Awesome! You chat him up or what?

I agree with you that the difference between say some nice Roy's and random Levi's is a lot greater than the difference between a loopwheeled shirt and one not. That being said, you can easily pick up a random graphic tee for maybe 30 dollars from any mall store. And I think it's worth it to pay the 40 or so dollars more to get a tee that is softer (and way heavier in Iron Heart's case), has way better designs, fits better (for me at least), and has a collar that will never lose its shape. Those are the things that make me buy loopwheeled, especially from Flat Head.

That was funny, but have you ever actually contributed anything? No way you have 831 posts just trolling. 

Sounds good Kyle... And thank you aho, just ordered the denim bible.  If I like what I see I'll definitely have to check out what I can get in person! 

Is it worth it to track down a lightning mag even though I can't read Japanese?  I could probably get one from kinokuniya in costa mesa as its only about a 20 minute drive...

Very true, but I feel like tattoos are pretty common now.  Especially when you compare it to how esoteric the clothing is here.  When I see tattoos in person they mostly look pretty lame

It feels soft enough but sumotech is way more waxy than this stuff.  It feels very "fiber-y" if you could call that a thing.  The texture is pretty accurately documented in this pic.  

Best part of it is definitely the smell though.  Exactly like candy

It's crazy that now that I'm 18 I can actually get dope tattoos.  Not sure if looking at this thread is a good or a bad idea... I love all of the traditional stuff on here (mainly for the color.)  I'm guessing that americana tattoos are over-represented on sufu? I feel like I never see stuff like this on people just walking around

Suavecito makes great great stuff.  In my opinion their regular pomade is as good if not better than layrite's for half the price.  Also picked up their brilliantcreme and it's exactly what Ive been looking for.  Keeps hair back loosely without slicking it back and giving you that greaser look

I don't like denim that has been washed so infrequently that it basically looks as though it was pre-distressed.  Isn't the point of spending all this money on raw denim for it to look nice and natural?

I think you should be fine if you wait for a little stretch....

Perfect fit.

Those look sweet man.  I'm starting to see some promising whiskers... I really like the denim a lot more now that most of the hairiness is gone and its taken on more of a classic indigo color.

For sure.  If you're a fan of vintagey fading roys are really hard to beat...

You're a brave man.  Quoise, could I get some closeups of the denim and the back pocket areas? Damn you have me stoked for mine.  They're going to be perfect.  

FINALLY! Honestly might be the most faded pair of Roy's in a while. They look amazing

Yep the denim on those are amazing, maybe my favorite of all time.  I think after my Roys are nice and beat in a year or two I'll go for the 106bsp....

Yep I was about to tell you that I would love to, but didn't buy it from there.  Got a bunch of stuff from Japan a few weeks ago and I couldn't resist the temptation to pick that up too!  Oh well, that's the risk you take when ordering from those shops.  

It does always make me smile to see a retailer taking responsibility for things though.

I'm glad I'm not crazy for being bothered by that... I'm going to attempt to exchange it.  I'll update here with the outcome

Most definitely, but I'm not sure I'm too happy about these nicks... it looks like you can see through the plating

For sure.  I'd recommend your normal size for the buck tites.

This belt is sick! I'm a little nervous though as it fits me perfectly on the middle hole and not any tighter.  Keep it right? Not planning on getting huge soon or anything but you never know...

And it's going to be so hard not to wear this tee every day. I love it!

Definitely don't go with a 31.

Ben are those deluxeware sweatshirts loopwheeled?

Yep, I believe so.
