classic

to poster higher up who again recommended aa - they do NOT use metal zippers, which i want.

as for their quality, and the alleged marketing ploy - they do pay their employees a fair wage for the work. this is a weird thread with some people getting insensed over walmart, and then others saying who cares about buying from a humane company. very confused. the $15 for the plain tee is realistic when you're not making chinese children do the work for 50 cents an hour... or day, depending on what you read.

the advantages of american apparel are zero markings/labels, very soft cotton, long fitting styles, limited selection of styles in extensive color options (fun when you want 15 of the same shirt in different colors). their colored shirts are terrific, and their slim fit california sweats are the best i've ever found. some of their tees have a flimsy finish and some do not, depends on the style you pick. also, their thermals are nice.

it appears that they only sell in bulk. i'm an individual, just want a damn hoodie (walmart sweatshirt was perfect in several ways BUT did not have drawstring hood and sleeves were a little short though the body was the right size).

first purchase from walmart, fyi to the hysterical posters. i don't live near one. i hope anti-walmart posters don't merely rely on big media to inform them of corrupt corporations, but diligently do their own research so as to be consistently responsible consumers and not part-time soap-box hypocrits.

aa doesn't use metal zippers.

are they available on-line? donde?

listen up and listen good - take her to specchio (it's off of bloor, down the street from davids - another good idea), just bordering yorkville area. google the name and you'll get the address (they have a toronto and montreal store). not from there but was visiting recently and it's fa buu lus!

very $$, but maybe you can convert her to your fashionable ways.

jerzees blue hoodie, green tretorn rain boots, red red lip gloss by delux beauty. so glad someone asked. ; )

jerzees at walmart.com. under $9, great colors. feels really soft but it's 50/50 and absolutely crazy warm. i wear it with my yohji jeans and it looks amazing. best value for $ (quality-wise).

best thing is the classic metal zip. american apparel hoodies feel junky since they're nylon or whatever.

ps it's not thermal lined - but since it's 50/50, like i said, crazy warm. wore it today with a thermal underneath and nearly passed out, had to take it off. i always buy 100% cotton so this was a leap of faith for me, but another supershopper actually recommended it, so i jumped. very soft, feels 100%, but too warm to be. bought boys XL for a close fit.

completely serius.

i bought the largest boy size. found the exact color i wanted too.

totally forgot about them.

freakin' perfect, PERFECT. just placed an order with walmart. thanks.

just a plain hoodie with a metal silver zipper? web would be great.

converse allstar lowcut

y's for men with a 7inch cuff

aa t shirt

flu's ear zip-up sweatshirt

yeah they look good. i just need something that oozes more style.

i will have to hit the army surplus stores, you're right. just really wanted something in that vein that had been worked over, with studs or some details.

thanks though!

in cotton canvas. other post was misleading - NOT seeking bike messenger bag.

thanks

i got really excited by that name and was picturing studs or something (that would be heaven!).

by canvas i mean old-school, like army field bag canvas - the cotton stuff not treated bike messenger gear. i've used timbuk2, etc.

adsurgo - how long ago is "used to"? do i have a snowball's chance of finding a pair?

leather details are nice. something to sling across the chest, not enormous, but generous proportions. definitely not some little bag. a crescent shape would be perfection! online would be ideal. anyone up for the challenge of finding this?

bottega veneta

DElighted to hear it. are you familiar with the price range i should expect?

does yohji make a raw denim? crazy horse does nice detail, but i prefer doing the work myself.

I have seen the Iron Hearts 21oz in a recent thread and they look great although someone stated that the rise was kinda low.

I am basing my opinion of a high rise to an Evisu or LVC 1944 because these are my favorite jeans that I currently own as of now.

Are Sugarcanes or 45rpms cut the same as the LVC 1944s? if so what models?

Whats your definition of low and high rise? Let me know your waist size and I'll let you know the rise of the IronHearts

--- Original message by Heavy Denim on Sep 9, 2005 12:58 AM

thanks for your email -i'm about to open the attachment you sent me, but my size is 30w in levis 517, and 28 in yohji yamamoto (or 2)... and 27 in cycle. go figure. i would like to know the rise of the ironhearts in my waist size - though i'm interested in bootcut, and silversurfer is not. thanks

I heard the same about discontinuation of regular STF 501's in Canada by ppl. from levi's themselves. Its imposible to find them in small small sizes as is, and soon enough they will be gone all together. It is totally true that there is not such a big market for Dry/Rigid denim. Guess they only want to leave it to their Vintage line.

--- Original message by alej on Sep 8, 2005 07:06 PM

are the rigid vintage levis any good?

i grew up on 501 stf. kind of unbelievable.

it's great, the crazy horse work and everything, but i would rather a plain pair (by y).

geowu - i liked the gold boots today. did you hit the b. warehouse sale last week?
