Not film, but I didn't think one picture warranted an entirely new thread.

"tornado ketchup???

i don't know that !! hoo thanks

There is no such thing, Ryu.

If there were, it would be one of these

(not one of these)

Made out of this

sxxxe, awesome shirt!

rainy day.

listening to:

Lots of good suggestions here. A fun and apparently effective thing to try is setting a goal and rewarding yourself in some way (perhaps new jeans?) when you reach it. It takes some discipline, but that builds character. AND it's a healthy way to rationalize an extravagant purchase you would probably make anyway.

I'm not sure if it helps, but I wear a 30 in New Standards and was thinking I'd get a 30 in these. My LVCs are also a 30, so I'm kinda sticking to what's been working.

Not dirty as in tomato ketchup all over them, but dirty as in a build up of dust and everyday 'invsible' dirt.

I read this as "tornado ketchup" and thought it sounded awesome.

My LVC 47s are in the later pages of the "Evolution" thread. I got mine rather tight and I think they look okay. 30 waist 34 length.

I would also say hold off on washing. They don't LOOK dirty, and febreze would take care of the smell.

Pru, you have the same jeans I do and I ride a lot. It REALLY does wear in the jeans drastically compared to regular day to day activity.

I ride in the 47s and New Standards(not at the same time), and it seems like the 47s are weakening in the crotchal region faster than my APCs. The seam on the inside of the legs are getting frayed also.

Reading back I haven't offered anything helpful. I guess I would say just continue doing what you're doing and then patch them if they rip. It will still look fine.

It was these or the Dior x Eternals, and I think I'm gonna have to go with these.

My 47s did not stretch much after an initial warm soak. I wore mine until dry after that so they wouldn't shrink too small. There are pics of them in the Before and After thread to attest to the lack of stretchage.

It's an Age of Quarrel kind of day.

Ha, yeah. For a second I thought that was a comment about the jeans being tight and was like "jeez, that's harsh and sort of weird," but then I remembered that the cat happened to be in the pic.

In regards to the size, they're a 30. I'm considering unwashed Okinawas for my next pair, and am wondering what size to get. I'd want them slightly looser. Any advice, experts?

My LVC 47s after a warm water soak. Pre-soak pictures on page 10 of this thread for comparison.

Today was old hc bands and their singer's post hc bands

Turning Point - Discography

Memorial Day

Integrity - Humanity is the Devil

Roses Never Fade - Fade to Black (I'm really digging this band)

Oh, and Depeche Mode - Black Celebration.

Same with my LVCs, except I just soaked and they still have shape, no wash.

To the topic starter, did you just starch them or wash first then starch? I've never heard of starch eliminating honeycombs.

Television is one of those bands I sincerely believe that people only pretend to listen to because some people long ago decided they were all those things good bands are alleged to be, 'seminal', 'ground-breaking', etc... I think Television are fucking boring.

And jesus fuck a pony, what's with all the Libertines love? Are you on NME's payroll?

Today, so far:

Scum - Gospels for the Sick

The Berzerker - Dissimulate

TV On the Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain

RazorxProductions - Killing Sound

Spank Rock - Yoyoyoyoyoyo

I kind of think a lot of people in this thread have really mediocre taste- like those kids who are into 'alternative' music and think themselves great for resisting the great mammoth record industry, but are only listening to whatever Spin magazine and Pitchforkmedia rate well. Anyone else get this feeling. Anyone? Anyone? I can't be alone; a bunch of few have listed certifiably awesome music.

Some elitist scumbag music junkie back me up here.

I tend to agree. Televion's pretty boring.

Today has been:

Hoover - Lurid Traversal of Route 7

Ink & Dagger - Ink & Dagger

Moss Icon - Lyburnum

Neurosis - Souls at Zero

Those look good. I'm considering Okinawas as my next pair.

Ha. It's the biking that does that. Not uncomfortable.

Vintage Champion Reverse Weave Crewneck

APC New Standards

Vans Slip-Ons.

My New Standards at about 4 months. I've been wearing my LVC 47s a lot more lately, so these haven't been getting as much wear. However, those are soaking now, so the APCs are happening again.

Christian Death - Only Theatre of Pain

Jesu - Silver

Cave In - Jupiter

Are you guys talking about the Justice from Belgium?

Fake IIIs, but good band.

Today thus far:

Swervedriver - Rave Down

Leeway - Born to Expire

AFI - Decemberunderground

108 - Threefold Misery
