@FlavourFade ha! It’s sort of know as the department store in the US most famous for crazy customer service. Free alterations, unquestioned returns beyond their stated policy, bending over backwards for customers… you just pay for it up front with crazy priced goods.
-
@Go-For-Chill Are you sure you're not thinking of Nordstrom? I never had good service when I shopped at Neiman Marcus decades ago.
-
Ended up sleeping through the drop. Decided that I already bought three shirts since Redline Rally started that I have wait another 301 days before I can wear them. And adding a fourth to that pile would not do. Maybe next time. I'll put the money "saved" (rationalizing already
) towards a nice pair of boots I think -
That used to be Nordstrom, I’m not sure if they’re still the same now. I used to shop there a lot 20-25 years ago with my ex-wife and there was absolutely nothing they wouldn’t take back.
Not a fan of Neiman Marcus, never gotten so much attitude from people selling ties and generally awful men’s clothing.

@Denimhead-0 thank you
The first album that came to mind.
If wasn’t in an underground parking lot on the way to dinner I may have snagged one but it’s fine
. Eventually I’ll buy something Ship John. -
-
@Denimhead-0 Great album. Probably their best.

I would have thought Wish you were here would have been the obvious choice
All three mentioned, the Wall as well. If doing psychedelics, Ummagumma
-
@Denimhead-0 Meddle is short but also so good. PF was amazing right up until after The Wall.

Pink Floyd are all time.
I love Obscured by Clouds and a soundtrack they did called More. -
I saw Pink Floyd during the early days,Pier at The Gates Of Dawn/Saucer Full of Secrets/Ummagumma tours.They would take over the Fillmore East for a night and bring in all their own sound,lights and light show. It was always during the week so as not to interfere with the regular Fillmore schedule. Was never sold out. The shows were off the charts incredible. Always closing with Interstellar Overdrive. It was also always on a school night so I had to pretty much behave. Be Careful With That Axe Eugene,and See Emily Play are two of my favorites.

@FlavourFade happened to me all three releases of the Kristofferson🫣
Unfortunately part of the SJ game, too few products for too many potential excited customers. The reality for small companies with limited resources. Still makes one of the best stuff, that’s why they are so popular.
And I’m still as excited and hoping for the fourth release🥰🫶

@mecken88 I know it's not their fault it's just me with zero patience and all that fomo
it's gonna happen one day 
-
@northsouthdenimguy Yeah. That's what I figured. I remember a story of Nordstrom taking back car tires from an old lady that insisted she bought them there. lol.
I shopped there in the late 90s a few times, but then found the good stuff. -
@nixage I work in retail and we take sometimes items back from other stores to not get too many complaints... Because the worst thing that could happen is that customers tell their family and friends how badly they were treated even if they wrong from the beginning. If a customer calls and complaints with our customer service we even have to make statements to the sales management... Even if it's just an item that were unavailable. And we are not a high end fashion retailer were customers spend thousands of dollars

They look very nice.
Do these also fly out as quickly as SJ’s shirts and jackets? -

@northsouthdenimguy here is a fit pic. Looking at photos and given my wife's feedback I think the shirt looks fine as is (again a bit long) but I can also still fit it over a Samurai Sashiko work shirt (which I'm wearing today). But I wouldn't typically wear this kind of shirt over one of those. I prefer a tee.
I decided to try and shrink it but my washer wouldn't fill up enough to fully saturate the shirt for some reason so I pivoted and put it in very hot water in the tub. Modest improvement in some measurements while others stayed the same but overall it tightened the feel of the fit enough for my satisfaction although it looks mostly the same. I didn't put in the dryer because I'm a coward.
Btw I think this shirt would be absolutely amazing with hand warmer pockets like a CPO.
