Aeglus where did you get the vicose Tee's ? Korean vendor or real brand

Yup, it's legal, at least in the US. The law specifies that US banknotes are legal tender for all debts, but does not require people to accept currency as payment for goods/services. http://www.snopes.com/business/money/pennies.asp edit for some recent purchases: picked up grey CP Achilles, W+H west point chino shorts, and TOJ varsity

This raining technique would work well also:

I work a block from there and haven't been down since the new stuff arrived. Need to drop in there during lunch.

Looks like you had a good trip to the PNW. Let me know when you are in town next, we should grab a drink. I saw that you were coming to town but I was away in Bay Area and am now on Whidbey Island, otherwise I would have pm'ed.

Pretty sure I saw that trench somewhere else, saved it for my custom project in the ideas section. Really like it.

Can someone please tell me what that trench is? I'm going crazy as I know that I've seen it but can't remember where.

With Macys, it varies by location, some carry some high-end luxury brands but nothing like MMM or Lanvin.

Federated owns both Bloomingdales and Macy's, and decided to differentiate them this way. Bloomingdales has always had a higher end reputation, so it go the luxury and designer brands.

Jack Straw Filaments is the best store for designer stuff in the Seattle area.
