It's amazing that 98% of medals in the Beijing Olympics were won by swimmers wearing these, but I guess it just goes to show that I know nothing about physics.

lol @ people wanting to buy these for jogging around their neighborhood

this same sentiment could be carried over to pretty much everything that goes on here. The reason people want those shoes is the same reason they want Lemaire and dries. It’s not the way in which it affects their lives it’s the way in which it makes them feel.

Paisley can work imo, if the colours are really loud there's always the risk of looking like Austin Powers though.

I wouldn’t see why it would matter. Unless you get stuck in a snowstorm and have to wear your jacket inside out and potentially offend your friends brooding father.

Only three colognes I’ll ever need:

TF Tobacco Vanille my all time #1
TF Oud Wood my most complimented
TF Tuscan Leather the one most likely to make others convulse/have allergic reactions

Btw woke up to 40 degrees today....Jesus..obligatory:

not really fashion, anyone ever bought kids stuff from jcrew? I stick mostly with muji/mini boden for basics, and Zara for "interesting" stuff. One thing I found issue with typical american brand (say RL/Gap/Old Navy) is the arm/leg are usually too long but also too slim at the same time, guess I just got a chubby kid... (though she is actually 50 percentile or maybe she is just really asian on the thigh front )?

My older kids did a fair amount of JCrew, Gap Kids, LLBean. My little ones are still in the miniboden & Polarn O. Pyret stage.

They are sorta in the same category as fun socks, I think. I saw a lot of them in the mid 2000s, when MTM started becoming popular, and guys started doing things just because they could.

Honestly, I find 40-55 to be about as comfortable as it gets. With a small heat lamp, 50 is about as great as it gets for sitting outside at night with just a tee and a jacket. Did this in Rome a few weeks ago, drinking Negronis. Basically only a few people around during low season. As good as it gets.

That’s the nice part, they always seem to be on sale. For my 12 year old we’ve never paid more then $12 for a JCrew shirt. Unfortunately with kids clothes, even in the same brand there is no size consistency. Trying to take a grade school kid clothes shopping to try stuff on is madness.

@Superb0bo
Thought you might get a kick out of this, I need 120 hours of field work this summer for my Master Gardener. I’m going to be working with Garden On The Hill.

Garden On The Hill, I’m gonna be a GOTH gardener!

mine is 3 years old, no way I'm going to the changing room, it's just going to take forever, so the true and tried, free shipping and return...

I always recommended buying used children's clothing since they will outgrow it so fast anyway. Also inexpensive, much better for the environment, and there is a huge amount available.
