Thanks, Mike.

The pants I got from eBay. They're way too tight and I had to have the button moved over. But the fabric is great. Skin tight in the calves at first but they've loosened up a bit. I think they're a size 32 and they mean it when they say that. :)

@AlexanderTG Great fits man! Same question as Mike - where'd you cop those Attachments? Also how is the shipping with Up There, aren't they in AUS?

Thanks, m4,

I got them on eBay and almost returned them as they are definitely tight on me. But I kept them to encourage me to get down to a true 32.

Thanks for the kudos. Happy I gave up on stuff like Gucci, Prada and Armani--a direction that had whistled at me from around the corner. Dodged a bullet there. :)

It was a tough call. I liked the white patch detailing on the large they had (would have fit a little better in the chest) but I couldn't pass up the patchwork of the medium on the left side of the chest. Just too cool.

I won't really have much call to wear it buttoned as the lowest button is kind of more to the middle and it just looks weird(er).

But yeah, I'm happy. Thanks for the kudos.

Edit: and that sleeve with the stitch work has two little pockets worked into it. Crazy.

I can only imagine what it must be like in the workshop where they make them Just laughing at who made the crazier piece.

Looks good, I hope one will stick around until sale time. Also, inquired today about those sonic lab items. $540 for the hunting parka, $385 for the shawl collar, and $265 for the fatigues. I kind of want them.

Thanks, @Shingles.

Much appreciated. I was really worried about that jacket. But the fabric (and the way it's put together) has made it able to stretch a bit and fit well over an overshirt. I was really concerned I was only going to be able to wear it with a T.

Definitely nothing but good things to say about the folks at Up There Store. Cheers.
