Just got back from twelve day trip to Japan. Here are a few photos from the trip.

I went Corter for the quality, but also the price is much more affordable in my opinion.

I'll be in Japan during King of Tattoo this year!! The woman I booked my tour with said we will be going for one of the days. My mind is blown! All of my favorite artists in one building.

SHIGE/TOMO from YellowBlaze

Horiyoshi III

Horikitsune

Mutsuo 3 Tides

Akatsuki from Red Bunny Tattoo

Mr Big Sleeps

Wido de Marval

Yushi Horikichi Takei

Some photos I took at the Edmonds Classic Car Show on Sunday

Girls and some Japanese Tattoos/Art
 

Picked these up from Jay at BlueOwl Workshop. I've lost a ton of weight recently changing my diet and workout routine. So I needed some denim that actually fit me. The fit is perfect! I never thought I'd be wearing a size 30W! Also this is my first pair of denim I've had hemmed. Per their recommendations I took off 6" and they look great! Japan Blue Skinny JB0206. Can't wait to break these in!

Some photos I shot at Lake Crescent Lodge in the Olympic Peninsula.

Just finished up my arm a week ago with Yushi Takei from Hanky Panky's Amsterdam Tattoo. Start my back in Tokyo in October with Hori Han.

Is anyone else as stoked as I am about this Momotaro X Blue Owl Workshop 15.75oz Denim Jacket that is dropping in the Fall?? I've been on the hunt for a good denim jacket and I really like the deep indigo on this one. Can't wait to see it in person in a couple months!

My Tanner Goods Workman Wallet and short tether about 12 months in. No oiling or anything just been letting it get natural patina.

I just bought the Oj surfers on acid 58s which i really like

 

the matt hensleys are nice as well, I own both

Yea I've been tempted by OJs, but I am a die hard fan of the Classic Spitfire shape. Been skating them so long it's hard to switch to anything else. I tried some Bones SPFs and honestly didn't get all the hype for them.

Yea just checked the Spitfire site looks like 99 comes in Classic and 58 so I'll go that route. I've heard the same about the 101A

Didn't dig through the thread but here are the places I frequently shop:
Blackbird R.I.P.

Kuhlman

Ian

BlueOwl Workshop
Deli Seattle( No Idea when they will re-open though)
Filson 

Skateboard/Streetwear:
Alive and Well in Capitol Hill
Recess in the U-District
Stussy Capitol Hill
Black Market Skateshop Belltown
35th North 

I've been slippin I've lived in Seattle my whole life and have yet to check out Portland. But man I need to get down there soon to do lots of shopping!! 

Those Taka Collabs are sick!! I work at the Vans store in Lynnwood, WA. It sucks we never have any way to get our hands on any Vault or Syndicate shoes. But 50% off all Vans keeps me around! haha

My two homies just finished their album and this is one of their singles. Some dope REAL Hip Hop!

Going to Tokyo for the first time in October!! Can't wait! I will be going to Horiyoshi III's painting Exhibition, King of Tattoo Convention, will visit many temples and shrines, and also begin my full body in Japanese tattoo with HoriHan Sensei!

If by heavyweight you mean 20 oz and above, IH is your choice. Besides the 20 oz denim of e.g. the 2015, FH doesn't do denim, that qualifies as heavy here. but if you come from normal jeans, the 14,5 or 16 oz will already feel pretty heavy.

Yea I was referring to over 20oz denim. Just have to sell my Elephant 2s that are too big so I can put that money towards a pair of denim that fits me! haha

You have a lot of choice in Seattle. Spokane for whites, danner near by, bakers in Eugene, wesco up that way too.... You can get measured and fitted for all of those.

Thanks I forgot about Whites and Bakers I'll look into them as well!

no but I rode them, they hold up well unlike other spitfires, the 97 or the 99 A?

They only offer the 58mm in 101A I believe so they will be hard as hell!! haha

I'll be honest I'm a bit lazy. Anyone got a quick simple answer to Iron Heart vs. The Flat Head Denim?? I am looking into getting my first pair of heavy denim. I work out quite a bit so i have some beefy thighs, but prefer slight tapering from the knee down.

Thanks!

Anyone cop a set of the new Spitfire Formula Fours?? I'm gonna snag a set of 58mm Classic Shape ones next paycheck!

My two current favorite are Leafer Madness IPA and Bridgeport Hop Czar!
