I'm a huge fan of the wool socks made by Chrome. I wear them in the office,
on hikes, and on bikes. I would say that they are easily at or above the
quality to Smart Wool socks. (Which isn't saying much because Smart Wool
makes some crappy, and some excellent, socks.) Chrome also offers a
of course that is a Bates, but essentially the same idea - short-trail

BobbyB! Most excellent report on your Boreal Shirt. Yes, you will love it
for a long time. The leather lacing is a fun place to adorn your shirt; I
assume yours is laced upsidedown as mine was/is meaning that the ends of
the laces come out of the bottom eyelets rather than the top eyelets.
Filson's socks used to be good. They switched something (perhaps making
them in China) around 2000 and they've been poor ever since.

I don't see the kickstand plate hating, seems really nitpicky. I mean, how
often do you actually look over your bikes to find the things you don't
like? I guess this keeps the custom frame builders in business so to each
their own.

Ah, if someone wants something super custom I see it. I subscribe to the
view that the more options (within reason) the better, so I want the
kickstand (and fender mounting!) plate, and as many brazeons as I can get.
