Ordered the Coach Legacy Brief in Mahogany. Only 3 3/4" thick, but plenty for my ipad

Hoping the color looks like this:

It's even on the same item. I had to re-list it after the Japanese guy went silent. Now I've got a German guy who seems baffled that I won't ship to Germany for twenty bucks.

I had this on my ad:

Is that the bag? Sorry if this is rude, but that looks like a purse.

It should look like this (I think the picture he linked was in reference to color, because that's a purse, lol)

Lucas is correct.

Dave, it ended up being the bag you posted earlier, so you better like it

Ah, good. That's a nice looking briefcase.

The one I posted a link to and said I liked it better? That looked awesome on their website. I'd gladly carry that into a meeting.

Yea, you posted an unclear mobile link, but my last case was handles only and i think I ultimately prefer no strap.

The fitz has a slightly smaller shoulder to shoulder and chest circumference measurement compared to the regent
The regent comes with pants that are one inch smaller in the waist
Then there is the single vent vs. Double
I like both fits, depending on the suit and like dave mentioned, there aren't too many regent fit suits available in store
I have several regent fit jackets but no suits

I had to relist my phone multiple times because two winning bidders were from other countries and a US member never paid
Ebay does not care about the sellers anymore
You can't even leave a negative feedback and it doesn't mean anything anymore if people don't pay for items they bid on

This was supposed to be a joke--the "fix" would require Japan and Germany being added to the continental US.

on a whim, i ordered a pair of "lived in slim khakis" from Gap
they fit very nicely
not loose and not stupid skinny
just right for me
but dang ... when did the Gap get so expensive? these were still over $40 after 30% discount
$59.95 full price

looking on the website now ... they are on sale for $45 ... + 30% discount on top? i think i will have to price adjust or return and reorder

oh ... only certain colors are on sale
i think i might give one of the sale colors a try
http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=88066

do i go with the chimney red (aka GTH red pants?)
or the raw sienna?

raw sienna, chimney red looks more like that flamingo color that all the girls wear in the summer

but it's christmas time
i think i can get away with wearing it a few times and just use christmas as an excuse
maybe pair it with a green shirt or green tie

everyone's been telling me that i look like i lost weight
so i weighed myself
lost about 8-10 pounds since i stopped working out and got sick

i have this psychological thing now that ALL my casual shoes need to be alden, either cordovan or cxl only. and all my formal dress shoes need to be english only. i have problems. i've definitely spent close to $5,000 on shoes in 2012... Alden, i love you, but you're bringing me down.

do you want an intervention?

Just for perspective, go check out a few bags at twice and half the price level, to see how they compare. Then you'll probably get a better sense for whether the Bosca bag is a a good value.

Took your advice and did exactly that. The Bosca has a level of construction I'd put in the $750-$1,000+ range, IMO; the leather also has a great feel of quality to it. Overall, very pleased with the purchase and will make a great Channukah gift (especially at $341 OTD)
