Thanks Bartles, the Arizona is my perennial summer staple, I think that’ll be safe from the chop.

If any of you are familiar with the Bob Servant books, you’ll love this letter I received recently (incidentally, there is no R Santiago at my address!).

Some promising crinkle development there b_F, something I think both Denime and Warehouse are noted for. Has the colour disparity on the front and back panels evened itself out yet?

Where I live, absolutely everyone is talking about the Orslow lookbooks - in the supermarket, at the bus stop, the pub, school gates, you name it - so I too am equally surprised, if not a little shocked

They seem a bit behind the curve with these releases.

Just wait until all funds are fully digital and start to be withheld from you when you don’t toe the line…

Will it be a boy or a girl?

Well done Doctor/Prof Wolf. I’ve always enjoyed Quantum Leap!

(and how old you are…!)

Some good entries from the UK contingent, unlike Eurovision (apparently…). Not today, but yesterday I had to collect a print I bought from the artist’s studio in Woolwich, so I travelled by Underground & Elizabeth line with my trusty pooch and then took a walk alongside old Father Thames. Various photos of the old Royal Arsenal and environs, where armaments and munitions were made. The site had its origins in the 17th century and finally closed in 1994. Most of it was built in the 19th century. Anyway, plenty of cannons, etc and some Antony Gormley-esque sculptures. There’s also the Woolwich Ferry and the foot tunnel (opened in 1912) under the river for transport buffs. Some photos of the Tate & Lyle sugar mills at Silvertown, Thames flood barrier and offices at Canary Wharf. Plenty of modern, soulless high-rise residential developments too, which I ignored. Finally, the print of Circus Liquor in North Hollywood on 9mm birch ply covered in clear resin, by Gerry Buxton.

^ I don’t know what he’s talking about…

I think you’re saying that historically, Levi’s (and not LVC) started using the red tab in 1936/37 and perhaps the Type I was released before then so wouldn’t have had a red tab? I’d need to check my books, which I don’t have to hand, so probably an expert like @Dr_Heech can confirm. Furthermore, even if this is the case, I think you’re asking if LVC would have made a Type I repro without a red tab to reflect this period. I don’t know but I’d guess not. More importantly, as you managed to find 3 US-made Cone Type IIs for an excellent price, why on earth would you want a Turkish made LVC Type I without a tab?!

I think I posted it in the wrong thread, it’s my first WAYWT.

I still have a BNWT pair of SD-001s from 2010. They’re supposed to be the left hand twill version of the 101 in a 14oz denim. My pair are a size smaller than my 101s but have a higher rise and roomier top block, which is very welcome.

Do you work for TfL @Toegun?
