SF Abbreviations
While the site was down, I spent a little of the time putting this together. I figured it would help people get up to speed more quickly. Please feel free to add your own and/or make corrections/suggestions. Clothing specific terms as well as general Internet lingo abbrevs are welcome, though we might want to divide them up at some point if we get lots of general terms. We can also add this into the Wiki with links on each term at some point.
Code:
1B One-button [jacket/suit] 2B Two-button [jacket/suit] 2.5B or 2-1/2B "Two-and-a-half" button [jacket/suit] 3B Three-button [jacket/suit] 4x1 Four-button with one working [double-breasted jacket/suit] 4x2 Four-button with two working [double-breasted jacket/suit] 6x1 Six-button with one working [double-breasted jacket/suit] 6x2 Six-button with two working [double-breasted jacket/suit] AA/AAAC Ask Andy About Clothes [another clothing forum] AE Allen-Edmonds [shoes] A&F Abercrombie & Fitch AFAIK As far as I know/knew AFAICS As far as I can/could see AFAICT As far as I can/could tell AKA Also known as APC A.P.C.
