You can drag fewer meters of Tip Top to Despos, so yes.

BTW, Vox, we are losing the vote. I assume that just makes drape more "exclusive" and "for the true connoseiur," correct? Whereas had we won, drape would have been the triumphal clear victor.

If you guys are serious about your cause, I mean.


You heard the man...just get a jacket two sizes too big.

Then you're done. Nothing more to it.

This reminds me - On Sunday, I discovered this fantastic shop in NY that sells really exceptional items at shockingly reasonable prices. Real artisan stuff, with intelligent design and beautiful execution. I wrote a nice post about them, then realized that I better not post about them without first hitting them up for free stuff or else designing some Dopey Limited Editions to sell for a little cut.

I already have this. But around here, stuff is either SF-approved or it's not. I don't want to come across as a small-timer amid the titans of drape.

Mobile iDrape pump....iDrape, where you need it, when you need it!



This, plus an inflatable pouch under each arm.


Or should we call it the "Portable Jiffy Drape"

I used that exact device two weeks ago to pump a Swiss ball up.

It's not something that most of you have seen, since it is used in exercise.
