  1. Years ago I had that experience of having stank feet from not wearing sock in my shoes, since then I've always wore socks. But this last summer I pretty much didn't wear socks with my shoes all summer, I just made sure I rotated 6-7 different pairs so I can let them breathe.

  2. Hi, I'm normally in the denim section of the forum, but I thought I would post up a link to my new website:

    www.breakingbreadsessions.com

    It's a podcast where my buddy Matt and I have a meal with a person in the creative industry and just tape the conversation.

    I thought people in Superfuture might be interested because the first episode is with Brian Mendoza of Wings+Horns.

    There's some stories about the dayton boot, where he gets his inspiration from things like that.

  3. Thought I would post a pic up of the patch on my Californians. It was soaked in really hot water. The patch lost some of the red which looks pretty cool to me. Probably won't start wearing them for a little while, I gotta give my other jeans some more wears first

  4. I found these Sugar Canes at a thrift store a year or so ago. Thought I would post some pics of them. They're non selvage, it's a pretty baggy fit. Anybody got any info on these?

    My home-made response to Flat Head's $70 key chain:

    I think I might do another one when I have access to proper tools, though, in order to try to get the bends a bit rounder (rather than kinda pointy how they are) and also try not to break the little ball off the other end.

    I got that keychain except it was from Tokyu Hands. It was under $10 I think, it was a couple years ago but I'm pretty sure they had it at Tandy at one point, I could be wrong though.

  6. Hey guys,

    I've been inbetween places to live for the past 4 months. So I had spotty computer access from home.

    Hopefully I can start drawing them bunnies again soon.

    It was about this time last year that I was posting on this thread asking about the nando's. I should be giving them a second wash soon

  7. Yeah it's about $10K a year for WGSN. At times you can find the info on it not as forward or not as ahead as you would want it. Right now they are forecasting for Fall 08. In terms of being comprehensive there is info on blocks, graphics, trends, think tank, color stories, mens, women's, kids, and action sports.

    I believe that it's worth it to have WGSN. Going out to shop and the trend magazines are great. But WGSN does help you decide on themes for the season easier. They do have pages where it shows you links for different inspiration, so really you can take WGSN as a starting point for inspiration. In terms of color stories I found it really helpful to work off what they forcast just because they have so many different ones to choose from and again it's a good starting point.

    If your company gross a couple million per season it's safe to say that $10K a year is not a bad investment.
