Well for me and in general I think a lot of members utilized B&S way more in the past

It was 'cool' finding all these items and people even were in a PMing frenzy over the buyer in getting dibs

Now it is kind of like you browse, find maybe 1 or 2 things you like but still don't really pull the trigger for whatever reason.

I think the RFT and RP is more of a influence nowadays than B&S. For beginners though I think B&S is a treasure mind.

(Sounds like an RPG :lol:)

I guess I kind of agree with that, somehow the old B&S definitely felt more fast paced. Maybe browsing is too easy now? Less people are definitely using B&S though, that's for sure. Haha, your tastes are probably all too specific for the things that pop up there anyway.

Also for people who are interested in the hoodcoat, the M is really, really slim. It's a unisex coat so unless you're super azn thin (especially in the shoulders), you'll probably want to size up two or so sizes.

j/w but does the length change that much with sizing up? I imagine it would be too long on most Asians then lol

gettoasty...what are you talking bout?


Seriously. Most of SF buys stuff off B&S and always has, and what is this talk about "back when B&S was cool" ... you're definitely over-thinking things toasty

It's a little longer than mid-thigh on me (size m, 5'9"), but I'm not sure if the length changes as it goes up. I think it's fine if you're average height

Yeah, I'm pretty much ripping myself off on everything because I have no time to deal with the back and forth that usually goes on. Thanks for the free advertising guys ;)

Seriously, those prices (esp. on the hoodcoat and SS) are steals, would buy multiple pieces if I wasn't so penniless

toasty, you seem like a good guy, but your sprawling posts that carry a highly authoritative tone almost always skid off the road and turn into glorious, fiery spectacles.
