Weekly Wrap Up 10/25 – 10/29

Weekly Wrap Up 10/25 – 10/29, 2010

Deal of the Week – Swiss Army Maverick II Chrono – $196.90 (reg. $395)

Green for not nearly as much green.

Sure the green means you’re not going to wear it with a suit.  But the rubber watch strap probably limited it already.  And the green is a great color that blends in better than say, orange, yellow, or even red.  Comes with a chronograph, on sale through Nordstrom, and you’d be hard pressed to find this price on a non-chrono Maverick anywhere else.

Most Discussed Post – Style Debate:  Wearing a peacoat – Collar up or down?

Up? Down? Cut the damn thing off?

This is the problem with the word “Always.”  When GQ’s Jim Moore says you “always” have to pop the collar on your peacoat, eyebrows get raised.  And speaking of raised, can’t we replace the word “pop” with raise?  Or, flip up?
