Re: Shawl-Necked Cardigan
I just picked up one of these this week at Kohl's. It was on sale for $24.99 and I had a 30% off coupon. I only paid $17.49 for it. For about the price of a t shirt, it was a no brainer of a decision. The sleeves are nice and long so it actually fits my long arms. The body is a little too long, so y...

Re: David Morgan No Longer Braiding, so?
Yeah, I've had my DM whip for a few years, now. I'm not sure which year it was that I got it, but it was around the time that Meagan first began to help him, or at least we first heard about it here on COW. I think it was 2005 that I went out to the QM, and I had my DM whip then.

I think the arm holes are too big, but it looks screen accurate. I like sleeves that fit closer up to the arm pit. Then, the sleeves move with your arms and the jacket stays with your body. When the bottom of the arm hole is further down your body, the jacket tends to move with your arms. That alway...

The fit in the neck and shoulders is very good. The sleeves are perfect for Raiders. Like KT said, the only thing that I see that may be off just a tad, is the length of the body. It is not bad for KotCS, but it is a little long on you for Raiders. However, if you are not wearing full Indy gear, the...
