EG and various other brands. 

can someone comment on the quality of master piece? does the quality justify the pricetag - or is it just made in jpland hype?

I have the 20th aniv. messenger and quality and detailing is insane. 

Master-Piece 20th aniv. tote/messenger.

is that their jake the snake model? those are supposed to be awesome. what'd you think of the disc brakes so far?

No, this is the 2014 Rove but with a carbon fork. I think geometry is the same, but the Rove is steel and has all rack mounts. Brakes (Hayes CX5) are good, easier to set up and adjust than Avid BB7:s, but nowhere near as good as hydraulic ones. Weighed 12 kg, now its 10.9 which is still much heavier than the carbon bike I had before.

What

Recently bought the Norse Project primaloft shirt that was discussed earlier in this thread. Best buy of 2014. Super lightweight, super warm and super versatile. Will be perfect for cycling when winter comes. 

Helmut Lang

Anyone know of some good field pants or something hiking-like (for hot weather) that aren't cut to fit around elephant legs? I'm already a small guy and even "slim" stuff tends to be pretty loose on me. Just because I'm hiking doesn't mean I have to look like my legs have their own individual dresses, I hope.

Arc'Teryx, always. 

Bomber comes in black too:
