No pic, but I Thursday night I had Hop Rising from local brewery, Squatters. No Pliny in this neck of the woods, so It's nice to have a local double IPA. Not a beer to shake the foundations of beerdom, but a nice strong brew for summer: More from Beer Advocate.

From Robert Frank's "The Americans." Check out more a The Selvedge Yard.

TTM, you sorta cock blocked yourself with the "busy man" line. I mean, there'd be no "aight dude" if you hadn't played sour.

Go Ags!

Next-level presidential steez.

Boat shoes wrecked the whole look. I wish I'd worn something a little more formal. I mean, I did have on a DB jacket.

1) I think it's unfair to call a dude out for divorcing his wife. If any one of you kids pull yourself away from the Internet long enough to have a real relationship, you'll find that a helluva lot of those things bomb. And, wandering dick or spending too much on meaningless shit like jeans is usually the cause.

2) Aside from the brand remarks, everything he said could have easily been made in jest. He obviously wasn't taking the reporter very seriously. She named her paper, it wasn't Vouge or GQ or NYT, and he just fucked around with her for a few minutes. I've dropped the line about only being good at two things like a million times. It's a stupid joke that old men make. I don't think he really thought out what he was saying. He was talking to her like she was a buddy at the bar. However, doing what he does for money, the dude should have known to act a bit (a lot) more polished, even with a local rag. I'll give you that.

My take, not that anyone cares: It's a bit like when the Pixies got back together. Sure they hate each other. However, a million bands made a billion bucks off of their sound. So, why shouldn't they get some of the cabbage, too?

No denim, but bike fans will appreciate this slide show of WLA Harleys.

Here is a little love for Danny Lyon:

^ Most of the photos on this page are just various pictures of animal husbandry. On the last page, however, there is a photo where they are gutting a cow.

^ Sugar instead of corn syrup. Sharper flavor. cleaner aftertaste.

but they only had a size 28 and i am a true size 28. so do i just wear them in the tub with warm water to stop too much shrinkage? any tips?

You'll be fine and your balls may only suffer moderate damage. I have a pair of '67 505 (which supposedly have a very similar top block to the '47 making these measure similar to a shrunken true-to-waist '47) that are two inches smaller than my waist. After a soak in the tub with these bad boys and a cold night in front of the TV followed by a hanger in the waistband, they turned out to be my favorite "skinny" jean. In fact, I'm starting to get a bit of saggy ass at this point (waist is still pretty tight and I'm reluctant to wash as I don't want to go through the hassle of stretching again). I'm assuming you've tried these pants on and they are the '09 '47 (non-Taylor Togs) that measure true-to-the-tagged-size and not undersized pre-'09s). If these are already downsized, and depending on how well endowed you are, it might be better to just list them on the Supermarket before you take the tags off and hope you can get your money back.

^I agree. However, we live in a post-modern world and the reasons for buying and wearing these types of clothing are varied. IMO, I think one of the most overlooked motivations behind the workwear boom is the emasculated state of males in Western society. Workwear allows us to tap into an aesthetic that validates parts of the cognitive dissidence of modern masculinity. Regardless, vintage-inspired fashion really is nothing more than a hobby — same as fly fishing or muscle cars. Some dudes are going to jam econo and others are going to have the latest and greatest — and tons of it. In the end, we are all just standing around some river or a Sears parking lot obsessing over minutia.

Starting work on some Lee's with Hair-On-The-Hide. When giving these babes a bath, is there anything I should do to take care of the tag? I don't really want the white hair to take on an indigo hue.

555 button stamp makes it a repro, not original. Not sure what LVC season. Looks good.

^you'll find yourself attracted to flamboyant fish.

Jesus Christ! I haven't smoked daily for 15 years. But I swear, every time this thread bumps I end up buying a pack of something. Goddamn you SUFU for turning my pink lungs black.

^It is Tom, but I figure the Iconic thread is a bit too bourgeois for Mr. Waits. I think he'd rather be stuck here with the sailors, cowboys and outlaws.

yeah my legs used to fall asleep all the time when i was sitting on my bed on the computer, maybe i'll get some pain killers in 10 years.

Don't wait, son. Gets some of dem pillz, now.

Now, I don't know many Russian women. In fact, none at the present. So, I may be speaking out of my ass. I know a lot of women from former Eastern Bloc countries, however. And, although there is something to them in their youth, they are, shall we say, an acquired taste as they age.
