The oxide shirts were cleared out early in the going when Gilt seemingly ran Ervell sales every other week a few months back.

Was hoping for a green oxide shirt or some blazers, oh well
Yeah, if they'd had any wool blazers (anything non-cotton, really), I might've gone for that. Not a fan of cotton blazers. edit:
I don't have any speed problems but SW&D is so slowwww, nothing is happening :( Entertain me SF
+1. Pace has been really slow here since the upgrade. On the plus side, I'm pretty sure the lack of (non-noob) traffic made it easier for me to snag a WvG BD BD off of B&S for cheap. :nodding:

^^^^



:laugh: I thought what you said back then was hilarious, and it stuck in my head for some reason.


I fit in, it's just a little grotesque. :(

I still can't decide if the cut of those shirts is unflattering to most frames or if the majority of people are confusing the tightest fit with the best fit. Most fit pictures show signs of pulling, especially around the waist.

You say this as though these were two different things. :tinfoil:

That was my biggest problem with WvG shirts. They're solid, great fabric, buttons, and construction, but they pull way too much.

Ervell sale on gilt was terrible. Pricing was off on some items, and even the ones that were correctly on sale were poorly priced. I know somebodys gonna hop in and say "hrhrhr gilt is terrible" and it is, but usually Ervell sales enable me to snipe items at super low prices....


i don't know if I'd call it "terrible." Yeah there weren't any $99 blazers or $69 shirts or $39 pocket sweaters... but most of the prices were pretty fair. $130-ish for the pocket sweater is pretty decent. The shirts weren't that cheap, but still at least as good a price as any of the B&M/internet-shop stockists. Blazers were same price as they pretty much always are for those sales (with the exception of the $99 time).

If anything, previous Gilt sales prices were off.

It's not a winter outerwear thread per se, feel free to contribute some summery stuff and bump it up. I tried to revive it a while ago but I'm merely a three-man team, there's only so much I can do.
