A FEW YEARS AGO, THEY OPTED TO DO AWAY WITH THIS CATALOG AND BACK IN 2013 THEY INTRODUCED THEIR “PORSCHE DESIGN DRIVER’S SELECT MAGAZINE”. WHICH WAS VIRTUALLY THE SAME THING ONLY IN A LARGER FORMAT AND THEY CONTAINED MORE STORIES ABOUT JUST HOW GREAT THEIR PRODUCT LINE IS. NOW THEY HAVE DONE AWAY WITH THE PRINTED VERSION ALTOGETHER AND NOW OFFER THIS CATALOG/MAGAZINE HYBRID AS AN ONLINE VIEW ONLY. SO THE DAYS OF ME TAKING PICTURES OF THEIR PAST CATALOG COVER AND CONTENT PAGES TO NOT JUST PROVE THAT THE ITEM IN FRONT OF YOU IS FROM ” PORSCHE DESIGN “, BUT IT’S A LICENSED AND AUTHORIZED ONE AT THAT, ARE OVER! MY LISTINGS HEREAFTER WILL BE GETTING SHORTER WITH LESS COPY…. AS I CREATE NEW LISTINGS FOR NEWER ” pd ” ITEMS THE LONGER MULTI PAGE LISTINGS (LIKE THIS ONE) WILL SLOWLY VANISH AS THE ITEMS CONTAINED EACH ONE OF THESE LONG LISTINGS SELL OFF. TO MY LOYAL CUSTOMERS, KNOW THIS, I WILL NEVER STOOP SO LOW AS TO BRING IN ANY AFTERMARKET CRAP AND ADVERTISE IT AS OTHERWISE. IN FACT, I TRY REAL HARD TO KEEP OUT ALL NON-AUTHORIZED AND NON-LICENSED ” PORSCHE DESIGN ” GOODS. I HAVE NOT CHANGED, THE SYSTEM WHICH I WORK IN…. SO ADAPT, I MUST. FOR YEARS NOW “PORSCHE DESIGN DRIVER’S SELECTION” HAS CONJURED UP DIFFERENT “COLLECTIONS” WHICH ALLOW THEM TO KEEP THEIR SELECTION OF GOODIES CURRENT, DIVERSE AND NEW. THE COLLECTION BEING OFFERED HERE IS, ONCE AGAIN, FROM THEIR URBAN EXPLORER COLLECTION OF CALENDAR YEAR 2019. CONTAINED WITHIN THIS URBAN EXPLORER COLLECTION ARE THESE SWEATPANTS. I CHERRY PICK WHICH ITEMS I FEEL ARE THE BETTER ONES WITHIN EACH “COLLECTION” AS THEY CLOSE THEM OUT AND GET READY FOR THE NEXT BATCH OF “COLLECTIONS” TO BE RELEASED. IF THEY DO NOT, I SIMPLY MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM WITHIN EACH COLLECTION. I HAVE THESE BLACK SWEATPANTS IN EVERY SIZE THEY OFFERED EXCEPT IN A USA SIZE LARGE OR EURO SIZE EXTRA LARGE. I HAVE THESE IN SIZES, IN USA SIZES; FROM AN XS UP TO AN XXL. NOT A TRUCK-LOAD OF THEM MIND YOU, BUT, ENOUGH TO LAST FOR A YEAR OR TWO (HOPEFULLY) AND OFFER YOU, MY CUSTOMERS, A CHANCE TO BRING SOMETHING NEW AND COOL HOME FOR YOUR COLLECTION/ENJOYMENT! IN THE PAST, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT ONCE I OBTAIN A NEW COLLECTION, SOON AFTER THE COLLECTION SELLS OFF AND VANISHES FOREVER. VERY RARELY DOES PAG RE-MAKE ANY ITEM FROM ANY COLLECTION. SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE…. BE WISE AND ACT, FOR WHEN IT SELLS OFF…. AND IT WILL SELL OFF, THEY WILL BE FOREVER GONE! IF I HAVE IT LISTED, CHANCES ARE BETTER THEN AVERAGE THAT IT’S BEING OFFERED BELOW WHAT ANY PORSCHE DEALERSHIP WOULD ASK FOR THE SAME ITEM. AND CHANCES ARE EQUALLY GOOD THAT YOUR DEALERSHIP CAN NO LONGER OBTAIN THE ITEM AS CHANCES ARE IT WILL BE LISTED IN THEIR “PPLS” (PORSCHE PARTS LOCATION SYSTEM) AS “NLA” AS IN “NO LONGER AVAILABLE”. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THIS PAIR OF SWEATPANTS. YOUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP CAN NOT OBTAIN ONE OF THESE AT ANY PRICE… WELL THEY COULD, BUT A PREMIUM WOULD BE ASKED AS ANOTHER PORSCHE DEALERSHIP MIGHT HAVE ONE OR TWO HANGING AROUND AND WOULD ASK FOR A PREMIUM AS THEY TOO KNOW IT LISTED AS AN “NLA” ITEM… SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE COSTS SIMPLY ADD UP….. IF ONE WAS EVEN OBTAINABLE. FEAR NOT, AT LEAST FOR NOW YOU’LL GET THESE GREAT SWEATPANTS AT A DISCOUNT OFF OF THE LAST PUBLISHED ASKING PRICE. THESE SWEATPANTS ARE LISTED HERE IN USA SIZES ONLY AND ALL SIZES ARE TRUE TO THAT SIZE. EURO SIZES ARE SIMPLY ONE (1) SIZE LARGER THEN WHAT IS LISTED HERE. LET’S LOOK AT A USA SIZE LARGE (L). ACCORDING TO PAG AND THEIR SIZING CHART (AND LABEL) THIS WOULD BE EQUATE TO A EURO SIZE EXTRA LARGE (XL). THE PORSCHE ITEM NUMBER FOR THIS SIZE WOULD BE AND IS: WAP. THE WAP IS INDICATIVE OF A STOCKED NUMBER, THE NEXT SEQUENCE…. 211 IS THE ITEM ITSELF FOLLOWED BY THE SIZE (FROM XS 4XL) HERE IT’S 0XL AND THIS IS FOLLOWED BY 0L THE YEAR IT WAS OFFERED/RELEASED (IN CODE) AND LASTLY UEX IS FOR URBAN EXPLORER. THE ABOVE EXAMPLE IS FOR A USA MAN’S SIZE LARGE OF COURSE, THIS IS THE ONLY SIZE I DO NOT HAVE!! ONCE AGAIN THE ABOVE EXAMPLE ARE FOR SWEATPANTS ARE MEASURED IN A MAN’S SIZE USA LARGE, THIS IS SHOWN ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE LABEL ON EACH AND EVERY PAIR OF SWEATPANTS. THESE SWEATPANTS ARE MADE FROM A NICE BLEND OF SYNTHETIC MATERIALS: 68% POLYESTER, 25% VISCOSE AND 7% ELASTANE. CHANCES ARE PRETTY GOOD THAT THESE WILL NOT SHRINK DUE TO THE FACT THAT ALL OF THE MATERIALS USED HERE ARE, ONCE AGAIN, MANMADE MATERIALS. THE PORSCHE LOGO, IN SCRIPT APPEARS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE PANTS, JUST BELOW THE BELT LINE AND ON THE INSIDE OF THE SEAM. THIS IS DONE IN A NICE REFLECTIVE APPLIQUE. THESE PANTS HAVE NICE REGULAR DEPTH FRONT POCKETS AND A REAR POCKET WHICH ZIPPERS CLOSED. THE MATERIAL IS THAT OF A THICKER, STRETCHY MATERIAL MAKING THESE GREAT FOR YEAR ROUND USE. WHAT MAKES THESE SWEATPANTS UNIQUE IS THE BEHIND THE KNEES YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT STYLE OF MATERIAL BEING USED. THIS IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE HEAT AND SWEAT TO ESCAPE WHILE ALLOWING NEW AIR IN TO COOL, REFRESH AND DRY YOUR LEGS. THIS MATERIAL IS THE SAME AS THE REST OF THESE SWEATPANTS ONLY THEY HAVE BEEN FABRICATED TO ALLOW TINY HOLES TO BE DESIGNED INTO THE PATTERN. PLEASE REFER TO MY PICTURES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS FEATURE/DESIGN. I HAVE A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY OF THESE AND ALL OF WHAT I HAVE IS NOT CURRENTLY SHOWN. I DO HAVE SOME BACK UP BUT MY INVENTORY IS VERY SHALLOW ON THESE SWEATPANTS. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC QUESTION OR CONCERN, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME DEALINGS WITH SOME VERY UNSCRUPULOUS BUYERS WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE, “DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS”. ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR THIS REALLY NICELY DESIGNED ” PORSCHE DESIGN ” URBAN EXPLORER COLLECTION T-SHIRT IN OLIVE GREEN.
