So, in one or another of the Batman movies, one of the journalist characters comments that the rich are different from other people.  If this item is anything to go by, I'd say the difference is they're more gullible.  $1895 regular retail for a vest that, aside from the name on the label, isn't noticeably different from similar items sold for about $1830 less by the likes of, say, Old Navy or Dillard's?  Just what exactly does over $1800 worth of "better" look like that doesn't show in this photo?

Fashionistas are from another planet.  Seriously.

Yeah, to me it looks like something a very junior accountant at a rather stuffy accounting firm might have worn in about 1930.

Really? I think it's gorgeous. Nice clean lines, a good European cut.

I won't go so far as to say gorgeous but it is nice clean lines. Neck is a bit high and so are the pockets. Take the pockets off and drop the neck by an inch and it would be lovely.

1800usd worth of lovely?

Not unless it was made with cloth of gold.

So if you want his bike... take the opportunity to visit the other Gweepers. :-)

Note the "Never, ever doing the Iron Butt thing again." It would be stupid expensive to ship it across the US, and there really isn't much further away I could live and still be in the lower 48.

So you're in San Diego then. :-)

Oh well.

(It's not that I want him to sell the bike but needs must when the devil drives)

Just south of San Fransisco, actually. But it's actually *shorter* to San Diego then me by about 30 miles. (it's more of a straight shot, no hook through the rockies/sierra nevadas.)

Huh. So Redwood City or South San Francisco?

We lived in Valley West in San Jose, off of 880 (the Dixon Landing exit) in Milpitas, and in Tracy.

Moss Beach, actually.

Little sleepy town right below Pacifica on 1, basically the west end of 92. I live about three hundred yards from the Pacific. You really can't get much more west then I without moving to hawaii. (That's another reason why SD is closer. They're South EAST of me. :)

I keep forgetting how much the Southern California coast hugs in.

I used to live in Morro Bay above San Luis Obispo. Attended Cal Poly for a year.
