So what happens when you guys get clothes as gifts? Do you feel obligated to wear them even if they don't meet your style/standards?

[D97x7]

I always thought the rule was to wear it down the pub on the 26th and attempt to get something spilt on it, well that's what I do anyway.

I don't wear them. But no-one's crazy enough to give me clothes…

Same here. They all know better.

I'm pretty low maintenance, so I do, unless they're completely the wrong size

That being said, it's been a long time since I actually received a garish sweater

[DougNg]

I take that back, someone got me a New England Patriots sweatshirt one year as a gag gift that I sent back to them with a bunch of .40cal holes through it

Anyone interested in a pair of size 32x34 Levi's Commuter Khaki pants? I'm not going to be biking to work any more, so I don't need them. Let me know.

Can anyone help?

Where can I buy some navy woollen gloves; of quality similar to that of a Watch Cap?

tbh i thought about this one as well…don´t think i could make that one work though!

[madmonday]

i think it could work a number of ways . . . but i need to actually go check it out.

maybe if they are still around in 2012 i'll go take a look at them down at seny.

That Dry Bones sweater looks nice. It has just enough patterns without being too much. But like MadMonday says, would check it out in person to see the thickness and fit. Based on the model picture, it looks to be pretty fitted.

Has anyone dealt with History Preservation for Buzz Rickson stuff? The website makes me want to stab my eyes out and my social anxiety makes phone orders difficult.

[madmonday]

I tried to deal with them once, but their website pretty much had the same effect on me, and their shipping prices are ridiculous.

[madmonday]

see they are in nj so the shipping to me was no issue, shipping to the uk is an issue for many vendors stateside

Thanks for the pep talk. I'll call when they get back in the office next week.

All I want are the navy and olive watch caps. The quoted shipping on one is like $15. Hopefully they'll combine.

I bought one of the Stevenson silk watch caps and it just doesn't compare to my BR X William Gibson, so I really want to hunt down the other BRs… I'll do what it takes.
