So about 6 months ago, I let Darci BORROW my IH sweat to lounge around in. Apparently she got tired of the oversized fit and hot washed the piss out of it to make it fit her 5'1 frame!
Honestly, I am laughing so hard I cant even be upset about it!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Snowy yeah it was there. Like 10 feet in the air. The whole street is no parking after 4 pm. And I'd have to go to court in LA to even fight it. So, I payed it online.

That's basically the same as telling you to buy another one, right?

Looks great on you @Anesthetist

I really hate carnivals.

That's less a carnival and more a freak show.

**After some to-ing and fro-ing including some telephone conversations, I agreed to send him some gear. Anyway, he stopped communicating with me, so I got in touch with InStyle's head office.
The response:**
Dear Giles,I am very shocked to hear about that. There is no InStyle Men in France, and there was never a plan to do so. This guy is just a liar and as I said, I am really shocked that somebody is using our brand to steal clothes.
I put our Parisian correspondence Inna Fischbuch in cc, that she is informed that someone is acting like that.I am very sorry to say, but as we have nothing to do with this request, we can not refund any clothes. But what we can do: publish your label (this time for sure!) in our upcoming issue (october issue).
For further questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Best, Kerstin
@Alex just found the bastard:

And sorry @Appfaff , the vest you wanted was one of the stolen items….

Jesus, im so sorry to hear about this. As a writer, and someone involved in print media, it's embarrassing that someone would use that title and "power" to steal and dupe honest business owners.
I can only imagine how pissed off you guys are.
And I'm more worried about you guys getting your stuff back or catching the crook than I am about the vest. although it does make me feel a little better knowing his arms are still probably cold as fuck right now.

Incredible the lengths some will go to. . . at least you all will be featured in the October 2017 issue.
Seul may be onto something with his suggestion on the way to address the issue.

This guy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, why would you not get some denim & shirts as well, risking your life you might as well go all the way
