The Diors are really cool but not at the price. Paying above $300 for a pair of Diors is stupid when they can be had for much less if you look and or wait long enough.

Are you only talking about the raws? Most of the waxed, distressed, and "tailored" jeans are hard to find for more than $200 or so off retail, which is quite high. Plus if you're a smaller size it become even harder (Barney's, Sak's, etc. only carry 28 and higher, up until recently Sz.26 was only available in Japan, and even now places like LvR only stock a few pieces in those sizes). And then the exchange rate isn't improving things, places from Europe/Japan where one used to be able to find a bit of a deal are now more expensive than US sources /rant Gotta say though, not a huge fan of the wash in question

I like it overall. I'm just tired of epaulets at this point, so I wouldn't buy it because of those.

Having said that, SW&D seems to hate BR so you won't get a lot of appreciation for them around here.

I was looking at that jacket today, I like the look a lot and if it fit well it would be nice. But keep in mind we are in March and depending on where you live you might not get but a month or so wear out of it. But if you like it, wait until this wednesday, BR is having a 40% off one regular priced item sale.

Wool, with a random wrinkled / bubble pattern. Same sweater in blue is here - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=160408365918 I like the black much better. Dude wants too much for it but I am contemplating making him an offer. I feel like it is interesting and yet conservative enough for me that it'll go with all my stuff.

The fabric itself looks beautiful, but I really dislike heavy knits with zippers. If that doesn't bother you though, kop
