  1. thanks wild_whiskey! that is a compliment :) the jeans are 3 inches too long in the inseam. Basically I try to preserve the creases as they are... I don't fold them, I hang them. As much as I can, I let the bottom the way it is, preserving the original creases. Starch can help define them creases... spray a lot in the bottom of the jeans and put pressure on the creases while your wearing them. Ow, and I plan to get them hemmed once the wear marks are visible enough.

    Google Takes Over The World

    ...and renders it as a 3D map, of course, with today's debut of the next step in its map offerings, Google Earth.

    The latest offering from Google called Google Earth brings an added dimension to its otherwise excellent online map service. The latest project draws from Google's purchase of Keyhole Corp, a map making concern.

    Based on that Keyhole technology, Google Earth lets visitors see a 3D representation of an area, based on satellite and aerial photos. That imagery consists of photos taken over the past three years. The majority of images Google has in its database are of the United States.

    Thirty-eight US cities have buildings represented in 3D; these would be what Google considers the major urban areas of the country. Many more cities in the US, as well as some in Western Europe, Canada, and the U.K., show detail for individual buildings on Google Earth.

    Google says it has thousands of high-resolution photos, showing detail of greater than one meter. The search engine company plans to continue updating its database with more images on a regular basis.

    To see the Google Earth images, Google requires users to download a piece of viewer software to their local machine. A 3D-capable graphics card, like those from Nvidia, ATI, Matrox, and others, should work fine. Google advises that Intel 3D machines can use the default OpenGL version but work better if Google Earth is started in DirectX.

    Google has made the base version of Google Earth available for free. Two upgrade options, Plus for home and personal use, and Pro for commercial use, require an annual subscription to be purchased.

    Could it be that Superfuture could benefit from this technology?

  3. hey wild_whiskey, you sure they are Ecru? I have an ecru pair that looks a lot more yellowish than them, the Nudies look like they have white warps but yeah, of course you should know it.

  4. A pair of Dior Homme jeans is around $200 for dry denim and some $400 to $700 for the different types of distressed or coated denim. As I understand it is still made of Japanese high-quality denim and hand-distressed?

  5. Yeah, Nudie marketing is pretty good.

    Their worn-jeans pics (which maybe look a little better than reality) got me into dry denim.

    The site has a very nice concept, particularly the fit-guide.

    It's overpriced... it could cost much less. Their selvage denim is good quality, however, and it costs about the same as Dior Homme, Pace, Julian Red and many Japanese brands.

  6. I ordered a bespoke wallet made with ostrich brown leather, because I like thin wallets than can go inside a jean pocket, and few wallets are thin. It costed me some U$65, but the craftsmanship and the leather are not top-quality. Maybe you can get something similar in your country.
