I haven't had a JanSport in years. I remember they were so popular in the later elementary school years. Hope they release a Canadian version later (unlikely but it's still nice to dream).

Not related to your Jansport post, but you got a shoutout in a comment on Jezebel. You've just been added to my rotation, and I'm blog rolling you.

Due to my frame, I often, by necessity, find myself wearing boys or women's clothes, if men's are just too big. I also often like a bit more curvature and construction, again, because of my frame. So I tend to try to find the same median you've documented here, only coming at it from the opposite side of the gender spectrum, while still retaining classic American style.

I think your blog will be quite inspirational.
Wow, I really love the Heritage reissue! Probably haven't had a Jansport since middle school, but it looks as though I'm about to get another one...

Best,
Mariah
