There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

I've been thinking about making this post for awhile, but I just looked at the drop for the Loake 1880 Kempton Chukka Boots, and all I could think was, "big-footed people are on Massdrop, too!"
I'm 6'4" and wear a 15D shoe. Like most people with big feet, I gave up on being able to go into a brick and mortar store to buy a pair of shoes off the shelf a long time ago, and pretty much exclusively buy them online. Luckily in the past few years this has become less of a problem, and now sites like Zappos, Amazon, and Nordstoms have large selections of shoes available in sizes north of 13.
And yet, I've had a lot of trouble finding shoes on Massdrop that would actually fit me. Massdrop, this doesn't make any sense! The entire point of your business model is that manufacturers know the exact quantities and sizes of the clothes they're supplying. They don't need to worry about huge boxes of unsold size 15 shoes crowding up their warehouses because they only need to make enough to cover the order. I really like Massdrop, and I've found a lot of cool things here, but clothing, sadly, has not been one of them.
Please, Massdrop, big-footed people are on here, too!
