Is no one taking advantage of this nutsy sale? I picked up the brown suede double monks, a couple ties, and a dopp. Who makes that MiUSA type II 15oz Kuroki jacket?

Coming my way. I'll take more pics when it arrives. Manny kept me up to date with these. I did chainstitch runoff and you can see the hand pockets too. Killer shirt, I love it.

Since my wife is the best, she bought me a pair of Lucchese boots in burnished roughout for Christmas. Still not classics, but $500 boots will always make my pants tight.

I'd like to see them produce about 10 in common sizes in about four common fabrics and then see if they can sell them faster with no wait and pics of the actual product. Shirts are more forgiving on sizing and you have to undercut IH Japan now for me to even think about buying.

Ciano, raise your prices! I'll pay more and clearly other people will too based on your wait times. I want some chinos, but not at Easter. Nothing wrong with getting paid to do good work.

The gray silks are fantastic, I highly recommend them. The best part is how many different colors and styles of footwear they go with.

I drive a 2015 Ford Interceptor and man the new electric steering is horrible. We have had a few warranty replacements and they still suck. Clunking clicking numb overall horrible. I hate electric steering and the future of cars. Bring me back oh lord bring me back. Bah, the NSX and S2000 had excellent EPS years ago. The 991 is good, especially considering the longer wheelbase than the 997. The STI is brilliant, better than when it was hydro. I've had a couple of manual racks and prefer it to boosted, but EPS is just newer than HPS, not necessarily worse. Exactly, that EPS sucks because it's in a Ford Taurus, not because it's electric. The S2000 has EPS and anybody who doesn't like that is a complete philistine.

I'm loving the paddle shift auto in my RC-F. I'm a noob at driving a 470 hp car and don't need to be shifting while trying not to crash. It's also nice to dial back the drive mode and let it putter around in full auto in traffic. How are these cars? I've heard negative things from reviewers but they look nice. I know the base RC was grossly under powered. Are they actually fast? Also is the RC-F a true automatic or is it an automated manual? It's a torque converter auto but pretty damn quick on the shifts. 4.5 seconds 0-60, fast in my mind but my 1098 Duc would leave it for dead. I had an S2000 for a couple of years, but have never had a really powerful RWD manual sports car. Overall I'd say it's a great car for a combination of daily commute driving and occasional back road blasting. I've read all the same reviews proclaiming the M4 to be 10x better on the track and the bench racing magazine and blog enthusiasts are piling on. I'd say it's easy to live with, fast enough to make me smile, crazy luxurious and plenty of fun. I may never track it so I don't really care about track performance.

I received this in the mail today. The stripes are very narrow and it looks really good sewn up. It took awhile to fund and I think if they had a sewn up pic it would have sold through quicker. www.weargustin.com/store/2517I was just looking at this in the stock store and regretting not getting it. It looks a lot like some sugar cane fabrics I've been considering lately. I pulled the trigger on a stock store model, should be here tomorrow. I don't have a button down/dress shirt chambray so I'm really looking forward to it.

I had $250 worth of stuff I bought for my gf over the summer that I needed to return. Walked into the store, was greeted by the store manager and a new hire he was training. Was doing the return. Asked the manager about the 40% off a single item, and if there were exclusions. He said no exclusions. I mulled over the Peal and Co cordovan boots, but I wasn't going to spend $700 on a pair of boots, not baller enough. So I asked about the Alden Suede Boots, and he said okay. He pulled out a calculator, did some math, and handed $227 to his employee to ring me up for. She called up corporate, placed the order for $227 + tax, which came out to $240 and change. Ended up ahead ~$10 in the end, which is nice, because I didn't think they'd accept my return. It was past the 90 days by a week. So for the return, I basically copped Alden Suede Boots. Crossing my fingers they don't run out of stock or something, because it's slated to ship Monday. Haha, you mean the guy didn't know the difference between 40% off and 40% of the original price? Math, how does it work?! You should have picked up the shell boots, they would have been a steal at 60% off.

Amazing... Stopped by the Brooks Brothers store, and I was able to grab the Alden Suede Boots for $240. Wait, how did that work?

40% is in store, 25% with DECBC15 online. The trick is that the stores can get you anything BB sells at 40% off. really?! Can I get the shell cordovan boots for 40% off? It says "select shoe styles" as one of the very few exceptions along with their crap 346 suit line. It has worked for me in the past on RW boots, but I'm not 100% sure it will work on those sweet shell boots.

The Austin store will send any size they can get their hands on to your house for free. I did that last year when I bought my first pair of IRs. What coupon code do you have to use to get 40% off? 40% is in store, 25% with DECBC15 online. The trick is that the stores can get you anything BB sells at 40% off.

40% off a few RW options at Brooks Brothers this week. I'm thinking about the special edition black iron Rangers for $228. Good call. I don't think they stock 8EE in them at Brooks so I'm SOL.

Holy crap, this shirt is amazing! Incredibly heavy, well made, fits perfectly, love it. Really great shirts. I wore mine last night. Wore mine all day including on a 40 mile motorcycle ride since that's apparently the thing to do with IH. It's incredibly beefy, makes my gustin zim WS feel like a light chambray in comparison.

I recently just back my first pair a Chino. How do you guys care for these? I just got my first pair of Gustin jeans and love them. Which fabric did you order? In general just use the same sort of care as you do for the jeans, they're all cotton so not terribly delicate or anything like that, but hot water and drying will result in some shrinkage. The raw duck will behave differently than the twill, though, so it sort of depends which you've got on the way. I'm not sure the duck is raw, I have a couple in duck and they don't shrink at all with washing. My raw Ciano Farmer ducks shrank like crazy but I tumble dried those on low.

I cold wash by hand and hang dry, then iron. They don't shrink at all with this method and it keeps them looking good. I like them more than the jeans and wear them 4 days a week to work.
