  1. I have okinawa's as well the details and the slub ect are overwhelming, its hard to find stuff which goes well with the dark blue though, a very differnt colour than my APC's. I wish i hadn't been a pussy though and gone for a 30 instead of the 31 - the Selfedge measurments scared me into it.

  2. Zipangu that sounds like a great compromise idea very sorry that your buisness didn't work out :(. There are some japanese companies which have been know to be very helpfull when considering overseas orders though. Specifically try speaking to skull jeans by an alchemist and Samurai jeans.

  3. I am of the school of thought that by far the best bike lock is 2 different bike locks- normally 1 around the back wheel+frame and maybe the seat with the second around the frame and front wheel attached to a lampost or whatever

  4. There are actually 2 separate issues here which zipangu is being attacked by atm and we should clearly separate the 2

    1) Levi's protecing thier trademarks- okay so thats a bit rubbish- but at the same time its fair, they were levis original branding and while some of the trademarks are broad ( like not being allowed ANY pockect tab) I thik that this could actually be a good thing for the denim industry helping to modernise these companies and increase innovation. Look at the new deisgn on skulls for exaple IMHO thats actually better and more unique than just a "red tab". Or the wonderfull acrtuates on sugarcane hawaili and okinawa for proof that you can make sick product without thius affecting you.

    2) Japaense denim companies trying to price fix and make us westerners who have proven we'll pay over the board for some brands pay vastly more than in japan - now THIS SUCKS and is a terrible buisness plan by the japanese comapnies. Personally i know think my next pair of jeans will be skulls mainly because of the superb customer service and desire to develop a global market they have chosen.

    I'd like to see Kiya with his influnce at sugarcane support zipangu (i think we would all agree that its perfectly possible for somewhere like selfedge to co-exist with somewhere like zipangu) - but i doubt that will happen for obvious reasons.

  5. zipangu that truely sucks, i guess that sugarcane eternal ect are trying to protect those who are selling the same jeans form them for $100's more. But it is very dissapointing.

    I assume that all orders already made will be okay though? ( I really really wants those sugarcanes :D).

  6. Where i work the customer full card details are printed on every store copy of the reciept- this means anyone cleaning out the trash cans could probably get 5-6 CC numbers+ expiry dates.

  7. hap i don't know what theat jacket is but its too big, has a keyhole lapel hole ( well from what i can see), and only 3 cuff buttons (again this could be wrong th picutre is unclear). Its also not a peaked lapel which always looks nicer imho, fixing it for a better jacket would definatley improve the overall fit

  8. Get in contact with Micheal J krell at styleforum.com, he might like them for his awsome hoodies :)

    also in for zipper porn, i spent 2 minutes fiddling with a riri zip yesterday just pulling it up and down it bwas very satisfying

  9. what stuck on stupid said- 2 nice enough srits there in the middle 2 designs, but i wouldn't wear them unless they were free. Seriously though if all your selling is screenprinted american apparell t-shirts you can't call yourself a cothing or "Lifestyle" brand or label, your a t-shirt company. I cann tell you for free that no-one is going to buy the "facade" shirt.
