      Forgot about Arcteryx. Here in Minnesota It’s a mixed bag of brands that are represented. I mostly see TNF & Patagonia but I do see Arcteryx on occasion and Canada Goose which seems to be worn by affluent soccer moms.

        Do you own anything by Cotopaxi? I'm considering a vest or light down jacket from their sight because they're on sale but i'm unclear on their fits. Some of the reviews suggest sizing up but others don't. I actually found some Cotopaxi down jackets on clearance at REI and tried on a large, which fit well enough, but there were no xl's for me to compare sizing with. Customer support is taking longer than it should and I have yet to hear back on measurements, so I thought some anecdotal info might help. I'm also curious what you think of their overall quality.

          @gaseousclay I only know them by recommendation and while what I've seen in person appeared quality, have not owned them yet.

          Think it, be it.

                Phoenixing this thread in the hope of some solutions to a dilemma. I purchased the IHSH-234-BLK over the weekend and it is staying in Gosport while I consider snaps. It looks great as it is obviously but I had this idea it may be awesome with the pearl snaps for a bit of in-your-face contrast.

                @Steve has kindly and skilfully mocked it up in Photoshop, but I’ve been staring at it so long I’ve lost all sense of what I think.

                So is it a good idea. Pimp to pearl or leave as it is? Here is the mock up:

                    I concur!  It makes it look like work-shirt buttons from a distance.  It's a good contrast!

                        I have pearl snaps on my black corduroy and on my 33OD,and It really takes the shirt to another level. Really think you’ll like it. Don’t do it if you’re uncomfortable with all the compliments you’ll get.

                                  Ladies and gentlemen. Wow lots of feedback, greatly appreciated, thank you all. In addition, unanimous support for the pearl! Which I have decided not to go with  😉

                                  I agree with all of you, it will look brilliant. It will also make the shirt a bit more of a statement piece, which may prevent me from pulling it out of the cupboard on a Monday morning. Being a father of thousands with a house under renovation and the social life of a dark ages leper, it will be a long time until I get to rock contrasting pearl snaps in da club. So I'm saying no.

                                  The shirt can definitely be elevated a little however, so I'm going with a single GAH snap  😉

                                            I could have sworn there was a thread like this but neither Dennis nor I could find it.

                                            Of you know where it is let us know and he’ll merge topics.

                                            So… I’m in the market for some summer jeans and I’m having trouble deciding between indigo broken twill and od 14 oz. 888 will be the fit. Don’t have any jeans in either material. I’m leaning towards the broken twill because it’s something different and I may want a heavier od option later on. I don’t want the od broken twill because I’d want to really enjoy the weft detail and I feel it would get lost if overdyed.

                                            Let me know what you think. Don’t say both.
