RAISED BY WOLVES

I am an 11.5 US, I got a 12 US (UK 11 , right). They fit perfect, with room for some thicker wool socks.

new BG is pretty good

(im from the south, dont hate)

That's what I like to hear.

Who's hatin?

just something to bear in mind with sizing,as far as im aware some pieces if not all that garbstore stock are cut to accom the western shape,so just beware and check info on the product you intend to buy not just on what people say here as there could well be a mix of jp purchased goods and items purchased from mountain research

Good point. I remember the garbstore folks mentioning something to that effect when i ordered mine.

That said though, I translated some measurements in cm to inches from one of their Japanese retailers, and it still seems to run a tad laregr than most JP sizing.

If you order from Sett, lemme know how it goes.

These dudes keep it really real. Peep the mittens. THE MITTENS DAWG!!!! Field coat is ill, and the hoods on all the garments have excellent adjustability.

The designs for the original Jensen pack were purchased years ago by a good man faithful to Jensen's vision. I mentioned them in my other post a day ago. The design was revolutionary for the time; an era of bulky (and hideous) frame packs. Second link has a good picture. I should have known the Japanese blogs would be all over these. One of the few cases where the modern is as good as the originals from what I hear.

I did. Now I feel bad though. I was hoping I wasn't bidding against any of you.

Don't feel bad. Enjoy it. You should hit some thrift stores around your way. You could earn your dough back real quick with a few good finds.

I rode through the salt flats once on a freight train years ago. It was incredible. Want to go back to Utah.

I'd recommend sizing up. Mine is a large and it definitely runs a little small. I'd say it fits between a medium and a large.

Pit to Pit it measures 23"

Hope that helps.

Basically. My naval research Jacket is right between a medium and a large, which is great cause american companies never make my size. I am a "marge"

Probably not worth a catch to be honest.

im sayin child please like ochocinco

we cool

For sure. I don't know who that is, but it's all good.

RBW, you can deny clipse on a personal level, but it soundin like it factually applies. And this can't be done with out a well backed argumentation.

I think i did this 2 years ago when they dropped those mixtapes and The Fader was all over their nuts. I'm too tired to invest the energy to do it again for 2009.

I'm actually scared to make a list of brands that "meant anything" lest it turn up in someone's google search but I guess that's some selfish childish shit on my part.

Nor am I an authority in this department by any means. More of a student really.

Most of what I know I know from my pops who was there when it all cracked off, the rest i learned from my own research, time spent lurking on outdoor boards, my brother who works at patagonia, and oregon photos.com

-Trailwise/Ski Hut (a number of brands splintered off from here, including Class 5, and TNF and SD if I'm not mistaken)

-Recreational Equipment Coop (pre 1980. They started shipping their shit overseas early)

-Gerry

-Gregory

-Camp 7

-The Great Pacific Iron Works/Chouinard Equipment (Pre-patagonia)

-Old NOLS gear (National Outdoor Leadership School)

-Kelty

-Wilderness Experience

-Holubar (on some OG shit, but alot of their stuff looks like shit)

-FrostLine Kits

-Rivendell Mountain Works

The list goes on. There are so many regional particulars to discover too. That's what's ill about it. I'm including mostly manufacturers of packs and clothing, but obviously there were important makers of hardwear, tents, and stoves who aren't on the list.

child please

lord willin bodied u in 2002

you and I may be cool from past conversations on the internet, I can't remember, but fall back with the "child" shit.

Lord willin never bodied shit. If you like it that's your call, but I didn't feel them in 2002, didn't like them when it was cool again in 2007, and still don't fuck with them.

Son.

*****CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT ALERT******

Fuck The Clipse. Never been anything more than mediocre to me.

Bout to just head out to the mountain town thrift shops of Wyoming, Montana, and Northern Cali on some gold rush shit and cake out on ebay.

Fuck it.

"This is an absolute steal at the buy it now price!"

O RLY?

It's funny because this shit just isn't worth that. I got outbid on a parka recently by way more than anyone should have ever paid. Price is determined by demand I suppose, but sometimes shit is just bonkers.

Same kinda thing with fools buying these garbage Woolrich parkas thinking they are like the vintage Sierra Design joints. If you paid more than $12 for one of those you're a jerk.

I am a jerk. But then again, Stella Dallas is a Jerkstore. Except I know they not like the SD ones. I jus was tired of getting outbid.

On the class5 tip though, that shit is worth way more than 12 bones. Perhaps not 150 bones, but in it's heyday, it was certainly not selling for "cheap". Percieved value is a bitch.

And thank Shoreman for trendsetting.

For how much dollars Crass 5?

it's ROADSIDE, standin up in a block of flats in a beat down park with NO SLIDEEE

Been at least a year since I invaded this thread with something that isn't new or hip hop. Still........HARD.

This is what it's all about this winter.

HARD BODY.

A goretex parka with black leather shoulder yolk and 60/40 lining sounds like a japanese trainwreck, but somehow Rocky Mountain featherbed pulls it off.

[i got to this through an ad that popped up in this thread, so I guess someone is doing something right]

Over a good neutral color hoodie is the obvious answer to me, but I think putting it under things is actually cooler.

Just got this black down sweater from patagonia and it looks sick under my EG grey duffle coat. The mix of the shiny tech fabric with the raw wool is a good look.

No doubt their jackets are really nice, but this season it's all about their pants and shorts. Have a look on sett.co.jp

Off the chain.

Wish Garbstore would stock.

From what I hear over on Tricktrack, they work pretty damn well for regular city riding. But then again, most of the posters overthere are heavy in to tricks, so they might be inclined to say they work great for mashing down second ave at 30mph when that is not the case.

Regardless, I'm definitely gonna scoop some for my Milwaukee Bruiser build. I got it for trick riding/winter work in the city, and I'm curious to see how it performs. I've got a ding in a high impact spot on the top-tube of my current ride, and I wanted something I can really bang around, hence the purchase.

I can't believe I've never posted in this thread. Or have I?

If anyone knows their sneakers and can tell me where to snag a pair of black or brown suede in NYC, I'd appreciate it.
