  1. shoreman, LOL, I realize that my horsemeat discussion must have gotten lost in translation. My point was : Since many of us (including me) justify wearing leather stuff by rationalizing that we eat the animal's flesh for food first, that logic doesn't play out. Nobody hates ocelots or horses or cows or rabbits, do they ? Does everyone that wears Aero horsehide jackets enjoy eating a plate of horsemeat ? I seriously doubt it. So that poor fool who wore the ocelot and leather jacket deserves no more criticism than those of us who wear horsehide shoes and leathers but don't eat horsemeat. Personally, I don't know any human horsemeat connoisseurs

    but I'm sure they exist -- and such folks are more morally justified in wearing horsehide, for instance, than I am. Now, please...don't misconstrue my message as being "go cook up a plate of ocelots for supper". That's not my intent at all ! My point is...there's some hypocrisy in criticizing that ocelot jacket wearing fellow. Ocelots invoke much pity, because they are awfully cute...but so are horsies !

  2. MrHaGa, that coat made me sad too. But at times I

    feel like a hypocrite because I do like fine leathers and I'm

    a voracious meat eater (no horsemeat, though).

    It's kinda difficult to know where

    to draw the line, ya know ? I mean, I'd rather throw

    up than eat horsemeat, so is it really fair for me

    to wear horsehide ? Hence, I can also see

    almostnice's point of view.

    Anyway. Off to work today, yes on a weekend. Point of note:

    I'm not a big Windows OS fan (I love Linux) but I will choose

    Windows any day over a Mac (no disrespect Steve Jobs. Love you

    still).

  3. Big Eyed Fish you're a man after my own heart.

    Love your look. Especially LOVE THOSE BOOTS.

    As people know by now, I'm sort of a hiking boot addict.

    Actually, I don't understand why hiking boots can't

    be used interchangeably with work boots. Hikers

    seem far more versatile to me, and IMHO -- they

    always look great with denim ! almostnice always

    looks spectacular in his fits, and Red Wings are simply

    made for him. Red Wing, Wesco,

    White's, Viberg etc.. work boots are gorgeous indeed but I don't

    see the work boot genre tackling Mt. Whitney or similarly

    craggy terrain, I'm sorry. On the flip side, hiking boots

    these days are very comfortable, and

    unless I'm missing something -- they can be used

    in any vocation, hiking or welding or building shit,

    walking around...whatevs.

  4. Max Power, did you buy the belt from BIG ? The reason I ask is because at least with my belt (same as yours except rattlesnake version) had a warning on BIG's website, stating that the belt runs a bit small. It worked to my favor...I've always felt sz-32 Men's belts a bit awkwardly too long on me. But why can't you return the belt ? You can attempt to sell it on SuFu Marketplace...I'm sure you can sell it for $150-200. I know it's a loss but at least you will end up with a belt that fits you perfectly.

  5. Yeah, so I ended up dropping off my vintage eBay-bought

    Danners and Vasques on the stoop of the local Goodwill.

    I had to admit to myself that I wasn't thrilled about them.

    I'm sure there's lots of nice Vintage shoes out there but

    modern technology has really improved shoes (made

    them more comfortable, better fitting, and lighter). I've never

    been happy with pre-owned purchases off of eBay...

    SuFu is different though -- I've been very happy with

    stuff (denim) I've bought off of SuFu Marketplace.

    I ended up buying 2 pair of hiking boots brand-new

    off of Amazon, Vasque (owned by Red Wing,

    made in the USA) and Zamberlan (made in Italy) .

    FYI amazon.com in the US has a great sale going

    on hiking boots -- at least 20% off on many models !

    Off to work !

  6. I've noticed that the Europeans and Canadians are donning their

    winter overcoats and sweaters already. It's a bit too early for that in

    Northern California. I actually love this time of year...moderately

    warm but sunny. And yes, roy6, you're quite the looker.

  7. Rest In Peace Steve Jobs. Pic below of Steve and Woz as

    young men -- Steve in his typical Levi 501 jeans. Simple, modest,

    and unassuming, but Steve looks more attractive than most of

    us who post pics of ourselves regularly on SuFu in our $400++ jeans

    and $1000 head-to-toe outfits (I am no exception).

  8. Hi All. Hope life finds you well.

    I bought the boots I'm wearing (Vintage leather Vasque hikers --

    made in Italy) on eBay for a mere $30 (includes S&H).

    I LOVE THEM ! I also bought a beautiful pair of vintage

    Danner hikers ($60, includes S&H) on eBay, which you'll

    see soon in WAYWT (Jeans). I'll try and post closeups of

    both my Vasque and Danners in the boots section soon.

    The modern version of these Vasques

    I'm wearing are called "Sundowner" -- unfortunately

    made in China I think -- but good quality nevertheless,

    but I love the vintage look so much more.

    Vasque is owned by Red Wing actually.

    I've explained before that I'm not a work boot person...I feel

    odd wearing things that don't fit my lifestyle. I justify heavy

    denim only because I'm prone to feeling cold most of the time.

    ME:

    IH Heavy Chambray (XS)

    Nirvana Tee (S)

    Samurai Heavy Duty Rattler belt (32)

    Roy Nihon jeans (30)

  9. BTW, those ah_long, Sz31, S510XX-24OZ ? I just hot washed them and threw them in the dryer. They shrunk up CONSIDERABLY and look a lot better. I know that they were a bit baggy in that photo. Now they are perfecto.

  10. And a.khan, I really like those on you ! It's cool that

    though you're just a teenage boy, you beat to your own drum.

    Those SG1103EX are really flattering on you. They don't sag

    down like most teenage boys like to wear their pants

    (laxlife's IH 666 are sorta saggy but they still

    look adorable on him).

  11. Sorry for being annoying but today is largely dedicated to

    neglected fit pics. These I just purchased from

    ah_long, Sz31, S510XX-24OZ . As you would expect,

    the man gave me a smashing deal and I received them

    ridiculously quickly. The denim on these dance a fine

    balance between insane toughness, thickness and yes--

    even smoothness. They're very, very comfy. Can't wait to

    start wearing these...post wash/dry, I believe these

    would be 27-oz. ah_long soaked these once, I'll do

    the usual of hot wash/hot tumble dry before wearing them

    for real. Unfortunately, I'm not a motorcycle courier like

    evilcrayon...I probably don't deserve these and my

    evo will be totally lame, but oh well...

  12. ^honestly, i think we´ve seen wayy better fits on you. these look like bell bottoms on you... sry, just my 1 cent.

    No problem dude ! Opinions are always welcome. Yeah, they're

    definitely bell-bottoms on me but let me remind you...I LOVE DISCO

    music ! Saturday Night Fever is one of my all time fave movies ! ;)

    I'm old as fuck...it's kind of a generational preference.

  13. Fit Pic of my Sz 30, SG1103EX Heavy Weight Jean - Straight Leg

    which I bought at a great price from cute lil' laxlife1234.

    laxlife did not like these and considering that he's a teenage

    boy, I can understand why -- my nephews who are around lax's age

    wouldn't like them either. But I love them. These are

    BAR NONE my favorite fitting jeans. Seems like

    non-teenagers should fall in love with the fit of these (they

    are definitely high-waisted) but it must be that they

    didn't sell too well, as Kiya sold them off dirt

    cheap in a fire sale (less than half price ?) not too

    long ago. I don't understand...these are heavy, thick,

    every bit a contender with Samurai and IH...they

    are gorgeous, top quality and very flattering jeans.

    I'm kinda sad that they're not coming back to SESF.

    I wanted to buy another pair during Kiya's sale

    but just could not afford...:(
