Hi Scott,

The order I placed is a gift for a friend of mine who is larger than me, hence the temporary size change of the order is different than what you had before.

FYI, the guy I'm sending your jacket to is Richard Wurman who is the founder of TED, the technology, entertainment, and design conference that has been annually in Monterey, California. It's probably the top tech conference in the world for the elite. People like Frank Gehry, Jane Goodall, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Norman Lear, and Quincy Jones, to name a few, have been presenters there. I've attended and/or presented almost every year since the beginning in 1984, where Alan Kay, the godfather of modern computers, also gave a presentation.

He sold that conference a few years ago and started a new one called EG 2008 (this year year it's EG 2008, last year was EG 2007… you get the idea). He knows every major tech person on the planet. I saw another person at EG 2007 that had one of your jackets. He and I both raved about them to the other attendees.

He was impressed with the multi-pocket idea. You can Google him, the TED Conference, and EG 2008.
