I ordered an item from Portugal but USPS is not letting me track it basically stating "USPS Tracking
00ae.png
is unavailable for this product for PORTUGAL"

Shot in the dark here, but is there any way to track this item?

how'd they ship? Portuguese post (CTT) tracking is terrible until it leaves the country, after i've always been able to track it with the USPS tracker

Ha yes "CTT Expresso" Its been marked as "international dispatch" for a week now and usually I would be able to see it on usps by now. Just says tracking from Portugal not available, very weird

It looks like I'm just going to have to suck it up and get rich; right now it's a terrible choice between looking better naked or hanging onto my painstakingly-acquired jawnz.

J Crew–owned Madewell has been doing this for a while. J Crew is sold through Mr Porter too right? I wonder if it it's a productive strategy. Seems like most malls with a Nordstrom already have a J Crew anyway.


This could actually be pretty neat if they carried the stuff that is typically only available via the catalog (Barbour coats, alden boots) instead of the slog of crap you find in your average mall location.

Cmon, the crap stuff is what they want to sell more of, not the prestige collab stuff used to boost the brand's profile.

Frankly, I'd be thrilled if they carried suiting and sweaters. J Crew around here is usually just chinos and BDs.

To be clear, I still wouldn't buy it (not that there's anything wrong with that), but at least it would make a trip to the mall slightly less depressing.

Can't believe Srulu
Decided I like this coat:



What is that coating on it?


Can't believe Sruli Recht killed Slimer and tanned his skin for this coat. When will he stop?

Is it really a puff piece ? Haven't read that one so I don't know how hagiographic it gets but their designer profiles in the past have been pretty ok.
