But it is still wrong. When you look at the two versions from a normal distance and at normal scale, the worsted version looks nicer and seems more interesting to me. The contrast in the pattern is helpful.


Eh. I've seen the Lesser in real life, too. I hear you on the more discernable contrast, but I don't see that as a plus. The mottled greyness of the Minnis is much more appealing to me than the black-and-whiteness of the Lesser. It's not an objective judgment, just a basis for my personal opinion.

Okay people, we have officially begun to recycle these. Can we turn our attention to something else now?
