  1. that's probably because that's a duffle coat.

    herringbone cloth. might be wool even, i'll have to check. he did it in pinstripe, among other suit fabrics.

    xcoldrex, is your jacket one of the Watanabe x Goldwin colabos? Either way it is a really nice jacket. Mr. Watanabe knows what he is doing.

  2. There is a exhibit at LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibits) that is worth checking out if you are interested in denim:

    http://www.artleak.org/cianciolo.html

    Cone Denim gave fashion designer/artist Susan Cianciolo access to their mills in North Carolina, which she documented, and let her make clothes out of denim remnants that she found at the mill, some of which are 100 years old. The clothes are at the exhibit and its pretty cool to see denim that old up close.

    They have a lusciously printed freebee catalog from Cone Mills that documents a large stash of demin work wear from the 1930's through the 50's that someone found in an attic that is definitely worth grabbing a copy of.

  3. Witts, I'm loving the Brokeback Mountain vibe. darkanimal, good job, you pulled together a sensuous, agressive, and seductive outfit. MilSpex, the only problem I ever have with your outfits is that you wear your shoes on the tatami mats. Oherwise you never let me down. Haptronic, have you been working out? Your arms are looking buff.

  4. I have a pair of the 11MWZ 1950's Wrangler jean repros and a the 1950's denim jacket with the zipper, both repros made by Edwin. Neither of them show the selvage, but I discovered when I shortened the jeans that the fabric is indeed yellow line selvage, the jeans were just made in a way such that the selvage was folded over and hidden. On the jacket if you peel the fabric back at the zipper you can see that they used yellow line selvage.

  5. I would like to state for the record that leasing is like the fountain of youth. As soon as the car starts to age you get a new one, no fuss no muss. Yeah to leasing! I would also like to state for the record that Lexus makes a fine car that never breaks down, and the new ones are looking pretty sexy. I can't get used to the new dolphin looking BMW's. I miss the old briefcase looking BMW's.

  6. MOCA, LACMA, and the Getty Center are museums.

    Here are some good galleries to check out:

    Big ones:

    Acme, part of the Mid Wilshire gallery complex. There are a few other adjacent galleries that are good and a few that stink. If the Kirsten Everberg show is still up at 1301EP upstairs from Acme you should have a look.

    Lace

    Gagosian. The big guns show here.

    Smaller galleries that are good:

    Sandroni Rey @ 2762 S. La Cienega Blvd plus a few more around it.

    Sister Gallery, some more across from Chung King

    Galleries across from the brewery in Santa Monica.

    There are many more. I'll try to post some more later.
