How about some non-TheSartorialist?

From Garance Dore:

Oh, sorry, it's in the "COLUMN" section under Daiki.

Has anyone caught a glimpse of FW09 yet?

Checkout Daiki's "Journal" on the Nepenthes.co.jp website. The last two entries have pics from the Pitti Uomo booth (did I misspell that?) and you get some pixelated glimpses of FW09.

Earlier this week. Second one dropped from this thread yesterday during SuperDownTime.

Get rid of the sidebar and change the colors. My eyes are killing me.

American Rag does carry them. That's where I got mine.

Villains in the Haight might too.

Stopped by Bittersweet Chocolate Cafe yesterday on Fillmore in SF. Wooden floors and picnic-like tables. Kinda reminds me of my stereotype of a barn, since I've never actually been in one.

Their bittersweet hot chocolate's not that bad. They use water instead of milk, so the chocolate flavor comes out. Would have like it to have been a little thicker by way of less water, but I'll have to request that next time. They've also got a bunch of pastries that involve chocolate in one way or another. Good selection of chocolate bars, organized by milk, dark, and etc (etc = things other than chocolate in the bar). It really is a cafe and less a chocolate shop, so if you've got some studying to do and would rather get your caffeine through chocolate than coffee, this is the spot to be.

Just found this "Baylist" from San Francisco Chronicle for good chocolate spots:http://baylist.sfgate.com/lifestyle/specialty-food-and-drink/chocolate?page=1

Will have to check some of these out. Anyone with experience in any of those listed in the link? I'm thinking of checking out the Bittersweet Chocolate Cafe tonight, if I get off work early enough.

I'm actually drinking some Vosges hot chocolate as I type. Actually, waiting for it to cool down a little bit. If you're thinking of going to a shop in SF to get some hot chocolate, Christopher Elbow has a decent one over in Hayes Valley, Cocoa Bella serves up a mean extra dark in the Westfield Mall, and since Cotton since you're in Valencia you might want to check out Bi-Rite Creamery over at 18th and Dolores. In the cold months they serve up hot chocolate, although I don't remember exactly how good theirs is since it was before I started on my chocolate craze. Or you could also head over to the Bi-Rite grocery and pick up either the Askenozia (not sure how that's spelled) or the Reccuiti mix and make it at home.

If you're looking for particular brands of hot chocolate that you can order online, Woodhouse Chocolate in St. Helena, California

Jacques Torres

Vosges

Marie Belle

Reccuiti

I like all of the above and I believe they can be ordered online. Marie Belle is unsweetened, so you sweeten it to taste.

BTW, the bottom four of the above list can be bought from Chocolate Covered in SF for those in the area.

I wonder how many black people are voting for Obama because he's black..?

Engineered Garments FW07 Engineer's Jacket in Navy Melton Wool, size Medium.

Condition: Used less than 10 times. No rips or tear or stains.

Material: The jacket's made of thick melton wool, which is definitely a winter/snow worthy material (I have worn it in the snow in NYC and it is one of the thickest and warmest materials EG uses) and will not let water through in a decent rain (not a downpour though, which is true for almost all non-techy materials). The ends of the sleeves are open, the front only buttoned and it is a waist length coat, so you'll need to compensate for that with gloves and some cover in the torso if you're going out in the snow.

Measurements:

Shoulders = 17 1/2"

Body Width = 21 1/2"

Sleeve Length (top) = 25 3/4"

Length (rear, from base of collar) = 27 1/2"

Fit pics below. I'm 5'9", wear a 38R in suit size, and weigh 170lb.
