I reached out to Attitude Supply about the possibility of getting a custom version of the ATD1 backpack made—keeping the exact same construction, just using different materials. Specifically, I want Ultra 400 for the main fabric, UltraStretch for the pockets, and Ultra Ten for the inner lining.
Their founder, Michele, got in touch with the Italian factory that manufactures their packs and offered me a deal: I can order a single custom unit for €950, or if I find other people who want in, the price drops to €800 per bag for two units, and €650 per bag for three.
If anyone is interested, shoot me a DM. The deadline is in one month.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/11/opinion/jensen-huang-leather-jacket.html?unlocked_article_code=1.QFE.czAT.3Tq9Q9hR2mER&smid=url-share Somewhere in this silly op-ed it is sort of articulated why I haven’t worn my leather jacket much anymore - it’s hard to steer clear of the associations it can bring, even if I can muster my best not caring sort of day. At the same time I see that some of the pseudo psychobabble about clothing and its’ meaning could conceivably transfer over to denim jackets 😃 … (of which I have no current plants to abandon!)
The NYT, in particular their main fashion columnist loves to map this sort of quasi-academic but not actually evidence based theorizing onto how people dress to a degree I find pretty entertaining. Which, I guess, is probably the point. Touché.

We've resisted this for 23 years but reluctantly it's now a necessity in order to keep the site online. This has been discussed in this thread.
Existing paid up members, supersellers, and supermembers, who've signed up during 2025 will be exempt for 12 months from purchase date.

First round offer January 2026:

Subsequent offers will be at a higher fee so lock in early!
You will automatically upgrade from your currentmemberstatus to supermember

Businesses who want to promote their brand and products need to become a supersponsor. superfuture® is privately owned and has been online continuously for 26 years. supertalk has been online for 23 years and is a digital cockroach that will (possibly) survive all current and future apocalypses.
