Pretty stoked on these brand new to me LVC orange tab 606 "Super Slims". A personal grail. Long considered the first "skinny" cut ( made famous by The Ramones ) by today's standards these are merely a nice slim leg. A nice lean and boxy top block and the higher rise with the longer 517 style back pockets is a nice alternative to the 501s square pockets and anti fit. These are made from very crispy Indigo denim that has been overdyed black and rinsed and I've been after this particular pair for a couple years now. Last week I found an insane bargain on Evil Bay. Big "E" Levis for $30? Yes please!

@chicote All of it. The belt, the T-shirt , the way those pants fit. I was just looking at a similar belt over at Left Field. Inspired.

(Sorry in advance for the novel) Last week Chicago and the world lost an icon and a beautiful soul. Jojo Baby, one of Chicago's original club kids, drag queen, Doll maker, host with the most, fashionista, costume maker, actor, den mom, occasional muse to Nick Cave and Clive Barker, hairstylist to Bull's era Dennis Rodman, was a living and breathing work of art and also one of the kindest and sweetest humans I have ever known. Last night my brewery hosted a LGBQTA+ storytelling event and I did my best to honor my friend by channeling Brando via Kenneth Anger's Scorpio Rising (with a dash of Westwood and Jim Henson). I think Jojo would approve. I highly encourage anyone to check out the documentary that Clive Barker produced about them: JOJO BABY (or just Google Jojo's work.)

And the day after Iggy Pop. My ears are still ringing but I'm not mad. Great show. We should all be so lucky to rock out at 75 years young. Vintage shrunken vest Iggy Pop tour tee Vintage brass buckle and belt Levi's 501 STF Same old boots IGGY at the Salt Shed, Chicago, March 10, 2023

Great fit on the jacket and those '33s are PERFECT @crownzip

Dingy vintage knit cap Vintage Wool sweater Iggy Pop tee (last wearing ever) Vintage "WOLFMAN" brand jeans. Keith Haring socks Vintage Nettleton steel toe wingtips Rings n tings "WOLFMAN" Jeans. Budget fashion brand from the 70s and 80s. Nice lighter denim, very high rise (16 inches!) and wide leg (9 inch hem). The tee shirt was sacrificed and pinned to my destroyed leather for tonight's IGGY POP concert. Also had some fun shaving my beard off all week.

LEVI'S 501 STF Indigo x Hot pink Soaked and worn till dry, then tailored to a slight taper, my first wear was May 5th 2021. Probably worn 2 to 4 times a week on average. The Indigo warp is fading to a bright baby blue which is contrasting gorgeously with the ever softening pink weft.

Happy New Year everyone! (Repost)

I did not wear any of this today but I had to pay my respects. To say that she was an influence would be a massive understatement. Godspeed Dame Vivenne Westwood.
