  1. It looks good on you. What size did you buy @Cold Summer?
  2. They are 47 501s made in autumn (fall) 2006 in USA. LVC HQ used to be in Europe, either that address in Brussels or in the old Olympic stadium in Amsterdam.
  3. River junction I think. I got a couple of cinch buckles from them. You’re right, the shipping costs were ridiculous, I think someone from the US proxied them for me. I’d forgotten about them, not sure if they’re still in business.
  4. Not as old as 00’s Champion but I bought this reverse weave hoodie in ‘90 or ‘91 from Interstate and have barely worn it this millennium. My son wore it for a bit and gave it back to me as he has plenty of his own that fit him better. It’s more faded in real life than these iphone photos suggest.
  5. Are they not still available Neal? Or is it a matter of exercising self restraint?
  6. I like those arcs. As a non-purist, I prefer arcs that are Levi’s-esque but not quite Levi’s, like those on Full Count, old Sugar Cane or Samurai, or even upside down ones (eg via selective unpicking of the Warehouse double arcs). I also like that pink colour, which LVC repro’d on their ‘44s a good few years back.
  7. Fob Factory F198. I can’t find much information on these at all but I think they’re pre-2006. They were in a musty one-wash condition when I bought them and I’ve just given them another 40°C wash and will get them hemmed soon.
  8. Unless it’s from China, it may just be 10% now…
  9. One for @Double 0 Soul - I bought this tracksuit top 20+ years ago I think, basically because of its West Ham colours. I rarely wore it and now it belongs to my son, who sports it much better than I ever did. I think it’s from 2003.
  10. Back to the title of this thread… @Geeman - do you or would you wear them with your jeans?
  11. Friday Night Dinner The key part of the premise: “They are frequently interrupted by their strange but good-hearted neighbour Jim Bell, who is attracted to Jackie and visits them due to his loneliness; he is usually accompanied by his dog, Wilson, of whom he is afraid. After Wilson's death, Jim adopts a new dog, whom he names Milson.”
  12. ^This always makes me think of this…
  13. Full Count 1101, PF Flyers (MiJ), dog.
  14. Have you just bought some Hawaiis too @MJF9?
  15. Brooks Vantage Heritage, released in 2014 I think, although I bought this pair a couple of years later, from Brooks UK. Here’s a couple of links about them and the originals from 1976/77 here and here. I must get around to wearing these!
  16. I bought this one at the Yankees store in South Street Seaport (NYC) in 1999, purely for the name on the back.
  17. These 2 I’ve had since 1990. I did some work for a friend (well, more a friend of a friend) who used to own the brand and shop Boxfresh and now owns Boxpark and was paid in clothing he was dealing in. The no alla violenza ones were produced for the 1990 World Cup in Italy. I used to have another in grey and another of the basketball ones in red until my sister stole them. He also gave me a coach jacket, some Soffe sweatshorts and a Burro t-shirt (they shared an industrial unit in Lewisham).
  18. The top one I bought in a little shop in Brick Lane in 1999. The second, I think in Greenwich in the very early 2000s.
  19. Yep. He also rapped about his Gucci watch!
  20. Can’t beat a bit of whataboutery, it’s like criticising Guardian readers for supporting the Transatlantic slave trade! Anyway… Run DMC’s ‘My adidas’ (1985) is too obvious but let’s see if you can guess this song from 1987 from the lyrics below (the rapper has a terrible lisp, so best read rather than listened to 😬) ”They call me Puma, by the clothes that I wear, on my feet, on my body, on my head, everywhere”
  21. I’m a bit older than 00, so I wasn’t even aware of Nike until my early teenage years. The holy grails of my formative years were always adidas and Puma - and for me, if I’m looking at a classic pair of trainers for knocking about in, it will always be those, particularly the ‘terrace’ style, although I don’t really like that term.
