I don't think that article is accurate. I bought a pair of these Boston's with a 20% off coupon for 89.20 including shipping.

I've had a butt experience with Cettire refunding me after they sent me some JMMs in beat-to-**** brand packaging that didn't match the model. It's been 3 weeks since I reported, almost two since the pair reached their warehouse, and they just told me they need at least another 7 business days.

I've bought a pair of Paraboots from/via them before and the experience was fine, but this sucks.

Looks like Virtusize just pushed an overhaul of their UI. Does anyone know how to locate item measurements now?

Noticed a guy dressed in a subdued but stylish way at a coffeeshop that I stopped at while out and about today. He looked a couple decades older than I am. His vibe was Japanese Americana and was cool to see someone in their 70s who had made those choices as I don't see it that much.

He was wearing olive chuck, denim double knees, and what was obviously a well made flannel overshirt, and a cap. He was quite tall, slim, and broad. So, the fit on the shirt was something I noticed as being very on point.

His head was down reading his phone. Was waiting for my coffee and I noticed his shoulder bag looked pretty techwear like. Looked like it was from Acronym. Took another look and realized it was the author William Gibson.

Now there's a guy who really knows what he's doing. Luckily he's actually really nice too, or he'd just be insufferable...
