Anyone else?

I'm looking to buy a visvim tote. Not really picky about which.

NYC meet-up or paypal shipped.

Simple

^is that cinelli mash in the background? how do you like it for track racing?

That's not my Mash Cinelli and i'm not a track racer but i do have one and i did use it to race this day on the track.

I honestly can't say how i like it for track racing specifically. I run 48x18 so its not like i can really torque out the frame. Its fun, mad light, turns sharply with no toe overlap. But its super common (esp in NYC, limited to 800 frames world wide? yeah right) and every decent build looks exactly alike...except for mine

Won a SAG bag during Chari & Co.'s 2nd anniversary event yesterday @ Kissena Velodrome

I think they have a "lite" version of the SE draft now but still, you dont want to buy that bike.

I actually have a Draft in my closet that my g/f abandoned. The cranks fell apart after she put about 30-50 miles on it with a freewheel.

get this version if you can find it. 2nd volume is a encyclopedia by country with scaled camo swatches. one of the best books on my shelf.

Truth.

I had it, someone stole it. House parties are a bitch.

I'll be doing 5boro fixed with a few other heads. Who else has already registered?

The gauze sweat shirts looked pretty good. I have to run back and grab em

is anyone doing/has anyone done the 5 borough bike tour in nyc? i'm pretty sure registration starts in a week, and i'm thinking about doing it for the first time. just wondering how it is, as it might be a pain to get down there with my bike and find a place to stay.

I think i'm doing this fixed with a few other people. Dont wanna pay that reg. fee so far in advance tho.

BTW if anyone has the tool to remove the SRAM/truvativ Omnium BB holler at me.

The fishtail parka that everyone was gonna go for fits like a box. It's looks pretty good; the fishtail can be snapped onto the inside to get a straight hem. Pockets looks nice and stuff, but I usually go for S and even when I sized down to XS, the thing still flared out like a motherfucker. No cinches anywhere in the jacket that could alter the fit.

Yeah the fit sucks but not as bad as the material. Its pretty much the same stuff their windbreakers are made from. Possibly a tad bit heavier.

Get the fuck outta here, there's a basement?

take an urban history class or someshit, city's not a theme park or a mall with neighborhoods designated for your enjoyment. i can't even begin to start with what's wrong with you said or where you think you're coming from with those comments. blue collar melting pot? wtf does that mean, nothing. bootleg Inwood? .....what theyre extension of the same neighborhood. Dyckman's around both. Heroin? since when, i think you're thinking of Alphabet City, aka the Heroin mall. It's coke and weed up here. so don't pay attention to it and stay in your condo somewhere else.

readytoignite, you made it personal when you said i'm not "real new york," but more so because you think shopping at strand is some sort of personification of quintessential new yorker. I just pre-ordered that shit cause it was way cheaper on amazon and i'm assured a copy that way. once you and ms sally start playing that who's more OG than the rest game it just ends up in a shit thread and no one wins. I mean i could be like fuck you readytoignite i cop my shit from the library flea market where shit cheaper and more authentic than anything or some other fake elitist indie nonsense. just sayin

This fight was lost long ago. Theres too many of them now and they stick together like kimchi rice. I get enough perks by letting go of doors and giving wrong directions. You should try it.

BTW you have it easy in the heights...Brooklyn has truly become a zoo.

WTFFF. I soaked my Flatheads and kept 10 lb weghts on it　to keep it down....and when i hung dry i saw that the place wehre i kept the weights is a little faded？Is this suppose to happen?!?!?

hrm never had that problem but i'm also surprised to see how much fading you have in 10 months.

I've been wearing my f30s since they first came out and they dont look nearly as faded. Then again i've never starched them ether...

Is there still the Wool military jacket +J?

Most of them sold out when the line was first released but I happened to find one lastnight! Its a Large but fits like a smaller medium. It didnt have a "Japan Size" sticker on it but it may have been. Fits me perfectly with a sweater on but i wear single layer t-shirts or button-ups year around so...

Looking to trade for a medium!

Today, my bike got jacked while in class for an hour. Got jacked while locked to a rail on the 2nd floor of a very public study area. Would've thought it'd be too much effort to take from that spot.

There's a security camera inside the building facing where I locked up, so hopefully that got caught on tape.

Wow that sucks. What did you lock it with? I've learned that people wont say shit to bike thieves. I had a guy come up to me when my bike was stolen and say "man i saw the dude head towards your bike as soon as you walked off"

Holy Shit I've actually seen those things in person! they don't even look like denim they look more like waxed black khakis or something of the sort.

Yeah, i mean its a good look. I've always liked biker/rocker leather but im not trying to push the no homo. Ah well the search continues. Take that shit as a public service announcement

I think the rip is supposed to be like a fake boot cut to fit over chunky ass skate shoes. I guess skaters don't like stacks or something. I've seen people rip their slim denim in the same way.

Yeah well whatever, they should give the option. They shoudl have also made note of that on the website.

So far i've been thru H&M waxed, Nudie dry coated, Emerica waxed....all shit.

Whats next? Lee riders?

I've been looking for a new pair of waxed denim for awhile now and recently *ORDERED* some from Emerica. These things are horrible. Has to be the worst jean i've ever bought from anywhere ever.

To the pictures...

New Emerica waxed vs Old H&M waxed

I've never seen jeans stitched like this.

And the worst....

Why would the MAKE the jean this way. Not to mention how horribly they did it!

Can someone recommend me a denim tailor in NYC? I like the overall cut but that cuff and some other parts need to be redone.

This just in! Fujiwara Hates Non City Dwelling Americans

haha funny. Don't fuck with Marc Eckos biggest customers!

That quote totally made fujiwara look like the biggest fucking snob in "streetwear"...

Nigo needs a blog

in response to hiroshi's quote, beside asocciating himself with retarded rap super stars there really isn't much he can do about it. I mean 90% of that shit is fake.

I bet that it haunts Nigo in his sleep tho. If i was me, id focus on making more lifestyle products. More vinyl records, more toys, shit for my apartment. I think I'd pay a nice amount for a high threadcount plaid Bape bedding set.

Super beat Headporter Merge wallet

Time for a replacement?

Did anyone else notice that the HUFs have a different liner? They are way softer than the DQM chukkas. Didnt try the Kicks/HI. Clever

I think they presold the shoes yesterday because I got there at noon and there was barely anyone there. I got the last 9 in the HUF, most of the other shit was sold out.

I don't think there was a presale. I went early expecting a line too but ended up being the second person there. Dave came by and chatted with us for a few minutes before anyone else queued up. Didn't mention anything about a presale.

I really hope the next release isn't the halfcabs...yuck

i went to pick up the supreme duffle coat and was turned off by the qualiy. it was totally not worth the $280+ they were asking.

Any news yet on wool duffle coats. Have these been seen in supreme stores yet?

I'm also looking forward to this coat.

any guess on the price and release date?

I've never looked at the coats instore so what should I expect the fit to be like?
