I think I'm posting too often

More posts the better for me as long as they're not the same outfit.

Good to have a faster moving thread.

Le Laboureur jacket - I love this jacket but every time I take a pic I'm really disappointed. IRL it is actually quite loose and has a nice 70s open prison vibe to it but in pics it seems to be the least flattering thing I own  I think it might be exactly the wrong length

My last BMX (S&M)

We used to get a guest list in exchange for BMX flyering, this would have been 2000/2001, J.Rawls was playing at Phonetics...

Nice, currently riding a 22" S&M when I'm out with my daughter.

Bit different today,taking my daughter to her swimming lesson so thought I'd break this track top out.

Three cheers for fitting into old denim again! Same boat and I'm swimming in vintage jeans . 

I got too fat for most of my jeans and sort of lost interest for a long time, still bought clothes but it didn't seem worth spending loads on jeans when I kept thinking I would lose weight at some point.

Finally got round to it end of last year, mainly because I'd been running for quite a while and felt I would enjoy it so much more if I could just lose a bit of weight.

Long way to go yet but it's been like suddenly getting a wardrobe worth thousands with all the stuff I can wear now

^^ the type 1 looks well loved. Very nice. 

It's a really nice wash, got it off eBay but ended up chatting quite a lot with the seller.

Apparently it had some sort of resin coating originally which was designed to make it fade quicker/in a nicer way.

I've actually got the matching 47 501s, just waiting to get them hemmed as they're pretty long. Another pair that have been in storage that I can now fit into 

Absolutely love the jacket though, very few LVC denim jackets that fit big enough to be loose on me. Got a Valencia Street one too that fits quite a bit shorter.

@generic_guy Are you aware of the 50s model Jelado makes? No wonky pockets on those! 

Is that the 55 model?

They look nice but there is something about the age of longing version that caught my imagination.

I should probably wear the jeans I already have a bit more before buying anything else TBH but cheers for the info.

Not sure where to put this but thought it might help some people on here, I know it works in the UK but may work in US too.

If you have a Library card you can download the PressReader app for free, when you sign in you can read magazines through the app.

Clutch is probably the most appropriate for here but also has Lightning and 2nd and various others.

They look great, be good to see them worn.

Sunray are nice tees really soft and comfortable and sizings good too 

Just seen this thread and wanted to second this.

Blurb about them;

"There is absolutely nothing basic about these awesome Sunray Sportswear (formerly Revolver) plain t-shirts. Made from a heavyweight jersey (260gsm) they will stand the test of time and the low yarn count offers a sumptuous and luxurious softness that you just don't find elsewhere. The Haleiwa style uses recycled cotton from cotton combing and when this is formed into yarn it helps to give these tees their trademark fluffy feel and unique uneveness. And believe it or not, they become even softer with wear!

The style is produced on an antique loopwheel knitting machine in Japan (one of 2 left in the world!) and this allows for the tee to have no side seam, whilst the slow knitting process produces no stress on the yarn so it will almost never go out of shape. The fit is traditional and has been given a little extra in the length to its predecesor, to create a style that will never go out of fashion. There is also no external branding to name or date the piece. The angle of the sleeve and the neck ribbing offer a classic 50's look, back when a t-shirt was made well enough to stand alone and be the epitome of style."

I have six of their tees now and absolutely love them. They keep their shape when washing, feel amazing and the design of them is pretty much exactly what I want from a tee.

Cons of the brand: Quite pricey at £60 a tee (absolutely worth it though), limited choice of colours and in an ideal world they would make a size 48 so I could get looser fit ones too.

They also make long sleeved versions and sweatshirts but I have yet to try these.

Unfortunately the web site seems to be quite out of date for US stockists, plenty of UK ones though.

Wearing the wonky pocket jelados 

They look good here, and everything I've read about them makes them sound great, and they do them n a size 40 stf but I keep coming back to the pockets

@generic_guy your pic has done a disappearing act again matey (at least for me)

Cheers, no idea what's going on TBH, postimage normally works great for me. Just hosted it again, is it showing now?

Nice! those LVC on the previous page were £20 from TK Maxx

Bargain. I had a pair of buckle back LVC I got from TK Maxx, due to a mix up my wife sold them at a car boot for £2.50 

They're the highs but I have a pair of the lows too.

Highs I got online, no bots, no raffle, just went online when they were going on sale. Those were the days...

Got the lows from TK Maxx for £30 though which was even better.

Stash Air Max look fantastic, I had the Stash AF1s possibly my all time favourite shoe but I stored them in an attic and a rat ate the toebox of one of them 

Bit weird, I've deleted the pic and re-added, any better?

Bit different today apart from the LVCs
