Yes, it's a real krama, actually two tied together, I bought 10 at the Russian market this morning. It was hard to find a black and white one, I tried 4-5 stalls before finding the right ones. It's was quite a bitch trying to figure out how to wrap it and look right though.

I'm telling you, the rigid strummers are the only good cap e product I've seen....and they are really nice. better denim than any of the other pieces, and probably the nicest fit Levi's has come up with in the last 5 years. For Fall, they are introducing more fits (skinny, carrot leg, etc...)

Red is still around, it's now the lower priced product of the 2....

Just picked up a pair @ the levi's store in sf...for 138.00 they are pretty nice. NOT selvedge, but a really nice cross-hatchy greenish casted denim that isn't too rough...strummer slim fit is really nice.

That tee was made BY SUPREME in memory of Vanilla, who didn't work @ Supreme, but was part of the crew...he passed away a few years ago...

Duffer

Lee Store on Carnaby

Dover Street Market

LVC is designed in the US.

Cap E has NOTHING to do with LVC.

YES, there is a spring '06 line.

oh yes, they have every bag in stock: duffle, laptop, backpack....i think that's it.

went today, only Supreme tees they had was the larry clark tee with the kid holding the gun.... had a few box caps, a few new eras (not interested in that shit myself). They did have zip and pullover hoodies, 3/4 styles. copped a savage skulls baseball tee...the funniset thing I saw was a kid in there wearing tow different dunks....hilarious.

Staff is mad cool.

Union on the other hand has a BUNCH of good stuff right now, Neighborhood, wtaps, visvim....

Is union back to being next to stussy on la brea? I know they moved for a minute to re-do the store.

THANKS.

there's a really cool and styley naivety to those pics that white trash glam rock kids in the states just can't pull off.

I live in SF, well, Pacifica, now, and I'll let you in on a little secret: Alameda Discount Center in Alameda. Try Yahoo Yellow Pages for the addy. GREAT Spot.

vintagetrends.com is great also.

That's a great site.

Finnish kids LOVE them some Hanoi Rocks.

go find some authentic military chinos from a vintage surplus store.

THanks! I'm there next month, but for 2 or 3 daze of whirlwind shopping for work, and I know my way around shibuya, harajuku, daikanyama (sP?) pretty well, but not so much aoyama...i heard blackflag isn't the easiest to find, but i have a general idea now.

RATS, I believe, is a new line associated with Tenderloin. REALLY nice tees (mostly black w/ white graphics, but every design I've seen is fresh and new and not something inspired by something already out there. I'm pretty sure it's right by eYe.

where exactly is tab device and base station?

Did you hit Made in the World? I know they are one of the few (if not only) that carries RATS, very dope new line (Tenderloin related?)...

Paul,

There is actually a tiny resurgence of oe/oe, esp. with the 80's retro thing happening. I had a funny conversation with the Cone Denim product developer the other day about it and we were discussing the whole thing...

I actually thought that this was a thread about the Cone Denim 101 class that they hold in NC.

There's one word that makes APC good:

FIT.

here's some more:

Denim MC (motorcycle club) vests

60's biker movies

old magic posters (Houdini, Carter the Great, etc...)

the quilts of gees bend

bad patching

buffed walls

angkor wat

Alameda Discount Center

The Presidio

WWII bomber nose art

Roy Lichtenstein

black tees with white print

80's era Alva team (when you had to have dreads to be on the team)

in no particular order, and just a smattering:

Lenny McGurr (Futura)

Blade Runner

Deadwood

Neil Young's denim

Tet

Shin

Kostas Seremetis

All military (esp. vintage and other countries than the US) clothing

Hardy Blechman

mechanics

Errolson Hugh

1940's smaller label workwear

LS&Co. Archives

No Direction Home (Dylan documentary)

yakuza tats

Steve Power's art (espo)

the color black

nuts (the japanese sign-painter)
