  1. Yeah, the most recent version is a far cry from the originals. They've been steadily declining in quality over the years, but the differences were usually subtle and tolerable.

    In addition to the plastic buttons as mentioned, the fabric is now considerably thinner and softer. The originals had a nice weight and rigidity to them. They're also a bit baggier, especially from the knee to the leg opening.

    For $40, they're not bad, but no where near what they once were.

  2. The rug seems pretty lame and not particularly well designed.

    The 'O' in Robert Indiana's "Love" piece is tilted to fit within the square. The 'U' on the rug is tilted to match that style, but doesn't work the same way.

    Plus, it's been done countless times before. The Hundreds did a lame version of the same thing for a t-shirt about five years or so ago. And, unless you're 18, who wants a rug that says "Fuck" in your house?

  3. Didn't buy a shirt, but $48 seems like an appropriate price. Although they probably could have sold just as many at $98 a pop.

    Hope a significant portion goes to the Japanese relief effort.

  4. is it just me or does it seem like there are more releases this season? (ie a release pretty much every week)

    Seems like that's the direction they're going with things. Past couple of seasons have been like that, but not at this frequency.

    It's pretty smart. They probably get a lot more sales with this approach.
