I enjoy that you misspelled "endowment" right before touting your intellect.

A typo is hardly the same as a misspelling. Glad to entertain though

Very true. It was meant only in jest.

Auction 12: Abasi Rosborough Felted Wool coat. courtesy of No Man Walks Alone.

Get in on the first auction of 2022.

For the 12th auction of this year’s charity event, @gdlux of Man Walks Alone features one of the best designers in New York, Abasi Rosborough.

We have today something that is timely for this cold snap, an ARC Phantom Parka in black speckled heavyweight double-faced wool:

ARC Phantom Parka in black speckled heavyweight double-faced wool

An all-new take on the Phantom Parka, when we saw this deadstock wool we knew exactly what it had to be used for. Putting the soft face on the inside leads to a comfortable jacket, while the speckled outer is the armor that this style is deserving of.

nomanwalksalone.com

This is "an all-new take on the Phantom Parka" made from deadstock wool with a soft face on the inside and and a windblocking, armored, speckled outer.

The coat is $1385, I will start the bidding at $700, and please bid in increments of no lower than $150.

Let's make this one count big for the ALS Association. Let's make @gdl203 and @cyc wid it proud.

This auction ends Tuesday, January 4, 2022 at 12:00 PM PST or 10 minutes after the last bid, whichever comes later.

ALS: 2021 in review

Throughout 2021, the ALS Association continued to work tirelessly to bring AMX0035, a promising new drug shown to extend life and slow disease progression, to people living with ALS. And they’ve never been closer. Amylyx recently filed a New Drug Application with the FDA for approval of AMX0035.

That’s just one illustration of the robust ALS drug development pipeline. Other promising developments in 2021 from research the Association supported includes:

• Identifying the first compound (NU-9) that eliminates the ongoing degeneration of diseased upper motor neurons, a key contributor to ALS.
• The announcement by Ionis Pharmaceuticals of FUSION, of a Phase 3 clinical trial of ION363 (also known as jacifusen), a novel antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for ALS patients with a mutation in the fused in sarcoma (FUS) gene

Read more about the year in review here.

Cheers,

Fok.

Beautiful coat. It's worth noting that Abasi Rosborough officially ceased operations in the past year, so this one is even more of a collector's piece.

Oh yeah.... damn, I forgot about that. I have one piece that I really like - a shadow plaid vest, that I need to take in for a repair.

Come on people, this is worth more than $850, especially to the ALS Association...
