[RBW] Re: A Thought for Sheldon Today

[wjspencer]

Thank you Jim. Sheldon was a very special person who had the ability to 
make complete newbies feel comfortable asking beginner questions. He never 
made you feel stupid or out of line. I am very fortunate to be the steward 
of his orange rambouillet and think about him almost daily.

[RBW] Re: Who pre ordered an English Jacket?

[wjspencer]

Has anyone looked at the price of a Hilltrek Ventile jacket? This is very 
reasonably priced regardless of where it is made. The type of cotton used 
to make this type of material is rare and therefore pricey. I think we all 
know that Rivendell doesn't mark up the items they have made an 
unreasonable amount. I tried a prototype in 2012 which was wonderful and 
they say this one is even better. I can't wait. I'll post a review next 
week when I receive it.

Hi,
I got a pin from the original run back when. Can you send me a link or 
address for the new store?

Thanks
