There really are some good looking ones this season though. jcrew f/w >>>>> s/s

Me too... I really wanna grab that gunmetal gingham but when I bought my scholar tartan at retail it went on sale 2 weeks later.

Ehhh it's $59, who cares. Maybe it goes down to $30 bucks or so, maybe it sells out. The $25 or so in savings isn't a big deal. Now if I knew for an absolute fact that it would be say $30 in a month, than sure I'd wait. But it probably won't be, so bite the bullet and get it

I already did. I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL. But with the student discount it actually wasn't so bad. My final purchase for this fall will be a W+H flannel. Who needs college textbooks, right?

well i was planning on getting the scholar tartan, but when it went on sale it was only available in L and XL.

If you still have the item code, a lot of times it will pop back in stock. I was able to pick up some other cheap shirts with my gunmetal that weren't in stock a week ago.

The difference between $60 and $30 is huge for the unemployed student. $30 is a week's worth of food.

Normally I feel this way too, but two things this fall: 1) the s/s secret washes in my closet were starting to feel really old; and 2) they do look very good this fall, especially the tartans, i.e., I couldn't wait.

I figure when they go on sale I'll pick up some extra ones that I'm less intensely interested in, some of the plain colors. But I couldn't see myself getting into fall w/out something more interesting to wear.

what do you mean by really old? you're tired of them or they're wearing out?

Robert · Sep 17, 2009

Tired of them. Too spring/summerish, been there/done that-ish. They're still in great shape.

ToruOkada · Sep 17, 2009

**** you're right...now i feel tired of mine too.

Yep, I have the grey one and it rocks.....need to get it slimmed down though asap.

on a separate note, what is this!? lol

That, my friends, is an abortion.

Stylin-1 · Sep 17, 2009

Actually, if someone wants my grey flannel in a medium, I guess I'd sell it and just buy a small. I've only tried it on, but tags are off.

where the hell do you eat? I spend about 50 a week on food easily.

i felt guilty buying my webster tartan at retail with student discount knowing that it'll probably be on sale soon

Three meals a day of ramen is only $0.75.
