "strait" means "tight" or "narrow".

A strait is a narrow, navigable channel of water that connects two larger navigable bodies of water. It most commonly refers to a channel of water that lies between two land masses.

"Straitjacket" is the correct spelling. Try looking the word up before correcting people.

Did I try correcting anyone? NUMM NUDZ

Yes, you did. In your very first comment in this chain, you attempted to correct threadbanger's (correct) spelling of "straitjacket." In your response to Singlefin's comment, you reinforced your correction in a pathetic attempt to back up your incorrect claim. You are now correcting me, even though I made a true statement, and you made two previous incorrect ones.

Try reading the comment chain before correcting people and lying about your actions.

actually, no, he didnt correct anyone, he's just making himself feel like he's "cool" by telling other people's mistakes, while, in his"coolness" making a whole bunch of his own i.e. not actually correcting anyone, but saying his own (dumb) opinion. which is wrogn by the way.

Very true. But the word "strait" has several meanings. "Tight" being one of them. That is the meaning invoked in this context.

Tango down! Excellent linguistic burn!

Ha! I made one of these when I was 10. I didn't tie up the arms because I was scared of the bigger kids in the neighborhood beating me up and taking my candy! Great to see it again!
