  1. I know this has been posted to death before, but I'm curious to see if anyone has pics of ED-47's that they've worn in. I just picked up a pair myself and wanted to know if they'd give a good contrast down the line

  2. As far as the fashion industry goes, isn't streetwear more or less what types of trends are going on with normal consumers, as opposed to so-called "runway" fashion (which is often coture, or custom made i.e. not meant for mass production)? My gf, who's a textiles and apparel major (and pretty much the reason why I frequent this board :P) explained to me once the complex relationship between runway fashion and streetwear. It's sometimes hard to tell who's getting inspiration from whom. I know that back in the early 20th century, it was mostly the big fahsion houses (Chanel, etc.) that dictated what was stylish and what wasn't... but that's quickly changing. Now it's not uncommon for a so-called luxury brand, like gucci or versace, to be getting inspiration from subcultures (i.e. Punk, most recently) and putting it out on the runway...

    Interesting stuff, no?

    I know it's crazy, but gay people do lurk here and, gasp, even post from time to time.

    oh, and chiseled abs and nearly naked men have been (pretty effectively) selling shit to straight men for a few years now... doesn't make it gay porn.

    it's true... just look at any A&F catalog. Doesn't stop it from selling like wildfire to the frat boy crowd.

  4. Hey guys,

    Figure I'd throw this out for all the denim heads... anybody know cool jean brands for women? I was looking into buying something nice for my gf cuz I feel bad for oggling all of these high quality jeans all the time when SHE'S the one who's the Textiles major icon_smile_tongue.gif

    thanks

  5. I have to admit, at first I was kinda apprehensive about picking up a pair, but then I saw one on sale for $40 at Nordstrom Rack up in Oregon... it was pretty hard for me to refuse a $40 pair of super soft, well fitting jeans.

    I'd NEVER pay more than that for a pair icon_smile_tongue.gif

  6. Just picked up a pair off of eBay, love the fit and the color (esp. the contrast of the denim and the stitching) Here's my question: Do any of you know if they fade at all like raw denim? I'm not so sure that type 1s are raw because the denim feels super soft... I was hoping I'd get to wear them 6 months and come out with a beautifully broken pair of jeans like the rest of you guys :)

  7. Hey guys, I'm new here... looked through one of the threads and saw that hot maharishi camo hoody on their site. Does anybody know where I can get other hoodys with ninja closures? Preferably something a little (i.e. A LOT) cheaper?

    Thanks
