6 g's.

but then again, aI have a 600 g house loan too, so it doesn't seem too bad.

My tax return will take care of my credit card PLUS though.

I'm urgently trying to track down some gear that is only available in Harajuku @ Made In World. A line of (mostly) tees called Rats. Do you think you could help me out?

Senior Designer at an iconic denim brand...

Oh, I'm not talking about collabs, I'm talking about OWNERSHIP.

They don't call it "Old Slavery" for Nothin' (I know if you interview(ed) in SF, it's an Old Navy position). I know MANY people in the design department @ Gap/Old Navy, and have heard a couple of things:

BIG egos with the higher ups. Can cause some frustration if you are a senior designer or below...

Everyone who I know that works there works ALOT. Over 50 hours a week.

A few people that I know that work there say it's a really fun place to work.

Qutie a few people moved over to Gap from Levi's when they moved back out to SF. A LOT of them came back after a year or less.

Hope this helps.

I'm just gonna put a name out there, just to stir the pot:

Pony.

Monster Magnet-Nod Scene

Sleep - Dragonaut

Sleep- Dopesmoker

Hey Man,

Is the Rats logo on the hoody embroidered? I think I might have to have that hoody....

not too much for me this year,

Red Wing 8130

Black Base Control tee

Five-O tee

What It Is Rhino Funk Compilation

Om Variations on A Theme CD

Sony 30G HD Camcorder

CampbellsXAndy Warhol soup cans

Ricky Bobby DVD

A dehumidifier

Found is nice, but I think that MRKT, the previous book that alife did with cone is a bit more interesting to me. MRKT is more about collectors, their favorite pieces, and the Rosebowl Swap Meet/Flea.

MAGGOT BRAIN!

One of Michael Hampton's shining moments

Minya,

Recon SF only got ONE GTJ-11 in...the one I ordered. Sorry.

Just got my GT J-11 (the blazer style) yesterday, and it fuckin' ROCKS. Definitely a new direction for ACR. Prices ARE pretty retarded, so I limit myself to one piece per season. These jackets are cut slimmer than the less "fashion" styles, so, yeah, the XL fits more like a Large, and slimmer cut through the sides.

Another amazing season.

The zip hoodies and Epic cotton jackets are going to be available at Recon SF VERY soon. Don't know if they have out them out on the floor yet.

How would YOU improve on their designs?

Although I love both (w)taps and Acronym, and although they are both military influenced. They a kind of apples and oranges. Designs are drastically different, fabrics are drastically different. Quality for both, IN GENERAL, is on point. I do have to say though that I have had a few pair of (w)taps BDU's that have ripped in the same exact spot, and have seen it happen to others in the same exact spot: wearer's right back side to the left of the back pocket flap.

Anyone that has access to the site and posts pics is in jeapordy of not being able to order, or retain future access to the site, so I, for one will not be posting pics.

BUT, the "blazer" that is on the site for Sring 2007 is very similar to the jacket, if not the same, as the one coming out for Fall 2006. Can't wait for that one.

As far as the bags go, I would HIGHLY recommend them. Incredible quality, and unique.

ACR is definitely not for heads that have low bank account balances. Consider the brand an investment. i have nothing but compliments for Errolson & Co.

co-sign on the douche-baggery. That's some bullshit right there...

Acronym (the f/w 06/07 line looks amazing!)

super:

nice blackhawks. I just picked up a pair of the hemp/cotton blackhawks that I'm rocking right now. really nice for the super sticky Cambodian weather I'm in at the moment...

Levi's DID own looms (see Valencia Street Plant that closed down years ago, and sold off most of thier fly shuttle looms to Japanese).

The Bayon wasn't toooo bad, I went there first thing, but Ta Phrom(sp?) was packed and Angkor Wat was, well, as you'd expect by the end of the day, as I was leaving it was CRAZY crowded. I need more than one day there next time, but it was an AMAZING experience. I was psyched that I went by myself and not with any kind of group, I feel emotionally/ spiritually different after the visit...and I'm not that kind of person.

It's DEFINITELY zoo'd out...there needs to be some regulation.
