What did you dislike about Wallingford?

I have yet to see the broken-in straight chinos be included in a sale anytime this year. How long ago did you buy yours?

What would you recommend for a high rise fit (~11.5" rise and up)? Nothing too baggy and ideally under $200 but willing to spend more for the right pair. Don't care too much about selvedge or unique designs. Just a solid quality high rise pair of dark wash jeans.

Is it a white or champagne dial?

Is the face champagne or white? In your photo it appears cream but on their site it shows white.

And this other model shows champagne:

What are your priorities? Laptop? What size? Style or function or both? External water bottle pocket? Zip or buckle or other?

Still haven't found the perfect bag (and probably never will). I've been using a very strange compromise that is the ULA Dragonfly 36l + Peak Design large cube. It's not rear opening which is a huge bummer and has little organization but in terms of comfort and lightweight it's the only solution I've found that works well for me. The camera cube also fits in my 30l Dragonfly but very snug. ULA recently added thicker straps which are supposed to be even more comfortable but even the old straps are more comfortable than any camera bag I've used by far. My other most comfortable bag I've used for travel is an Osprey Farpoint 40l, so it seems the hiking/travel companies design comfortable harness systems MUCH better than any camera company in my experience. But I've seen many people praise Shimoda's comfort so I think my frame/build is unique.

I've also been using the Thinktank Walker Pro Rolling Backpack for my airport travel carry-on and it's excellent but I wouldn't use it as a full time backpack.

I'm not sure I'll ever find a backpack by a camera company that has similar comfort to a company that makes hiking backpacks but I'm still open to trying new bags, mainly for more organization and a rear-opening design so I can set it down outside easier. And also built-in edge protection/padding for camera gear would be good since using cubes seems to waste some space that would be better built-in.

One other bag I still haven't tried that I've heard great things about is the NYA Evo 60l and 36l.

Yes I saw it at AMC Plainville. The seats are so bad that I probably won't go there again.

How did XD compare in screen and sound quality? How much did you feel was missed on the top and bottom compared to 70mm? I saw in regular IMAX and the seats were horrible and it was beyond LOUD. And I normally like loud movies.

Do you have any pics or description of how the bottom lands relative to your knuckles? I'm trying to decide between S and R

That sounds just about perfect. I'll have to try them

What's the fitment around the arms and sleeve length like? Is it fitted?

What's the fit around the arms and arm length like? Is it fitted or loose?

Curuous what you end up with as I'm looking at purchasing my first suit from them soon

Born and Bread might be my favorite bakery of all time. Do you know of any like it in CT? (or New England)

Yes. It's nearly impossible to find a good pour over in CT and the ones that do them are usually mediocre with limited roast choices. Perkatory told me they aren't doing them anymore either last time I went. Great pastries are also hard to find.

Link isn't working

I'd also love some recommendations specifically for a long sleeve button up and belted pants combo for something slightly dressier but still for warm weather (linen or similar), without being as dressy as a full suit.

Is their booth in the forest?

Damn that's too bad. I'd love to try out some Wiim speakers and their Ultra Amp but not if it can't integrate with my current Sonos and Homepods via Airplay.

Is the lack of Airplay a hardware or software limitation? Its absence is a deal-breaker for myself and many friends I've spoken with. I have a mix of several Apple Homepods and Sonos speakers that I use exclusively with Airplay. I'd love to add in Wiim products but until Airplay is added back it's a no-go. I almost purchased the Amp Ultra to revive my old home theater towers but was shocked to find out Airplay was removed even though the older Amp has it.

What do you dislike about airplay?
