Trouser Semaphore

The skill known as Trouser Semaphore is swiftly gaining currency as the only way for people of quality to communicate in an age of rapidly escalating background noise levels. Typically, at the race track or at unexpectedly rumbustious parties, attempts to make oneself heard above the general hubbub can prove exasperating and, as often as not, utterly futile. Within the space of a week, and with minimal amount of application, it is possible to gain a skill of incalculable worth. Across the floor of a crowded cocktail gathering, you too would be able to convey your inner most thoughts and deepest needs to like minded individuals, using nothing more than flexibility of your physique and the rough pliability of one’s trouser cloth. Surely, there is no sight more moving than a man and three square yards of carefully tailored cavalry twill moving in perfect harmony.

After years of practice and much patience, the carefully orchestrated movements can transcend mere practicality and approach a level bordering on art. But no matter to which level you yourself wish to pursue the practice of Trouser Semaphore, on a day to day practical level, you will find it an invaluable communication aid for use socially, in business and for pleasure.
