Walking in high cotton

Post by rockmastermike » Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:00 pm

Recv'd two Cali Saddle Leather straps from Drew today....one in 22 and the other in 20.

If the 3 Wisemen were really wise they would have left their gold, frankincense and myrrh behind and brought Drew Straps as proper gifts.

Notice how the keepers are more narrow on the 20? That's attention to detail...anyone could have slapped on the same size keepers to save time but Drew kept in porportion. Also note how the 20 is slightly thinner than the 22....again, attention to detail.

As we say down here in God's country, I am walking in high cotton over these straps.

Wiki:

Etymology
The term "high cotton" or "tall cotton"[1] originates from the rural farming community in the antebellum (pre-Civil War) when "high cotton" meant that the crops were good and the prices, were, too. The term has generalized to mean one is doing well or is successful.

Noun
high cotton ‎(uncountable)

(US, slang, idiomatic) the best of times; a time of well being.
We're in high cotton now.
You're in high cotton

Usage notes
Southern US.
