Russian woman age well?

^ Don't fix the zipper to make the fly flat. One of the nice vintage details on this model is the wonky shrunken zip.

Slipped out of bed before the kid woke up. Drank coffee with my ol' lady on my big 100-year-old porch and watched the sun rise.

Brew: Triple-cert Mexican beans

I'm assuming this T is for the motorcycle line. I don't know if this is getting me excited or worried.

^Must pass some rep around before I can give Hooligan some grammar love.

What is the fit like on wescos? I kind of want some highliners for pole climb.

^ Did a real logger just join SUFU, 'cuz if so, that's some serious mindsplode.

wicked, is a new england thing, it is the most annoying thing ever

More annoying are the kids in Middle America using it while trying to affect some South-Boston tough-guy swagger after watching a rerun of Good Will Hunting on TNT.

^ Wellbutrin, an anti-depressant, is the same thing as Zyban, which is a stop-smoking drug. Some people have their doctor subscribe Zyban instead of Wellbutrin to avoid insurance problems/medical records programs (some Federal employees are not suposed to have "depression" issues to keep certain clearence levels, for example). Plus, some insurance plans will give you a discount for "quitting smoking."

Somehow my wife's dog pulled out a claw on her back leg. She was away for the evening, so my brother and I ended up spending like two hours trying to get the bleeding to stop. By the end of the night, the bathroom looked like something out of American Psycho and I was covered in K9 blood. The stains that made it to ma jawns are by far my favorite part of my current LVC. Love how black the stain is. The jeans are still pretty dark, so the stain isn't obvious, but it is hands down the best part of the evo on these bad boys.

(Oh, if you are a pet owner, make sure you have some steptic powder on hand. Does the work of two grown men in seconds.)

^ mmmmm, I really need to spend more time in NOLA. Maybe you need to start a Bona Drag Day Camp where hipsters pay to hang out and drink with you while checking out dirty southern girls in the quarter.

Well, I guess it is true about WC'ers saying 'hella' like EC kids say 'wicked.' I'm shamed and at once glad I found real life proof.

First time I heard "hella" was some girl at a San Jose swap meet. It was hella this and hella that. I just kept staring at her trying to figure out what she was saying. I thought I'd had a stroke or flashback or something because nothing was making sense. Then her friend dropped a "hecka" and it blew my mind.

^Just added something to my bucket list.

If you're into the whole denim thing in hopes of meeting a girl, you're hopelessly out of luck. Start explaining selvage to the finer sex, and unless her mother was a seamstress, you'll be able to set your watch by how quickly her eye's glaze over. But it is a bit like all things men of a certain age waist their money and time on — talking about vintage muscle cars or motorcycles won't get you laid, showing up in one will. Basically, the ladies notice your cuffs— leave it at that. Don't use a line like, "These are '30s-style work pants, this is how you should wear 'em." Just wear 'em.

1) You should really put in some effort to know everyone who has property touching your property. Just a good idea, it makes shit like this go away much more easily.

2) Talk to the owners. Just be cool about it. Most dog owners know when their dog is acting anti-social.

3) Buy a dog wistle.

4) Buy an electronic dog whistle that runs all day and point it at their house.

5) Start calling the cops (they won't do anything, they'll just start a neighborhood war, which will eventually fuck up a BBQ in your backyard).

Sidenote: I'm no fan of dogs, but don't fuck with another persons pet. For all intent and purpose, that dog is part of the family.

I question the authenticity of this photo. Nobody on SUFU has a room THAT clean.

I've ironed out wrinkles and creases in leather jackets before. Just do the towel thing. However, a thick motorcycle jackets is a different beast than a lamb-skin fashion jacket. So, I'd condition first and see where you're at, then give it an iron (wear and conditioning alone might get you closer to where you want to be). Regardless, you'll want to make sure the leather is pretty well "hydrated" before applying too much heat.

The dude over at A Continuous Lean just put up some great scans of vintage outdoor-gear advertisements.

^ Not Brando's bike from the movie. Brando rode a Triumph.

Earnestly, II is better than I. However, Dead Horse on I is a personal favorite.

^ This blog claims to have photographic proof of the IH634SR (anniversary jeans).

Looks to be a 634 cut.

^ I do own a pair of Ben Davis Frisko from about 15 years ago (shit, I'm getting old). They were great back in the day. However, I bought them a few sized too big (as everyone was doing back then) and they are pretty generously cut to start with. I have had my eyes on their trim cut. Note: these are 50/50 fabric -- not the stuff denim heads pine over.
