No idea what she brought!! But they're fucking ace I got them for £190 last December in a 'sale' - bargain eh! Superstar prices vary... decent versions of the same basic trainer model can be what £90 to £130. So there's a uptick on these of around £60 to £100. I love 'em so I'm happy - faux croc tick, funny exaggerated stitching around the heel tick, upgraded materials for more comfortable wearing tick, nice laces with a really nice spare blue pair tick... I'm a sucker for a nice pair of shell toes Whilst we're at it, I bought some Adidas Jabber Hi recently. I was taken by Lightening mag pic of some re-issued Jabber Hi with light blue stripes. So I went on a hunt. Vintage were OTT and trashed. Then I found some in Japan, re-issues. They would have been iirc £180 plus shipping. Non of the sellers would post with low value. Then I found a pair in Slam Jam (Italy) but with black stripes... but for £38 in the sale, iirc £50 shipped. Black stripes for £50 or light blue same shoe for £250ish. I went black, got the dopamine hit and forgot the light blue... until now...

Really good thanks mate. Both Mos Def and Talib Kweli were on top form. They did a load of old Blackstar from the first album, then a bit of their own stuff including Get By by Talib and Ms Fat Booty making a big deal of Aretha Franklin's voice. Lowkey got the crowd going well as warm up. Blackstar came out to a nice tribute to D'Angelo with Devil's Pie and they closed out with that before an encore iirc. The DJ from San Francisco was excellent but I never caught his name. I've seen Talib Kweli three times now and he's consistently good. I wanted to see Mos Def for ages - he did a show in London last year doing Madlib but we missed out. Definitely worth seeing if they come down your way Smooth

At Last / Buaisou / Canes / @Duke Mantee / Adidas x Wales Bonner / Rototo... very blue today

Watched Blackstar (Talib Kweli, Mos Def) last night in Manchester, with a surprise appearance as support from Lowkey... excellent, unlike my terrible low resolution pictures Venue was Victoria Warehouse, in clear sight of Old Trafford football stadium where Man Utd play Luckily I'd left my helmet and my drone at home so I had no trouble getting in Kapital, Freewheelers, At Last 162, @Duke Mantee, Adidas x Wales Bonner

there's a well worn pair of Levin Scheme up there too

£2,282 for the tux 😮

@cultpop 0217 Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing them with us... do you have a favourite?

@81FXR look forward to the fit pics. There's a good story and business model with CC. A family friend mentioned it to us some years ago. My wife got me a black merino scarf from there which is really nice and she has a wash bag, trousers which she put lots of wear into then sold at a healthy price on vinted and some other stuff. Looks like it's expanded lots since I looked before... I like the jobs they have saved and created in particular

Nice jeans the M41101 though Neal!

Great reasons above for why having different denim jackets in different sizes, lengths, denim weights, indigo shades and lining combinations is absolutely essential 😁

I'll get the ball rolling as I was up early (if anyone wants to kick it off instead, please let the mods know and swap it over... all good with me ) Wishing you and yours all the very best for 2025!! New year, old gear... Freewheelers / Lofgren

We already have the 'How many pairs of jeans do you own?' thread However conspicuous by its absence is the 'How many denim jackets have you got?' thread So high time we get this thread going!! The following are all encouraged… posting your denim jacket count to answer the thread exam question (though the number itself matters not), pictures of your happy denim jacket family, any denim jacket stories… and, of course, anything else even loosely related...
