    Current coupon codes

    Thanks for the coupon updates! Noggin Tops seems to have the nicest shipping policy, but I've seen their Chatham price fluctuate pretty wildly. I haven't really been keeping an eye on other vendors' product price movement, but I am interested in knowing why so many vendors base shipping on...

    Lost and Confused in Panama

    Hungary Tom, I think we've made great progress here! Mike PS. Tom, it looks like the FL crashed and dumped just about everything but the final pages of the treads on the board. Do you think you could re-post the pictures of your Panamas, including the close-up shot of the weave? M.
