Absolutely. I don’t need super tight, just slim fit. Thanks for the recommendation; I didn’t realize SM had a slim option. Those are totally going on the shopping list!

Their contemporary isn't a traditional fit. It's a slimmer fit, but there is a slim option if you really want it slim.

They are on the SM website now and may not be by year end. Stuff goes quickly there.

Echoing this, I buy slim fit in just about every brand but usually buy contemporary in S&M's dress slacks (slim in their suits and sport coats). Gives you a little extra room in the thigh and seat and a slightly higher rise but they're definitely still a slimmer fit than most traditional cuts.

Definitely. I've been on the fence for about a month since the rise on their contemporary fit regular pants isn't quite as long as I'd like (11" instead of 11.5"-12.5"). I had eight pairs of pants in my cart. Three have sold out in the last week.

There was a 40% off 1 full price item code that was sent out to BB rewards members a few days ago. It isn’t a universal code, so I can’t help you on that one. However, if you have an account with them, your local BB store might could generate you a code and give you the discount over the phone or in person.

I have this in my hand currently. Just wanted to see if there was anything else out there. Thank you!

Had never heard of Wegman's, so had to google them. Looks like a nice, and large, store. We could use one here.

They’re like a slightly less pretentious Whole Foods. I like them, but the first one that opened up in my area was better in the first 2-3 years. It caused the other supermarkets in the area to up their game. But after a while Wegmans slacked off a bit.

I agree. I shop at a few places:

(1) Restaurant Depot - for when I need 50 lbs of chicken
(2) Costco - For bulk items not in (1)
(3) MOMs - semi-weekly items: berries, cucumbers, heavy cream, GF waffles--kids food
(4) Whole Foods - biweekly items: similar to MOMs, but bigger variety and some meats and fish
(5) Wegmanns - biweekly items: for when I don't go to whole foods

Happy Monday forum pals. Welcome to California and watch it burn.

I was worried west LA would smell like smoke today, but so far, the air is fine. That might change later this afternoon. I can leave work early if the office starts smelling like a chimney. Anyone coming from the Valley is pretty much f---- this morning.

Holy s---, look at all the road closures.

Great combo! I need some tweed in my life now.

Thanks! The tweed is actually a nice, medium brown. The phone camera is lightening them up quite a bit.

Fortunately, a manageable collection is undefined so using rationalization and variation provides shelter from these thoughts.

That is the most articulate way of saying, "I don't care if I have too many shoes," I have ever heard.

I also was never successful at using the selling - off technique to reduce totals.

Like the new avatar! Certainly appropriate to one of SF's more capable shell weasels!
