decent denim is starting to show up more and more around here. you're lucky to go a day without seeing nudies. or maybe i just notice it more.

I once sold a guy a $10k outdoor furniture setting at least partly by commenting on the killer fades on his sams. He seemed amazed that someone else even knew what samurais were - as I said, everyone around here thinks nudies are the height of denim fashion

+ rep - loving the fit easy_hk

and where are you doing national service, bosco? also, where are you in the pic? looks like you're walking along the roadworks near great eastern hwy or something...

Hello again...from the last five weeks:

Five week holiday? Or just five weeks around home? Looks like a sweet place, wherever it is

as for me:

--

Red tee

APCs

Dr Martens

Gotta love Australian winter. Too warm for jackets

^^ truth

10 chars

black tee

N&F

Adidas

need a bigger mirror

Funny, I'm the opposite - I hated the styling of the mercs through the late 90s/early 2000s and love the new styling..

nonetheless, my five:

Plymouth hemi cuda

--

57 Chevrolet Bel Air - styled something like this

--

late model Volkswagon Touareg

--

Porsche 911 GT3 RS2 (probably just plain black though...)

--

And finally, my Nissan Patrol G60 - when I finally put it back together again...

--

Honourable mention:

80s Merc 500 SEC/560 SEC

i'd like to see more of the 7301s, so pop on over to Self Edge and cop a pair--if your size is available--and report back.

Wow, crazy coincidence. I didn't see your post until after I posted that last message - hadn't refreshed the page in a while.

Just copped a pair of the overdyed IH slim jeans in the 19oz selvedge.

TOO MUCH RAWR.

Will get some fit picks up when they arrive. wooo shipping to australia

not a NY story, but I was on the metro in paris and this busker jumped on and started singing. no guitar or music or anything, just singing. he was this junkie looking guy and had a really gravelly voice, like louis armstrong. most incredible voice. he kept winking and smiling at everyone around him.

when he finished up and came around for money, heaps of people gave him coins, he must have cleaned up - I think I gave him ~ two euro. every time he got any money he'd say "no tax, no government regulation" in french and wink.

the kicker? he was collecting money in an old oxycodone tin.

G-star - maybe an Australia thing

Diesel - same again

LV

Almost Anything that Aussies go to SE Asia to buy.

Pretty much everything Japanese nowadays, unfortunately. Especially Visvim.

Reservedly agree on visvim - heard amazing things about them and then went to check them out and was super disappointed - especially RE the denim stuff. Haven't actually handled or worn any of their stuff though...

Canada Goose

Nudies

Naked and Famous

I got some naked and famous skinny guys the other day - picked them up for $40AUD which I thought was a pretty sweet deal. Average quality raw selvedge for thrashing

IHx2 / Converse

The fit and fade on those jeans is sweet if I had rep I'd hit you up

Hey, does anyone know where to get IH in Perth, Australia?

Entirely possible there is nothing like that here. If so then I'll just cop from selfedge
