+1. Great book.


I haven't read Gibson in years. I used to read a fair bit of sci-fi but got bored with it, although I picked up 'The Windup Girl' (Bacigalupi) a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Must look out for some other recent authors.

our legacy melton wool blazer. tried this on at steven alan a few years ago and really liked it. decided against it, but I've kind of regretted it since. "the one that got away concept." really really cheap, but I don't really need it and I'm not entirely sure if it fits my aesthetic "direction" not that I could even really articulate what that is at this point. as if i really need more navy outerwear. or another blazer. and i've been kind of wanting to get another pair of boots instead, so i don't know what to do. it's cool though, and I could probably get a good amount of wear out of it in the winter months.



Just a heads up I ordered 3 different sizes and all were size 50, pretty sure they didn't change it and this one seemed to fit TTS, 50 was too big for me

Hendrix take that Ervell knit out of your sig I keep looking at the price and wanting it and being disappointed when it's sold and then forgetting all about it and doing it again

This has happened like 5 times now.
Solution: talk to M. LeWho about his Ervell sweater that may or may not wind up for sale. :nodding:

I got the Shield Jacket a few weeks back, didn't end up working for me because of the length, but I really liked the melton wool liner material and this looks similar.

:puzzled:

Does this mean that three different sizes all fit like a size 50?

What does this mean.

The sleeves on my only OL blazer were way too long; no biggie, since they're meant to be rolled, but I'm pretty hesitant about their wool offerings.

Is Dana Lee just insanely high quality or something? I mean, you've got like, marled Old Navy tees for $11, a JCrew version for around $50, then...stratospheric items that just sort of all look the same to me.

Not sure, actually. J Crew stuff always fits me terribly, and I would assume that Old Navy wouldn't be much better.
