Beanie / The Northface / Stronghold / TCB 50s / Eastland by Rancort

Got out for a hike w my partner in Western Michigan at the dunes out by Lake Michigan. Absolutely one of my favorite places in the world, and people on the coasts barely think about it, which is grateful for. Feat Tender 900 and SC Edo Ai

Another wash, another update.

same next door here in Nz , everything butter is my go to. Don’t recommend the other concoction though, that’s an unwanted gifted from someone that figured I love coffee so I’d like this. but best peanut butter I ever had was from a hippie shop in Brixton that made their own, also made glutard bread so it was my one stop food shop for the minute I lived there.

Awesome!.. have you got it built up @reallypeacedoff ? I did ride yeah.. it's mainly MTB for me these days though.. when my kid was little i pushed him towards BMX, his first bike was this 16" Sunday Li'll Spark Here i am in full CSF tux teaching him how to bunny hop ..alas, i may have pushed too hard and he discovered gears and turned to the darkside My boyhood BMX track is only a short ride away from where we live so i do still hit the track.. http://bolehills.com/our-track/ albeit on my old jump bike rather than BMX.

I'm selling this rare shirt that was released as a promotion for the well known 3rdarm acronym bags. Condition 9/10 no holes or fading. Looking for $160. If you have any questions or want specific pictures feel free to dm me.

Of course @Dr_Heech! Pretty sure Flash posted the 70’s pair before I took them off his hand. I’ll sort the other ones out when I find the time. Thanks @reallypeacedoff. I always enjoyed having a look at different brands and see what I like (and not like). These days I just wear the pairs I like the most. Probably won’t go into another new brand, except if I finally decide to start something myself.

Hell yeah! Gotta start them when they are young! Jim C and Sunday, nice! The plan is to build it up eventually (I have T1 bars, some shiny new Profile cranks and hubs ready) but I have no space for another bike. Already got 3 and the girls and no space. So the frame is currently an office ornament. I am also on the MTB train too. Picked this up a couple of years ago (this was the day I got it, so plenty banged up now). Love it, 140 front and 125 rear so it has that BMX snappy feeling to it.

We've just been over to see our friends new puppy.. 'Mavis' Photos arn't great.. this is the only way i could keep her still Pretty damn cute!

I've been outta the game for a couple years, the ACR staples (not too aggro, less out there) are always pragmatic and enticing, yet I primarily used to admire ACR for its complex patternmaking, where some of the pieces synergize varying fit styles/ eras/ pattern blocks. As I try to come up to speed with the last couple years , I've been looking through their catalog for the most interesting pieces in terms of patternmaking, 3D silhouettes, etc. As far as jackets, I see that the J86 is clearly seemingly a cut above the rest (patternmaking complexity). J120 looks very interesting too For pants, the P44 looks to be very interesting on the bottom half as well (changed from the p24 i assume). P38 look like one to note , but hard to tell from the all black. Since I won't be able to see the full catalog in person anytime soon, can anyone with similar tastes point out some pieces from last couple years that really impressed you in terms of patternmaking? I understand there are numerous aspects of garment design, but oftentimes-- IMO one can see how much effort and development was put into a garment from examining this particular aspect.

^ that looks really nice

What a cutie!

Part 1 (continued next page) "TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF" A story about 1984 jeans. And now for something completely different... Bit of a ramble coming...but also some obscure and not so obscure denim history. So way back in 1998- 1999 I was still skating every day. While buying fresh wheels I noticed a new pair of jeans, a denim jacket, along with a promo video, had showed up at my local skate shop. The video was called "Let It Bleed" and the company was called 1984. The video was raw and rough and the skaters were very hesh, with a punk and metal soundtrack, opening up with Devo's "Gut Feeling" and featuring bootleg clips from crime movies in between the skating, I was instantly sold. The jeans themselves were like a vintage 501 cut from a very hatchy yet soft washed denim with a dirty oil wash, slight taper and red stitching on the outseam to simulate a selvage line. Even had a red tab in the right spot that read "1984" and the button fly had vintage donut buttons. The inner tag announced that they were proudly Made in USA with "American hands" and invited the owner to wear them "Until the wheels came off". Vaguely hot rod inspired skate jeans made in the U.S.A. with an edgy name? Of course I had to have them. Now keep in mind that the premium denim explosion had not yet blown up and the fledgling Levis Vintage Clothing was barely 2 years old. The Japanese were already going full speed but the internet was not what it is today and access was very limited and retro inspired lines were not a dime a dozen yet. I think I has heard of "Evis" or EVISU but wouldn't know how to begin finding a pair. So these fit the bill. I wore them like a vintage pair, with big turn ups and Chucks. I opened them up on Christmas Day 1999 along with my fresh wheels and a new Toy Machine beanie (pictured here with my son, age 2) I still have the jeans stored away somewhere ( they were actually never great for skating) but never got the denim jacket which was basically a Levi's type 1 with different tags. Notice the selvedge edge! Found one for sale on Depop but I'm not dropping $200 on it. Shown below: Did anyone notice the branding on the copper donut buttons? Look closer. Yes. THAT Von Dutch. Of low rise flares and $100 trucker cap fame. But French designer Christian Audigier had not yet been brought on board and the ubiquitous trucker cap was still a few years from infamy. Of course I knew who Von Dutch the artist was but had no idea why his name was on my jeans. Yet. As far as I was concerned this just added to the retro vibe of the pants. But the whole planet was about to find out what the deal was. Let's back up. The company Von Dutch originally started when the family of pin striper Kenny Howard, better known as Von Dutch, sold the rights to his name to a local businessman named Ed Boswell who started out selling flying eyeball patches and eventually a clothing line that leaned into the California hot rod/garage/retro/motorcycle subculture vibe that Von Dutch was a part of. An early patch highlighting the retro garage vibe that Von Dutch launched with: At some point very early on they decided to do a skateboarding line and that is what the 1984 brand was all about. The skate line was very short lived (maybe just one or two releases and many of the skaters would go on to form the Piss Drunx and later Baker Skateboards) and eventually the company would change hands altogether and the retro hot rod vibe would be almost entirely replaced by something much more garish and blingy after French designer Christian Audigier took over creative control in 2002 and the original owners were sidelined or forced out. Below is an example of the over the top designs that Audigier popularized. By 2003 the hats were suddenly everywhere in every color combo and iteration. And since the trucker cap is an easy to wear piece of iconic Americana, everyone got in in it. PUNK'D era Ashton Kutcher sticks out in my mind for some reason but when Brittany Spears was seen on the cover of People wearing one, they exploded overnight. There is a pretty lengthy and entertaining documentary on Netflix about the rise and fall of Von Dutch as trendy high fashion that covers most of this so I won't go into too much detail here but like most trends, eventually the trucker hats lost popularity and when news of Kenny Howards's racist and Nazi sympathies came to light the brand , now derided as Von Douche, faded into obscurity. Apparently the name and hats have been trying to make a come back recently and although I'm hoping it fails for a second time we are about to experience a wave of Y2K nostalgia that might give them a boost. Next get ready for dirty denim to make a return! Now if I could just find a used hat cheap enough I would definitely start wearing it just for the shits n giggles. Ironically, after VD collapsed Audigier would go on to replicate that success by licensing and then bastardizing another infamous American artist with even more garish dreck: ED HARDY. While I think Kenny Von Dutch Howard was Notsee scum who probably deserved to have his name dragged through the mud, Ed Hardy is an American icon whose work as a tattoo pioneer will forever be overshadowed by very ugly bedazzled t shirts. But before all that we had a humble clothing line just fiding their identity and trying to carve out a little niche for themselves lmaking vintage inspired denim in the City of Angels a few years before the floodgates of premium denim opened up full bore and terms like raw denim and selvedge were still obscure terms. If you read all the way to the end of this thank you for listening to me ramble and thank you for your time. I will be following this up with a much shorter post of me wearing a pair of recently aquired dead stock Von Dutch jeans that I found and challenged myself to style. Below: A hopelessly ugly pair of pocket-less women's Von Douche denim with far too many patches.

I had the same thought with you at the beginning. But now I personally take P30AL over P15. Bought it for 20% off on the drop day lol

Ive just stuck a new roof on the wood shed before i fill it with logs for the winter.. ..old roof ..peeled the felt off ..new ply roof ..i can't wrap xmas prezzies.. apparently? but i seem to be incredibly good at neatly wrapping a pitched roof with lots of angles? ..maybe it's one of those wanker things that men do.. convincing women that only they can multitask whereas we can't because we're just useless men.. therefore it makes more sense that you do the bulk of the household chores because you can do them all at once in a tenth of the time.. if i was to do them all singularly it would take me all weekend!? ..men eh?, i've got our number I had enough felt to do the shed too ..the facias were rotten but it was the Sheffield half marathon today so our road was closed to cars.. .. zip-tied one of the facias to the bike ..and rode to work.. past this sweet van ..made 4 new'uns and rode back home
