Ive been wanting a light blue BoO oxford forever...but cant find it at a decent price anywhere. So ive been given an offer of a light blue striped one... My closet has 3 BoO shirts already, all solids in Plum, White, and Dark Grey. Which one do you guys think?

I own the light blue OCBD and it's great, I love it. Better fitting than non-overdyes and looks great worn casually or even dressed up a little bit. I find that overall, it's more versatile.

Well, that's the last time I advertise my eBay "watched items" here. Someone pulled that baracuta out from under me with a Buy it Now. Bastard.

Barbour/Tokito Limited Edition--waxed trench coat

should I spring? supposed to be out in the fall and it will retail for about $850. Haven't seen any picture of the back yet; I'm hoping it's a plain back without any cowl, flap, or hood. On the one hand it seems insane, but on the other...I think I might regret if I let it pass. I would probably get many years of enjoyment out of it, wouldn't I?

Yeh, the buy now price was close to 40 bucks, which I wasn't willing to pay for this. It's only a Van Heusen, after all. It's more the principal of the thing, and that I was hoping to win a bid for around something like 20 bucks.
