Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

PT softshell jacket; gabba is the new comic sans

Does anyone own a classic t-shirt? I love my merino base layers but they're too tight/underwear looking to wear as an everyday t-shirt.

Thinking €50 in the sale is still pretty steep for a t-shirt

Do fuck off. Just because you're such an enormous tart that you can't be seen in last seasons 'must wear' item, doesn't mean it's obsolete. Moreover, the comic sans comparison- you can do better than that.

No different, more plentiful. Soho shop had sizes not listed on the website.

Hopefully it'll live up to the hype and the 'Sage Green' won't be too offensive. Still annoyed I missed the fluoro green but there we go.

Isn't the point that Gabba jackets are meant to be great (I don't have one, but would like one) whereas comic sans is just shit?

:-p

anyone going down to rapha store in next few days that could pick me up something and post it?

Sure. Pm me.

It's subjective; depends on its use really doesn't it? Comic sans is a perfectly good font for a child's birthday party invitation, but in very poor taste on a headstone. It's neither good, nor bad - it just is. There is a case to be made for correct context of pretty much anything design-wise, it just depends how good you are at rationalising it.

The whole 'comic sans is shit/good' thing is just people either being facetious, or lazy. See also, all the people who think Helvetica is boring. Etc.

Bringing it back to the present context - comparing a gabba to comic sans would only make sense if @Chalfie had asked "what's a really great hot weather base layer?"... Or something..

what's a really great hot weather base layer?

PT mesh

Lol

Good bants up in this bitch

He says, browsing the Rapha thread on LFGSS.

Taking a break from the rollers?

A Gabba, like comic sans, is not particularly attractive but does serve a purpose. In the case of Comic Sans, it was developed for early readers/learning disabilities and I use it regularly at work (as a teacher). I think Gabbas are ugly as sin, and massively unflattering, but in terms of function they're brilliant.

I use Comic Sans for letters to HMRC, local government (particularly building planning offices), as well as resignation letters.

Best font ever.

Function > form

Says the man who just bought a green wind jacket...

Well... slightly worried about how it's actually going to look when it arrives. Hoping for 'nicely pastel' rather than 'snot'.

the missus has two and they're one of her favorite shirts during winter,

although would not buy mens version because of fugliness

Last time I handed in my notice it was in Comic Sans. 100x better.

Like I'd wear rapha.
