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?

Get the 1121-2 Duke Denim instead

They go well with your L and R socks

Tennis shoes were big in the early 80s. I had adidas Wimbledon and Puma G Vilas back then. Get yourself some Forest Hills if your inner magpie can’t resist the glinting gold, these were the ultimate…

Time to start a new thread for TCB rather than leave it in the "Unknown Japanese Brands" one as it's very well known now. Post all your TCB non-competition stuff here.
