don't forget the heroinQuote:It's a guy who was maybe the first person to wear ripped jeans on stage. He was born in Michigan, got cut with broken glass in New York, went crazy in LA, lived on red wine, sausages and cocaine in Berlin, and now is chilled out in Miami.
But I'm a naughty boy and should be wrting about his life now, this damn site is gonna make me miss my deadline... and it won't be out in time for his birthday, next April...

that's a lot of good wear for sitting and walking. i think my cane 47s have some hope yet.Quote:Thanks, guys. I guess they're only average wear. They're not particularly tight either. I don't own a bike but I spent a lot of time sitting on planes, and a LOT of time tramping the streets and wearing out shoe leather - I'm writing a book that has taken me to Detroit, New York, LA and Berlin, I washed them when I got back home, so these are kind of a diary of my travels...
Thinking about it, I haven't had jeans that wore as nicely as these for five years. Reason: my son is five now, so there's no baby drool, vomit or food splatters that means you have to wash your jeans every week...
I HOPE I get royalties on stolen books, but you know the capitalist system, those who produce the wealth don't get to share it. but I do get my share of free jeans so no complaints.

aah, the perks of being a denim author!
btw, i think i am going to buy your book online. i just prefer instant gratification.
interested in your next book, what's the subject this time? can we get a hint?

yeah, it's kinda funny, ueno is becoming a hot place for cheap, good and often unique sushi.
not many people know this, in fact many people are surprised because ueno is more known for dango and other grilled stuff.
it was a kaiten place in ueno that had the hon-maguro for cheap.

paul, those look gorgeous, man. if you don't mind me asking, what do *you* do in your jeans to get that wear pattern?
btw, people are stealing your book from the bookshelves.

aaaah, the roping effect! so that's what it's called. i really love that on the hems of my cane 47s, i didn't know that it was because of the special hemming machine. cool, thanks!

it's very cool to see how jeans are so universal, not only in the U.S. but all over the world.
with all the differences between parts of the U.S., we all rock jeans.
are vintage jeans popular in chicago?

it's cool that out of all the decades, the 1940's are making a comeback!
the 40s were a great time (except for WWII)--maybe a little underappreciated now. there was the birth of bebop, the roots of the beat generation, swing dancing and lindy hoppers, the first computers, quantum physics, R&B, rock & roll, las vegas, lots of good shit.
i'm sick of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s! time to bring back the greatest decade!

do people still rock doc martin's?

exactly, i love me some AF1s, but they look awkward with a smaller jean cuff.Quote:
AF1s are way too chunky imho. They look silly with slim jeans.Quote:i can see tims not working, but why not airforces? any retro looking shoe seems like it would fit the bill

Also don't get the Air Max fascination. I wore Air Max shoes in fourth grade. They look like generic running shoes.... (although I admit that I would probably wear the polka dot colorway!)

it's not just the sole, it's the large area of the toe--if that makes sense.

thanks guys. there are a lot of choices.
i think wallabees would work too.
i've seen people rock chukkas and i liked that look.
the air max 180s are also dope.
i just bought a pair of nike zoom tre's which are very nice.

"steal this denim book"
goddamn hippies!

whatsup guys. i love my sugarcane 47s, however, they are a new look for me, more fitted. i am used to wearing my jeans pretty baggy. now, all the shoes that i used to rock with my baggy jeans (i.e. AF1s, Timbs) don't work too well with my skinny canes.
can anyone suggest some shoes to wear with fitted jeans?
i know the chuck taylor all-stars are an obvious choice. any others?

hey serge. i went to astor place to get Paul T's book. somebody had stolen all 5 copies, goddammit.

hey cheap mofo, thanks for the update. i suspected the color on the 13mwz's would suck after washing.
again, i suggest the rustler rigid regular fit. color is very dark, denim is probably more durable than the 13mwz. find a local place that can rivet them for you and you have a decent looking jean for less that $15.00.

lilbucu, i really prefer the LVC levi's that you had--better fit on you.
i think these will look better if they do shrink, which they might not?

ande, you are really doing some great stuff. can't wait to see how the red rakers turn out.
