  1. I'm going for something that looks unique. The thing with the messenger bags is they'd make them from old truck tarpulin's and you could pick which parts it would get cut from. I'm looking for something similar with a jacket.

  2. crocop is going to destroy anyone and everyone in ufc...seriously though, most of prides middle tier fighters can probably beat the best in ufc...

    Not true in the least. Liddell, Vera and Couture could give Mirko a tough fight although he would be the favourite with the bookies in each instance. Pride has a ton of tomato cans fighting, UFC doesn't have any these days. If you look at it by weight class, Pride has HW with Fedor, UFC has LHW with Liddell - there's nobody in Pride at 205 who has a reasonable chance of beating him. Paulo Filho and Denis Kang are top at 183/185 although Rich Franklin and Anderson Silva are at the same level. There is nobody who can compete with GSP, Matt Hughes or Diego Sanchez at 170. A B-Level UFC 170er in Frank Trigg beat an A-level Pride 183er in Misaki. UFC easily has the LW division, Gomi's title is a joke.

  5. That shirt has been washed like a dozen times. When you use an acrylic mixture, it doesn't come off. It isn't all-together smooth, but you really don't notice it...

    In that case, for $70 I'd definitely get one, since it'll be done by hand could I order it for a specific shirt design?

    3% cashmere 34% wool 63% cotton.

    da'mage is one of the only companies actually producing cashmere-containing denim

    most product left-hand twilled cotton, which gives it a softer feel but does not contain cashmere nor even wool.

    I have a pair of these, as far as I can tell they're right hand twilled. They're much softer than any other pair of jeans I've tried that were soft, including a pair of Moschinos that are left hand twilled. I haven't checked the other 100% cotton jeans that were softer for twill direction since I didn't know it had anything to do with it, but the other jeans I found that were soft were part polyester. I'm not sure how much the cashmere has an influence, but I've found 15% cashmere 85% cotton sweaters that felt as soft to me as some 100% cashmere sweaters, so it might be that there isn't that much cashmere needed for the effect. I'm sure the wool has a strong benefit for the softness though. For small percentages, I've found a $1800 jacket that was 90% cashmere, 7% camel hair and 3% silk. Since Cashmere and camel hair are more prestigious than silk, I would assume that the 3% silk was for some benefit in the feel of the jacket, so it's possible the 3% cashmere in the JPDs was enough for some benefit as well. It is also quite close to the minimum amount of cashmere required in a product to be allowed to list it as containing cashmere.

    It'd be nice to have a wool blend pair of jeans with no cashmere in them for comparison.

    Of course, there's a good reason why most denim are right-hand.

    What is the reason for that?
