I don't know much about the OCBD but that is a sale item. I would wait for a promotion. http://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_p...=1267914810389 I'm gonna kop this when a promotion hits. I should have gotten it back in Dec when retail stores were selling it for less than $30!

but has there ever been a consensus on the difference between the clarks db and the macalister db? for some reason the macalister appeals to me more

I like the Macalisters more but I have never tried on the Clarks. I bought the Desert Cougar and they are very comfortable.

Size down. I'm a large in the Gitman OCBD. A medium in the J. Crew provides a similar fit.

Went to the store today and decided to order the red chambray over the phone. Didn't pick up anything else.

 

[chenzhongbi]

I thought you already owned a red chambray.

Nope. Have been on the fence about the red but finally "felt" it today. Will report reaction when I receive it.

 

[shadrach]

[Robert]

He did.

He did. Robert is a liar.

EDIT: I also believe he owes me a dinner of some smelly sneakers too, now.

btw, took another look at the cadet jacket and still ddn't like it.

I have those in the purple and blue and like them much.nice feel and thinner than the other heavier one they had. I'd recommend it for the price.

I'm thinkin about picking up the white ones for a good clean look. cant beat 50 bucks.

i do! i really like the blue and the orange, allow i cant make up my mind if i would rather get the shorts in those colors instead.

also, can anyone comment on if the british khaki color is much different than the khaki in the broken in chinos? it looks slightly more golden or like it has a honey-ish vibe to it to me.

also, just to throw in my 2 cents on the main discussion these days, i am not a fan of the cadet jacket really.

i have the fatigue jacket from the fall and like the fit and details, such as the dif. pocket designs and optional hood, much better.
