A few new arrivals from the Gap caught my eye over the weekend. First, this red and black buffalo plaid shawl neck cardigan is a personal favorite of mine. I have one from RRL that cost way too much to admit, which you can now get for a fraction of the price. Of course the quality is not as high and there are a few details compromised but it's still a beautiful sweater. And if there are just too many lumberjacks on the L train you might want to put that one on ice and check this other grandpa option in a similar cozy style that has my name written all over it at $78.
And if you're looking for some selvedge denim at a decent price this pair might do the trick for $88. How about that, the Gap surprises us once again this season. As you know, items sell out fast once they get seen here so don't sleep if you're interested in them. Otherwise there's a possibility of disappointment and we both know that feeling all to well...
Gap Buffalo Plaid Cardigan link
I've been scoping Gap's site waiting for them to release a plain shawl neck cardigan. I'm not digging the buffalo check for some reason (although you wear it well, sir). I just saw that beige one the other day, but it's not quite doing it for me either. I wonder if they'll release a dark navy color, similar to J Crew's...

their wool CPO shirt jacket is a great "look for less" piece - really solid.

I was on the L train quite a bit this weekend and yes, the buffalo plaid was pretty thick. Like the look of the sweater though.

I scored those jeans in the RAW version, in store. Def a little nicer than the rinsed version on line. I loves em.

I'm definitely getting both. Thanks Jake.

Did you guys find the Gap selvedge denim to be a little thin? I saw them in store and they felt a little flimsy.

Red & black cardigan will suit me I guess as I'm six pack ;). Thanks for (sharing)posting such designs here.

Hey Jake,
Would you mind posting a picture of the cardigan that you liked from the Gap. I clicked your link but as you said it's sold out and they don't have a picture up anymore. I'm curious if you have it. Thanks.
Interesting blog too.

I found several souces for a yard of ale glass, but they are all
made of glass! How odd that you can buy a half yard of ale glass in
plastic, but not an entire yard of ale! If you're interested in the
glass yards, let me know. The sources I found were located in the UK.
