Yeah phone fades or whatever else in the front pocket are the reason I never keep anything in my front pockets, never thought the bags were too shallow but maybe because only my hands go in there. With the goal being making clothes specifically to function well when on a bike, it would be pretty silly to make a bunch of changes for those who aren't riding a bike. I mean I don't have a motorbike (I do day dream though) but I can appreciate that the clothes aren't designed with my specific needs in mind, nor should they be as my needs are different than everyone elses

@Alex I very much appreciate the delivery offer!! We are staying in Leicester Square so assume itll be super busy and annoying to go to, Showroom visit ties in perfectly, originally had planned to pop by anyway but we made some alternate plans my wife is now willing to adjust so the stars have aligned! After London we head to San Sebastian for two weeks so bucket hat is perfect sun protection

@Alex I had a thread going about a showroom visit so ill send it there and pick that thread up!

@Alex UK!

Wow I need this, anyone have creative ideas for a strategy here? Leaving Thursday morning for London, if I order Monday itll arrive Thursday afternoon

@Giles yeah, they are basically just preying on people who dont want to hit no tip, they have this giant ipad where you touch one of the three buttons or you hit no tip and they are standing there looking at you, I imagine the employees dont expect it or care but the whole setup is just uncomfortable and alot of people end up tipping.

The whole other crazy thing is that the preset tip options include the tax in the calculation, so your tipping on the sales tax as well, small amount but really adds up after years.

CBC has done alot of content about it but this is the most recent:

@Graeme its getting pretty out of hand in Canada, default tip option at the liquor store is 18%, 20% and 25%, everywhere from Subway to Starbucks to Bakeries have tip options here now and it's usually either 15, 20, 25 or even in some cases its 20, 25, 30.

Everyone says its because Square and Toast don't give the option to skip it, but I have had food where they use Square and they offer way lower tip options. I do wonder if you tip at a liquor store or whatever, where does that money go? It always feels to me they are just asking me "are you willing to pay more for what your buying?" when I see the option and received 0 assistance or anything.

Post soak it's fitting like a dream!

@Setanta awesome, I committed and soaked it, just partially drying now before I throw it on in the morning to set some creases!

I did have a UHF and tshirt under, which ill likely not have this buttoned if i have a flannel and tshirt under when actually wearing it, maybe just a warm soak not hot?
