FWIW, we went by the Orvis store in DT Chicago, and they are having a _huge_
sale - mid-arbor Battenkills at about 35-40% off (they are redoing them) and
they are damned near giving away a fair selection of clothes away - we walked
out with a bag full of shirts, shorts, etc. (the SO got a couple of coats, even)
for a song (and Louie, they even had some Simms stuff at giveaway prices). I'm
not sure if it is limited to that store or not, but Lee (a FFer, too) says he
can get whatever they have in the chain, at those prices, shipped, shipping
costs waived.

Usual disclaimer - just passing it on, no vested interest in anyone buying.
