Triplette -arrrrgh!@#@#@!

[rm]

Okay. The fencing jacket saga continues. I am beyond frustrated.

Let's recap:

Jacket arrives and arms are 4 inches too short.
I send jacket back for an exchange. After speaking to them on the phone they assure me that the new pattern for the size 34 will accomodate my arm length.
They doublecharge my credit card.
I call them, get the second charge taken off.
New jacket arrives, it fits perfectly, BUT it's the stretch jacket -- I ordered the cotton duck!!#!#@#.

So now I have to send it back, AGAIN, because it doesn't offer as much protection as the jacket I should have received. And this means I still can't fence properly next week.

I think I'm going to cry.

They're not stretch. :) They're made from this snazzy space-age stuff called Spectra that's made to stop a broken blade from breaking your skin in one layer instead of a bunch, like denim. Fun to play with, but you can definitely feel the hits better.

Ahhhhhhh, thanks :) I was having these horrible visons of lycra/spandex jackets and going Ewww.

We stopped doing that in the '80's, right about the time Olivia Newton-John stopped being popular. ;-)
