Why the long case?
Heh, unfortunately you will have to wait until they do another run. It is really beautiful. Also, impressive hardware:
FABRIC Cordura Ballistic 1050D, Black
TRIMS Black YKK zipper, Black Horween Chromexcel leather accents
It is $89.

Don't you live in Los Angeles?

speaking of bags, i noticed that Navali had some stuff cheap last weekend so i jumped in on a natural canvas Mainstay messenger that for some reason was deep discounted for 35 bucks. After i ordered, it shot back up to 130 and now its down to 50.
I recieved it today - real impressed with the construction. thick canvas, insanely thick woven strap that is so thick that it feels like its padded, nice sturdy heavy zips.
There's just one problem - it's too goddamned small. they say it will fit a 13" laptop, but i dont see how. the pocket looks too small. I tried to fit my 15" work lenovo into the main compartment (as suggested on some yt videos and forum posts) and it very nearly doesn't fit and there's no room for ANYTHING else, hah.
All in all, I am really pleased with all this for 35 bucks but it doesn't do the one thing it's supposed to do. It will be a perfect bag for toting around my Surface pro, though.

Yes, it was. But it went OOS before I could order one. Like literally in my cart one second and gone the next.
The bag has a laptop pocket inside the main compartment that is made for 13" laptops. But they say that if you have larger laptop, you can simply just put it IN the main compartment itself.
These are the interior measurements on their site: 13 ½"(w) x 12"(h) x 4"(d)
What are the dimensions of your laptop?
I don't know offhand, but the screen size is 14.something or 15".
Anyways the laptop does fit - just not all that well. Bag was only 35 bucks, so eh. I can just use it for my Surface Pro.

fashion is overrated anyways.
I do and I recently transferred to a local school here but it's awful. Looking to throw out a wide net and see if any schools farther away will let me in. California has the worst rules when it comes to max/min transfer credit and how/when you can apply. I was shocked to see u of pitt has rolling admission. You could live 100 years and never see that in California.

Do you mind me asking what you study? /career field

Don't mind at all. Currently studying economics. Hoping to further progress to a masters in finance from a top 50.
Part of the reason I'd like to try my chances elsewhere would be school rankings matter when trying to get into master programs. Pitt is 62nd in the nation which is not mind blowing but still not bad

yeah one of my friends still isn't back in school after Fullerton didn't let him transfer with his credits from Biola. it sucks

Nothing at all or was he over limit? Either way they have the worst policy in the country. I guess when they have all those people trying to go there they can just make whatever demands they want. There are more respected institutions that would allow you to just take one years worth of classes and graduate whereas even the crappiest state school in CA demands at least 2 years of residency.
Jesus. Hope this doesn't affect me when I try applying this upcoming Fall (from my community college).

I have that bag and rather like it, but some parts of it are poorly made. One of the leather straps inside broke within a couple of months, although I barely used them (button/unbuttoned them rarely). The leather part connected to the zipper on the back was also gone within half a year and the leather lining on the flap unstitched after a couple of months. This was easily repaired though, It's a sturdy bag otherwise and I like the look, but definitely not perfect quality.

Has anyone used Suit Supply's MTM service?

I think it had to do with Biola being a private christian school and so fullerton not really counting it as real. But it was a long while ago now so I don't remember the details all that well, just that he got totally fucked over

breh hit up yoox and start scrollin
I was doing this on my phone last night and there is a lot of crap to go through, but browsing on the computer is so much more efficient. I'll check it out.

More like breh clear your weekend and hit up yoox and start scrolling until your eyes bleed. Yoox and farfetch are so insane I only go there if I know exactly what I'm looking for.

farfetch is much easier/quicker to navigate than yoox
Bam Bam Baklava

Easier to navigate perhaps but similar level of quantity.

That looks nice. I love that it has a side storage/pocket for a travel mug. That's one thing I really wish my Incase had :/ It is one of the most useful compartments. The price on these isn't bad either.

true but on farfetch at least i recognise almost all the labels, with yoox i've never heard of the majority
Is that a (pup) bully?
Also, Farfetch...yoox....brehs, go bespoke for dat smoking jacket!
Save the scrolling for when your gf is annoying you to do some mundane shit and you're pretending to be working.

I'm in Pittsburgh, it's a good school and a cool area.
Pics? I've been thinking about getting one since I can get a pretty good deal. Not sure about the fit though. What color did you get the Olive or Blue?

I could use a new jacket. I've always fancied the jackets with the off-center zippers.
Any suggestions?
I much prefer an old school classic look. I just don't get the new wave stuff...

I need some new smart clothes. Anyone know the best places (preferably in the UK, but am open to ordering elsewhere if international shipping is available) that does good skinny or very slim-fitting suits?
I'm built quite skinny and I'm not particularly tall. I can probably answer my own question by just saying "get a tailored suit", but the only place I know without resorting to that is Top Man. I'm currently rocking skinny fit Next trousers and Asos skinny fit jackets, but a 'skinny fit' on me is equivalent to a 'slim fit' on an average guy...
I got some slick Paul Smith dress shoes from the GF for Christmas and want to spruce up the rest of my image for work.
