      And do what instead?  Seriously, I'm open to a better plan (though I suspect, it'll take some effort to change Haraki's mind)…..

      A number is unique and thus easy to determine what we are talking about, a description is open to (mis)interpretation....

      The other good thing about numbers is that it automatically sorts out a chronology.  Though I did screw up by calling the MC and TG westerns, the same numbers as the original 101 and 102's.....

        beats me, I only ask random most times annoying questions.

        I look at the numbers and it's a great indicator, but in 20 years am I really going to be looking out for IHSH 1253?

            I can't remember the numbers; in fact I've never even bothered to try.  I have to look them up every time I post, so I'd be screwed if anything ever happened to the Extinct section of the website.  It's a good system, though.

              I can recall the numbers of the goods I like or loathe.  In the early days I could recall them all like sport stats now my brain is mush & it doesn't work.

              So when are you sending my itinerary for going to the Works?

                Exactly right, ditto, i'm numerically dyslexic  😛 a roll call is out of the question…I've got two black ones, one green one, two etc etc.

                        Paula's not coming to America?  Well, then I'll be interested in knowing your itinerary, so I can plan a quick trip to Gosport on those days….

                            OK, so I go in May.  I hear Gosport is even lovelier in the summer.

                                Nope, we go straight from winter to summer. True story.

                                  Where I live?  No, not really.  The transition from "winter" to summer is pretty quick.  We're in late February and the highs are already pushing 80 (27C).  Another couple of weeks and we'll be solidly into summer heat.

                                  EDIT: Broark knows.  Austin's no better than Houston…

                                    At least we don't really get much humidity like you guys do.
                                    Last few days were in the mid 80's already, kind of crazy.

                                      Yeah, it's been a warm winter.  I hope that doesn't mean we've got a hot summer ahead of us.

                                        I know the logistics would be a nightmare, but a full on preorder option would be nice. The notification option is nice, but being able to put a deposit or pay in full once prices are set on a yet to be released item would be awesome.

                                          +1 on keeping the numbers - I love metrics and think I could Name 90% of the Shirts by number. Plus, it's nice to be able to tell the difference between a 72, 109 and 127 instead of saying it's a red buffalo check.

                                            But how do you cope with the sizing variations ? I am biased though, as I am to busy to bother with return postage in order get another size, I just make sure I am happy first time from the published sizing, once the item is live.
