it does look so. Maybe explains the weird bulginess of the top-block.

entertainment!- could you take and post a closeup of the neck area?

I was about to quote that same picture as grooveholmes when I scrolled down and saw he'd beat me to it. Nice update, and especially good pictures, rnr.

ShortyLong- yeah, they have the henley at the Union Square shop.

entertainment!- do you think he has on two pairs of jeans? My best guess after looking at the photo for a while was that he was wearing a pair of 1870-1880s Levi's, the henley, and either some type of tight fitting undershirt or longjohn. At first I thought he had on a bead choker, but on a closer look I thought maybe it was a high-buttoned neckpiece of a shirt or the top of a longjohns. Doesn't really look like he has on anything heavy under the henley from the way it hangs...

And thank you all for indulging and even encouraging my insanity.

I stopped into the LVC shop at the US Levi's yesterday and looked at some of the new stuff. The poplin shirt Entertainment posted is great in the flesh, there was also an Sunset one pocket over-dyed with, the salesguy told me, natural black indigo which I looked for on-line but could find nothing about. The rough, single-needle stitching looks really good.

LVC nowadays is a funny beast- a lot of the staple offerings like Ts and sweats and flannels don't really seem worth the price to me, but every season there are a couple of things that exceed expectation and look even better that the old LVC stuff did. These two shirts definitely do.

There was also a brand new offering- the '20s wool mackinaw they've done before (like this one from 2007is) in a new color, red and black plaid. Absolutely beautiful, but pricey (>$700).

This season's hang tag:

Setterman- i recently found a similar vest, though I paid $3 for mine, damn you for getting a better deal.

It is marked Small but looks small even for a 38" chest. I am wondering if, since there are no game pocket, these were meant to be snugly worn under a hunting jacket soley to hold shotgun shells?

Hey tv, what's that website called? maturepink.com? What does that mean? Put that thing away and talk about denim.

Stalking.

Pmd. I think they might have some cleverly destructed & rusted brand-new axes and handsaws for that Urban Logger look that goes so well with Redwings.

Definitely you need the pig beer-holding unit. Indispensable .

I don't mind plot as long as there are still nanobots and bitchy, synthetic Japanese pop stars.

:D:D:D:D:D:D

Shut up, dr. house.

thats right,roy6 is also wearing an brandnew IH shirt,brandnew ALD belt,brandnew IH jeans,brandnew Aeroleather front quarter horside jacket and a brandnew Carhartt cap.seems that his daisy(chrysanthemum) caring business goes pretty well.

Yes, recognition, thank you.

You forgot to mention my reproduction '60s pig with wheelbarrel beer holding unit, carefully distressed and covered in the finest imitation Irish Moss and faux dandelion seedlings. I stole it for only $399.99 from that rusticly manly hipster store in Portland, OR where you buy things that you don't really wear or use, but you would like for people to think you do, don't recall the name of it at the moment.

Just finished reading this:

I don't want to turn this thread into a book club, but I have always thought of William Gibson as a patron saint of Superfuture. One of the subplots involves a denim brand started by someone in a major American city who abandons her first career to start making jeans. They are only available if one is contacted by email. They have no branding except on the patch. Demand far exceeds supply. Sounds somewhat familiar. Though they are made of 20 oz denim.

I haven't been putting as much wear as I would like this summer because of the heat, but the weather has turned. Will post some pics of the jeans soon.

Would that be ms. Pollard? I've been wanting to pick this up- I'm a huge Gibson fan, but it seems every successive book packs a bit less punch than the last. If no one is being devoured by nanobots and chased be space-faring rastafarians while hanging from their fingers from a out-jutting hobo encampment plastered to the side of the Bay Bridge, I'm not really there.

Pattern recognition did have one of my favorite quotes of all time, where Pollard is describing the Tommy Hillfiger brand as a ""simulacra of simulacra of simulacra. A dilute tincture of Ralph Lauren, who had himself diluted the glory days of Brooks Brothers, who themselves had stepped on the product of Jermyn Street and Savile Row ... There must be some Tommy Hilfiger event horizon, beyond which it is impossible to be more derivative, more removed from the source, more devoid of soul."

Maybe RRL has gone beyond the TH event horizon? While I like some of their pieces, they all have a curiously flat, pupil-repelling quality, as if they don't entirely exist on this plane.

I wish I were German.

The '20s 201s. The '37 201 is only a '37 with the wrong lot number.

while we are talking of adorable body shapes:this turned up on facebook today:

showing an godalike almostnice in 1988.check the biceps.

my wardrobe at that time is to be neglected.

Ah, I see, so your old avatar was actually you.

Incidentally, antitheticallynice has commented on how several of my jackets do not fit properly- "child-sized", I believe he said, but let on that they would more properly fit him...

SOP.

I'm trying to pawn some 555 201s off on CrashTestBrummie- anyone care to voice their opinions on said- especially regarding shrinkage?

Where is electrum when you need him?

Damn, changeover. I guess we'll have another lady and a red-head joining the cast soon enough?

^I believe it is. I have scythed weeds, but not with an old-timey Grim Reaper scythe like that.

The Jeans are looking very, very good. In fact, I am starting to feel threatened.

More .

It is very sad, isn't it?

Poor almostnice.:(

That Lee suede jacket is amazing- so rare to see one not all stained up.

^A good idea! Marcus, since your jeans have so little wear, almost brand-new looking and all, you might as well cut them up and send the bits out to those of us who have put a little action into them.

Just saying...

The Clerk too, once you wash off that carefully applied plaster dust.

^Sure, Beatle, more than enough chickens & doughnuts to go round.

Thanks!

Last batch of chicken portraits, really:

Took another box home for the house- overnight some bartering seemed to have happened:
