I really want a silver wallet chain.  Good Art asks for too much as I can get it cheaper overseas.  I can only imagine how much Lynch costs.  My limit would be $700-1200.  Once I get that, I'll sell my brass IH chain I don't wear as much as its very long.  

Brass chains leave chain fades on denim btw if you're into that.  They leave a ring on the denim after long periods of wear.

I actually recently made myself a silver one, but I use it for my keys. Designing the S hook or clasp is actually the hardest part.

Yeah, my opinion has changed in the close to two years since that was posted.

WHY does the lifestyle line of Arc'teryx have helmet hoods? WHY!?

Helmet hoods are 236% more dank than those shitty rollout hoods that were standard in the 80's, actually protects the face and doesn't look like you're dodging the rain by ramming your head up a condom

Is probably why

This is a photo I took of a photo in a pub toilet. Couldn't see who to credit with the original and the landlord didn't have a scooby either. Technically though since I took THIS photo do I credit myself? Sorry, but well.... Anyone wishes to credit on my behalf feel free.

 

Whatever, I like the picture - don't know if these are local dudes (I somehow doubt it), but the pub is VERY old and on an estuary so it would be nice to think so.

Which part of the world was the pub in? They're wearing clogs and gansey sweaters which marks them out, to me at least, as either welsh or cornish. They might be local to that area if so, and the picture of the ship scratched into the wall indicates that it was near a body of water.

Any advice on new goretex vs vintage? I have a mix of paclite, pro shell, new and older jackets and 1 pair of vintage goretex trousers, all seem to have different material qualities and variagated waterproof/breathability ratios, but I can't find a clear pattern - some vintage stuff seriously outperforms modern, and vice versa

Picked these up just after they dropped, quality is awful just due to poor choices of material. Gore ripstop through the body is annoyingly loud to walk in and much too stiff, also delaminated from the rubber rand after about four wears. Currently covered in mud under a pile of wellies in a farmhouse.

^nice find! 

Thanks! 

Here's a couple fit pictures, with my gf photobombing

So

I picked these up at Placebo in Sofia, which is a really nice little 2nd hand shop. I can't find any online details. The denim is really lovely and heavy, yet soft. The tag is missing a "made in _ " label, but the quality is outstanding (cinch and watchpocket stitching lines up perfectly with the waist, tonal single needle work throughout, selvedge waistband, chainstitch hems, the works) whoever had them before me removed the suspender buttons and sewed on some belt loops, but they really didn't match so I took them off. 

Best fit I've ever had.

Any ID help would really be appreciated! 

Er some backstory would help your cause

btw I have sourced painfully obscure jawns from all sources, but I don't have a reason to help you yet. Maybe your wife is right.

I posted earlier about a denimshirt my girlfriend picked up at a thrift shop some 20 years ago. It's, among other things, a white tab Big E shirt, made in GB and I have a hard time figuring out if its even genuine or fake. Paul T said he needed pic's and now I hope I have read the "post pic-manual for idiots" correctly(though I doubt it) and can post pic´s. Does anyone know anything about this shirt?

Probably made in Cardigan Bay, in Wales -  there was a town that did all the UK denim (for M&S and any number of seventies upstarts) that is now being exploited by Hiut Denim.

Look up Hiut, they have a good fades and fixes insta and some backstory if you're interested. I gave away a pair of black "made in UK" 501s when I lived in Aberystwyth..

I'm going into art school in september, and have recently realised that my main.. locus or whatever is cinema. However, i'm not on a film course and have no experience or materials to begin shooting, which i want to do as quickly as possible.

So i wondered if, for a start, i could get advice on cameras to purchase? I was considering super8, but purely for aesthetics and the purity of actual film being used. However, there are cost questions and the difficulties which arise from using a dying method, like developing and viewing and such.. Then i was considering digital.. which just seems poor and not as sacred as using film. plus pixellation, unpleasant to use, etcetera.. but then it's cheaper, easier, and a lot more convenient to view.

So what i really need is recommendations. On pretty much everything.

Just about to buy a pair of these on Oi Polloi, yet unsure about sizing.

Obviously the most common pitfall of buying online, has anyone had experience in sizing these?

I'm a UK eleven in Chucks, but a thick pair of boot socks fit between my feet and my Redwings (UK 11) so i'm not sure.

Any help appreciated

thanks

bought a pair of levi's 501 1978

they fit me really well in the raw state so im hesatating to give them a initial soak (cause they're unsanforized).

has anyone experience on these ?

Fit pics? I've been looking towards these for a while.

I'd imagine they react like any others, just a boiling soak to get the shrinkage out, etcetera..
