I really like those, how much did you snag them for?

Ruined my No Spend July on the last day of the month! Picked up a pair of GAP Selvedge Slims on sale for $32, and the fit was perfect. Haven't bought a pair of jeans in 4 years, last set was another round of GAP selvedge in their now obsolete Authentic fit, which fits exactly the same as 514's. Here's hoping that these will last as long as my last pair.

I have the same concern. I think the site says when in doubt to go with the smaller size. And yeah, you don't want a cap that's too big. I will report back when mine cap doth arrive.

Just a follow up note on the Ebbet's cap--received an email last night saying that it was backordered and it generally takes 4-6 weeks... which sucks, but let's be honest, I wasn't really itching to wear a full wool cap in August so no real loss except that I don't have instant gratification from the purchase. Hopefully it'll be a mini-Christmas(insert holiday of choice here) when I forget I ordered it and it comes in September!

Well, that sucks. I wonder if that's what's going on with my order. I haven't received an shipment notice.

Saved up for a while and I'm really excited. Also, my office smells great.

Oooh, those are nice! Flashy, sure, but niiiiice.

Beautiful. I want. No, I NEED. Us attorneys need to look important, right?

What style/size did you go with? Is that a large thin in dark coffee?

Oh man. I'm not important enough to have something of this sort, but I can still feel jealous!

Thanks, all! It is indeed the large thin in dark coffee. I've been using the same (admittedly fairly high quality) soft nylon bag for about 5 years and it was getting a little ratty. So, I figured I'd replace it once and never again. It's a beast, but a great one. It'll take some getting used to, but I'm OK with that. And, Trueflame, I don't think I'm important enough for something like this either - I'm just hoping it'll inspire me to rise to the occassion!

Unlike my modest colleagues, I feel that I am important enough for something like this. Therefore, Shomas, you're welcome to send it to me. That's a beautiful briefcase!

Thanks! Yeah, they're pretty flashy but I love them. Wore them to work today and got some very positive comments about them. That briefcase is a beauty by the way!

I'm in nearly the exact position you were pre-Saddleback purchase. My Victorinox nylon bag has been a trooper for years (since 2L back in summer of 08), but I was thinking come bonus season I may be using the 'disposable' portion (I always tag some for fun--last spring went toward some custom suits and a Tahoe trip--and the rest for loans) to go toward a Saddleback and another suit or two.

Random aside -- lit or transactional? your office looks sadly similar to mine.
