Hmmm. Is that a box shape? Which view is the top?
― sweet tater, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:27 (sixteen years ago) link
I think the zipper is on the top.
I'm guessing you don't want to use leather or snakeskin, but these are nice.

I like that shape, for sure.
― sweet tater, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:29 (sixteen years ago) link
And the little medallion as a centerpiece is nice. That's the standard shape of a shaving kit, I think. Cordouroy sounds good.

I think I would maybe make some kind of patch with dad's initials on it or something.

Just a suggestion -- you might want to use a material that can stand a little moisture, since most dudes are not going to be too meticulous about drying stuff off before tossing it in the case. High leakage potential.

I call it a dop kit and I've had the same nasty plastic one for years.

Yeah I call it a dop kit also. Don't know what that means.

Do we have any other B0nde Do Role fans up in here?
― KitCat, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopp_kit
The name derives from early 20th century leather craftsman Charles Doppelt.
― Eazy, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:48 (sixteen years ago) link
i also call it a dopp kit
sarah i am not a fan (don't know them) but i think i'm going to the show on friday?
― river wolf, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:49 (sixteen years ago) link
I've never heard of dopp kits, either the name or the thing itself!
― jaymc, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:51 (sixteen years ago) link
From that Wikipedia page, they seem v. useful.

I used to have a black plastic toiletry bag emblazoned with the logo of my high school's production of Guys and Dolls, but it got kind of gross and I threw it out a few years ago.
― jaymc, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I use a vinyl one for my glasses and contact-lens case when traveling.
― Eazy, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link
It looked kind of like this, except with GUYS AND DOLLS in silver:

I've owned one for thirteen years, but never called it anything but a shaving kit. Never heard Dopp Kit before.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:56 (sixteen years ago) link
I only use mine when traveling as well.
― n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:58 (sixteen years ago) link
i always thought it was a Doc Kit, because mine looks like an ol timey doctors bag but i am an idiot, so.
also, n/a i was just horsing around in the lazy zing thread, i didn't mean you were being self-righteous, for reals, so sorry if i offended.

Goddamn, that lazy zing thread. It's a cancer.

^^love that one. It might have been the one that got Maddie hooked in KitH, I think.
― Jordan, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Mr. Que, it's cool, I know you were just joking around in the spirit of the thread. I was just using your quote to try (unsuccessfully) to deflect the criticism I knew was coming for me trying to steer the thread back on track. But whatever. I'm not reading that thread any more, or at least not today. Actually I was going to take an ILX break but decided to just stick to the Chicago thread.

One thing I love about that sketch is how obvious it is that it came out of improvisation.
― n/a, Thursday, 20 September 2007 16:15 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm a sucker for the sketches that are basically about Bruce McCullough being weird, like all the Gavin sketches.

I remember some KitH thing that was kind of an MTV parody, it was about a new dance or style or something...it was probably the most dated thing they ever did, but awesomely so.
