Might as well just turn this into the "GMG / WAYWT thread" and start posting fit pics.

I read the first sentence and assumed it was his work team home sick. Then 2 names followed, so it fit until sweatshirt came up, then my brain had to reverse.

I'm going to go on a limb and guess that this is the care instructions for a piece of clothing but the tag that is in a foreign language?

I think it was February and an unrelenting -30; I was so toasty warm, and felt like Han Solo on Hoth.
My wife has a Fjallraven and she raves about it. I have a couple things from there (the pants are nearly indestructible, but they did suffer some damage when I crashed a quad this summer). I do really like a lot of their things, but it's pretty expensive, depending on what the item is.

Sometimes people with nice things will talk about them. It's usually not to brag, though, but I can understand how it could be interpreted that way. I don't think Peter was bragging here.

Honestly, posts from guys like peter12, yoho, Silver and a few others are exactly why CP is so entertaining. They say something and a bunch of others get bent out of shape. It's so great.

Agreed. I don't think he was truly bragging.

The amount of Googling I did to basically conclude he was wearing a vest, sweatshirt, army pants and Nike shoes was quite a bit. It does sound like a pretty slick ensemble though.

Of course he was bragging. He was bragging about how cool he looks today. Did you not read his post?

This is the gmg thread, not the happy or bragging thread. So it’s more likely he was complaining about having to wear a bunch of ugly mismatched clothes he stole from the donation bin outside the Salvation Army.

So true. Whenever I get down and discouraged I think of Silver and his bunker. Instant relief.

Have you ever met a person who narrates their own life?

I always just assumed that's what Peter12 does. He's not necessarily bragging, he's just narrating his what he sees. Kinda like, what Boring Sean Monahan does.
