Actually, yes.  Name dropping the Italian mill doesn't do anything for the average consumer because they wouldn't know the mill if it hit 'em in the ass.  Again, if it says "made of Italian fibers" or fiber loomed in an Italian mill but says "made in China" on the tag then what do you think it means?

I'm done with this season and these barrage of sales. Going to spare my wallet for some Spring/Summer stuff now. Wish they'd have sales spread throughout the year instead of the daily December ones.

Anyone get the Buffalo Check or Black Watch overshirt(s) yet? Was thinking of getting the CPO/Buffalo Check shirt with the recent sale, but wanted to hear from others first...

Which one did you go with?  The 100% wool or the wool/cashmere?

Oh god, I want that coat.  So sick.  What size did you get?

Yeah, shouldn't be a big deal to raise the sleeves.

I highly recommend everyone to keep track of the price of the stuff they buy. With all these sales going on, I've found the price on two things I bought decreased. In this case you have two options:

1. Call them directly about a price adjustment (must be within 7 day window).

2. Just buy a new one and return the old one (if outside the 7 day window, but within the 30 day).

I've done this twice in the last couple of weeks and saved $70 so far.
