Beautiful boots. Perfect shape, great heels...but a minor quibble: those look like traditional semi round, almond toe or maybe a J or toe. Snip toes look "snipped" with a blunt tip and d Tony Lama has a very blunt structured toe on their snips. Unmistakable in profile. These are just a few styles. There are dozens of name and shape variations by both region and maker.

Vintage Cal Cru 50/50 t shirt with Superman iron on and flocked letters. In the late 1970s this iron on was ubiquitous. I received one on a light blue tee at Marriots Great America sometime in the late 1970s. That tee was eventually sacrificed to make a Halloween costume. Originally produced for Superman : The Movie this sparkly slab of nostalgia was a stiff sweaty experience. And since the fabric underneath would shrink up over time the iron on would eventually bubble and wrinkle. Some clever lad decided to personalize this example with some sweet flocked red letters. Good call, Jay.

One of my very favorite finds ever and perhaps one of the most historically significant. 1980s People Power Unarmed Forces of the Philippines T shirt. The People Power Revolution, also known as the EDSA Revolution or the February Revolution, were a series of popular demonstrations in the Philippines mostly in Metro Manila, from February 22 to 25, 1986. There was a sustained campaign of civil resistance against regime violence and electoral fraud. The nonviolent revolution led to the departure of Ferdinand Marcos, the end of his 20-year dictatorship and the restoration of democracy in the Philippines. Just a reminder that sustained non violent protest and strikes are some of the only actions that have ever toppled an authoritarian regime.

Vintage Stedman brand 1989 Betty Page t shirt 50/50 poly/cotton t shirt XL The art is by Steve Woron but seems to be vaguely inspired by Dave Stevens' Rocketeer comics. Another massively oversized t shirt. This started out life in my best friends collection but somehow I ended up finding it in a box wrapped around a die cast model of a Delorean. Didn't wear it much due to size.

1975 N.P.P. ( National Periodical Publishing, now DC Comics) Superman Tee I have a vague childhood memory of seeing this shirt for sale at Marriots Great America theme park.

Thank you for looking out. Mine are bigger than that. I'm a 31 to 34 depending on the rise these days.

Photo dump. Broke my Midnight Riders Dungarees out today. Wish they were slightly shorter and slightly looser in the top block. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find a bigger size someday. The beautiful 10 oz denim on these is aging wonderfully.

Finally took my one of a kind hand made embroidered denim vest to the tailor to be altered. Short people problems. Perfect length now. This old Coke jacket will be next. Temporarily pinned and cropped by about 3 inches. Looks great now. Fortunately the zipper was about 4 inches shorter than jacket itself.

All ready for night two of our award winning live "Radio Show" The Spectral Silhouette. ( Adult Scooby Doo meets The Shadow with live music. We are on Spotify ). Tonight's show is vaguely western themed so wool trousers become cowboy denim. All vintage except the Barker Black pocket square and the Bronson Lee-pro.

I had noticed the beautiful indigo patina on the rough out side of favorite vintage painted belt before but I was today years old when I realized the buckle is designed to be instantly reversible. It seems it simply swings both ways. I can wear it either way without swapping the buckle. I won't do it often because I don't want to effect the perfect gloss or the paint too much. But how cool is that?

Same old. Getting way more mileage out of a pair of budget Target jeans than I ever expected. Button fly, wide vintage fit, mid weight selvedge denim for less than the price of fabric? Late stage capitalism is a weird mess.
