My travel toiletry bags have airline names on the side.

Or a nice Coach belt! :cool:

I just love the smell of that store.

Remarkably, I own only a single fantastic black multi-purpose leather belt, purchased in SLC in 2000/2001.

My travel toiletry bags have "Glad" on the side.

The former singer in my band used to spend just about ALL her gig money on Coach, LV, Gucci, etc. The way I see it, the bag shouldn't cost more than the amount of money it can actually hold. She once showed me a $4000 purse she bought....she had a Gucci diaper bag.....I just don't get it!! (no offense baglady)

The travel toiletry bag for the carry-on is so cheap it doesn't even have a manufacturer mark ;)

The amenity kits that I do have I have left intact since they are old versions or they are from airlines that are no longer in business. My mother was kind enough to save me one of the NW amenity kits from her ride home in J. The plane had DL paint and crew, but they were still giving out NW stuff.

If I had the waistline to wear a Coach belt, I would. The largest I've seen in the outlets and in the full-price store is 42. I aspire to be a 42 again. I should have just bought the damn portfolio. $139, 50% off, 25% off that. That's a steal.

Good afternoon, box.

I'm not nearly as materialistic as your old singer, but there are certain labels that I will seek out and others that I have sought out and been disappointed with. Case in point: Coach is nice, I won't say no to something with the Coach name that fits in a guy's wardrobe. On the flipside, you won't catch me in a Kenneth Cole store ever again. Their dress boots fell apart on me, and when The Pier at Caesars opened, I called the store for a hotel guest and got nothing but :rolleyes:, as if they were saying "Who is he to call here and bother us? We're too busy sitting here and looking effete and pretty." I then went to the store for personal shopping, and no fewer than three salespeople glared at me. I can only assume that it was either because of how I was dressed (Polo, jeans, sneakers) or because I'm overweight. Either way, I felt like I was being judged and not being helped. It was really too bad because I was seriously considering a $500 pair of shoes. So, in short, F Kenneth Cole.

You wear the same belt with your suits that you hang your holster on? How thick is it?

I just bought a new black belt yesterday. I keep losing weight and need to buy new ones all the time. :(

Using my PClub membership card to get in to an RCC makes me feel dirty. :o

The "snack table" here is amusing though as it has all of the standard RCC selection on one side and most of the standard PClub selections on the other side.

Does she or doesn't she??
 
Are M fares only good for round trips?I tried to book a one way M fare to LAX from CLE and the web site says that there are "no available seats meeting your requirements". Or am I dealing with a CO.com glitch?

I explain to my economics students the difference between cost and value. An example is Patagonia - I have a raincoat and winter coat for life for $250 total (and indeed I am on the second raincoat).

It's a beautifully plain, black leather belt. Without a micrometer, I would estimate 1 1/4" and just under 1/4". And the Blackhawk SERPA paddle holster is designed to not "pull" at a single location.

Down 20 pounds since the end of July (two months), I'm about to punch a new hole in this belt for the first time.
