Tomorrow, go into any clothes shop you choose and say to the assistant: “I’d like a loose jacket.”
First, you’ll notice the slightly confused look on his or her face. Then he/she will say “do you have any particular style of loose jacket in mind?”
Then you say “ well obviously I just mean a loose jacket. Surely you can immediately picture exactly what a loose jacket looks like. You should be able to go over to the racks, pick up a jacket and say ‘here you are sir, this is the kind of jacket you asked for.”
If you can’t see and understand the problem with the point that you’re making then I give up. Ask someone else. If you find someone that agrees with you I’ll proclaim you a genius.

‘Loose Jacket’ is not a style. Every single person on the planet understands this apart from you.

You have shifted your position - haven't you?
First you claimed that Lawende said the man wore a loose-fitting jacket, but now you say it was a loose jacket.
But then you imply that it makes no difference.
I will leave readers with two questions:
If Lawende was referring only to the way the jacket fitted the man, on account of its size or his build, why did he not say it was loose-fitting?
Is it just a coincidence that I can find so many illustrations of sailors with open jackets which obviously are designed not to be buttoned at the front, and that Lawende described the jacket as loose?

all this talk has made me wonder if the ripper didnt dress up a bit/ disguise/change his appearance on nights he was def out hunting? army ( tabram), Navy/sailor (double event) and toff (kelly)."Is all that we see or seem
but a dream within a dream?"

In that case, perhaps you are looking for a theatrical person like Israel Schwartz.
But don't tell Elamarna.
It might be difficult to have Schwartz identifying himself at the Seaside Home.

it doesn’t. Loose and loose fitting mean exactly the same thing!!

Its like explaining the rules of backgammon to a child! If I wear a coat and I describe it as ‘loose’ it means that it’s loose fitting. For Christ’s sake PI you’ll argue that black is white. Ask someone else! Any human being you choose. Anywhere. Every single one will tell you that you’re wrong. Get the message before we all end up in a padded cell.!!!!

ASK SOMEONE ELSE. FIND ME ONE SINGLE HUMAN BEING OUTSIDE OF A LUNATIC ASYLUM AND WHO ISN'T 4 YEARS OLD THAT AGREES WITH YOU. DONT ASK ME AGAIN UNTIL YOU CAN PRODUCE SOMEONE THAT BELIEVES THAT YOU ARE RIGHT ON THIS POINT.

No, not a coincidence. Entirely unconnected.

I think most people would agree with me that it should be possible to have an exchange of views without referring to padded cells or lunatic asylums.
I think they would also agree that the collection of illustrations of sailor jackets I have uploaded - whether you want to call them loose or loose-fitting - are evidence of a style of jacket which was popular among sailors.
That style of jacket was obviously not intended to be buttoned up and that meant that it was necessarily loose.
Lawende described the man as wearing a loose jacket and having the appearance of a sailor.
There is nothing farfetched about suggesting that the suspect wore a jacket of a similar style to those in the illustrations, and nothing to warrant mention of padded cells or lunatic asylums.

Produce someone that agrees with you on the point in question.
The Engineer Lieutenant who left the Wardroom after dinner did not immediately go on deck. He went first to his cabin, where he filled and lit a pipe, and changed his mess-jacket for a comfortable loose-fitting monkey jacket.
(Naval Occasions, and Some Traits of the Sailor-man, By Bartimeus)
The illustrations I uploaded are of sailors' monkey jackets.
I described them as loose.
Bartimeus described a loose-fitting monkey jacket.
Lawende described the jacket worn by a man with the appearance of a sailor as loose.
I suggest the term loose or loose-fitting refers to the jacket not being buttoned up - and therefore tight - at the front, and not to its being oversized.

very warm clothing will be required in passing the Cape ... a sailor's loose monkey jacket ... Sailors' jackets are very convenient on board, and a few of dark jean, made loose, will be found desirable.

More loose sailor's monkey jackets.

Of the latter type I can now add yours.
Absolutely jaw-droppingly poor. I can’t even bring myself to explain why this is nonsense. Please, someone tell him.Regards

Thanks for your reply, but merely saying that someone else's post is poor is not a substitute for reasoned argument.
I could say the same about your posts, but I don't.
