I thought Prana was already owned by a bigger company?

Hopefully this won't mean they stop making 28x32 trousers as they're one of the few companies who do that size.

Better they are owned by Columbia than by iirc liz Claiborne.


Edit. Looks like prana was bought back from liz Claiborne by the former original owners a couple of years ago.

Rather than waiting for favourite clothes to disappear or be redesigned why not grab a few pairs now and stock pile for the future (as could be done with climbing shoes)?

Yes I'm with Dense on this slackers as what if you bought loads of pairs of Prana
Lycra tights only to find that next year everyone starts wear denim.

Don't be silly dense. Slackline's cellar is already full of hard drives, power supplies and raspberry pi's.

No but I've heard a symptom of being on smack is to grossly over-exaggerate in an attempt to belittle others and/or be humorous. :-*

My cellar is full; I'm still working my way through the tinned goods and bottled water I bought in late 1999.

Or that next seasons colours are taupe and burnt umber, and you've got a stockpile of russet and aquamarine. Then you will look very, very foolish.

Ahh, but if you play the long game these things all come in cycles... taupe will be back.. mark my words... My cellar is full of dismembered corpses anyway...
