Any good shops in Oklahoma City?

I've had some awful luck finding things here in OKC, aside from the Junior League's Remarkable Shop which closed last month.

I got a ton of Harris tweeds in that I will be making available at the end of summer. We just got rid of literally a truck load of Bijan suits. If any of you guys need something contact me and If I can't get it I'll try to steer you.

Are you still getting those Harris tweeds in cuz if so I think I might marry you. 

They're so hard to find here in OKC.  Well, that, or I'm awful and looking in all the wrong places. 

I'm a student here at OCU and would love to check your store out!

I'll be there tomorrow!

I had the same brilliant thought after I had drawn all of the names. I quickly looked at the list to see if fate had possibly matched them

I thought they possibly can't check their email at work, so I'd give them until tomorrow. They're regulars around here, so I could probably ask around enough people for their addresses if needed. It's also possible that they sent me their addresses and I missed it in all of the PMs I got. I'm digging through them now to check if it was my error.

Easy to just take each of the people that the no address people had....and then give that name to the person who had the no address named person

Person A has person B (no address person), person B has person C. Now just give person A, person C's name and you're set, unless person A = person C You're just taking out the middle man.

I checked the completed auctions after some advice here, but those seem to be for mostly unused patches.  I figure someone in Japan, given that this is a size 36 jacket, will be interested in the total package.  Heritage, fits well, americana.  I am going to put it on eBay as a buy it now or best offer and see what happens.
