:D heheheeee... good find.

as far as I know he's been wearing it since '04, he might have it as a luck charm. I don't think he's aware of such a code... at least I think that way...

I was at the concert in Rotterdam, Holland 03-30-09 :tu: On the platform I was sitting, I noticed a few gay couples! I can imagine they fancy James! :drool

And there was James!!! Flagging with his Bandana as big as a floor cloth! (i think it was lightgrey) :lol: :lol: :lol:

He would have scored that night! :P

So, please James get rid of the thing. We women want you for ourselves. :D :heart:

I don't know why he's wearing that. Some people at another forum said that James told it's because he needs to wipe his hands during the concert sometimes. I haven't seen him wiping his hands on that bandanna ever... and it's always very neatly folded, so I don't know...
But who cares... it looks damn hot and accentuates his gorgeous butt. :wink :horns2 :drool

Is the answer " 'cause it makes him sexier" satisfactory ?

I would put it under either "to draw attention to that ass of his" or "to clean his hands or his guitar"

I have see him wipe his hands on that a few times, so I think it's because of that.

Could someone explain me what a "hanky code" is..... :blush: ?

LOL, what wikipedia says:

Handkerchief code or hanky code (also known as bandana code and flagging) is a way of indicating, usually among gay male casual sex-seekers or BDSM practitioners in the leather subculture in the United States, Canada and Europe, whether they are a top or bottom, and what kind of sex they are seeking, by wearing cotton color-coded handkerchiefs (bandanas), usually in the back pocket. Hanky code was widely used in the 1970s as a gay code, however it is increasingly mainstream.[1]

Today the bandanas are worn almost exclusively in the rear trouser pocket, on the left side of the body for tops and on the right for bottoms, just as tops wear their keys on the left belt loop and bottoms on the right. In the past bandanas might be worn tied around the neck (with the knot positioned on either the left or right side); around the ankle (when wearing boots or when undressed); hung from the left or right side of the belt, or on other parts of the body.

There is no universally understood color code, and regional codes vary somewhat. There is general agreement upon the colors for more common practices, particularly those with an intuitive relation between the color and the practice, such as yellow for watersports; brown for scat; and black for SM, but no absolute consensus for less common practices.
The wearing of various colored bandanas around the neck was common in the mid- and late-nineteenth century among cowboys, steam railroad engineers, and miners in the Western United States. It is thought that the wearing of bandanas by gay men originated in San Francisco after the Gold Rush, when, because of a shortage of women, men dancing with each other in square dances developed a code wherein the man wearing the blue bandana took the male part in the square dance, and the man wearing the red bandana took the female part (these bandanas were usually worn around the arm or hanging from the belt or in the back pocket of one's jeans). [2] It is believed by some that the modern Hanky Code started in New York City in about 1970 when a journalist for the Village Voice joked that instead of simply wearing keys to indicate whether someone was a "top" or a "bottom", it would be more efficient to subtly announce their particular sexual focus by wearing different colored hankies.

I've seen him wiping his hands on his ass (sorry, that sounded awful... :P ). Maybe it was the bandanna then.
But I've never seen him taking it out of the pocket to wipe his hands on it.

I think its mostly because its just part of the hot rodder style. That'd be my guess. Plus to wipe his hands on.

Or, ya know, like Emerald said, he's probably in a gang...a gang called "The Sexy Beast Krew" :lol: :lol:
