I agree that Le Col's pricing discounts and sales patterns are kind of wonky. However, I do like their fabrics, but their size that fits my chest (XL) is a bit too long for my torso. Le Col is...

Here's an idea...Wear what you want. Spend you own money as you see fit. If you don't like the way something looks that someone else is wearing, don't buy that thing for yourself.
