I'm going to NY next week (and meeting up with Scott and Lane) so sure to be fit pics :)


cool, it seems kinda geeky but it'd be fun to actually meet some of you internet people.

To bad you all live in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the world. I mean, who the **** goes to New York?

Hm, not quite sure. I THINK it's not available yet, and is very limited. Not even 100% sure it's being produced. But it was fuckin cool
It's special order only, and only Maxfield got it in, and *maybe* one other store, either in NYC or in Asia somewhere. The rep told me this offhand when I asked her about it. iirc, the wholesale on that jacket was $2300K, which puts the retail somewhere around the $6K mark.

That's what I've always thought, too, but upon some further digging (Wikipedia and the USPS website), it appears that USPS will deliver EMS on Sunday.

One advantage of Express Mail is that USPS will deliver 365 days a year, including Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays at no additional charge to some locations.

Express Mail is the fastest mail service offered by the Postal Service. It provides guaranteed expedited service for any mailable matter. Express Mail delivery is offered 365 days a year in many locations. A small premium applies for Sunday or holiday delivery.

Not to be a total buzzkill, but I've never received EMS here on a Sunday. Assuming a Friday ship date, It usually comes pretty early on Monday for me.

Patience is a virtue and all that bullshit :D

****. I was actually expecting / hoping for ~$2500 retail which I was totally ready to swallow. 6k is just stupid money though

Then you're in a non-mainstream area. EMS is pretty much always overnight to any decent sized US city. It is considered 'overnight' mail in the USA, so a Friday package will reach most people on Saturday no problem.

The only EMS I've ever received on Sunday was international EMS though.

There is a special next level international EMS between certain countries, not sure if the USPS offers it, but it can deliver it - it's TNT EMS, though I've only ever used it once. It's more expensive obviously, and I think depending on other variables is as fast as EMS or just slightly faster, like 2 days around the world sometimes, whereas it can be 3 for regular EMS. This excludes USPS, who are incredibly slow and lazy in the flyover states, from my experience.
