Double 0 Soul

I'll be walking.. it's just at the top of my road, they will be though, they've got an airbnb above the buddhist meditation center

I'm going out for a few pints tonight with bike forum people.. in your face denim forum people! Don't wait up...

Check the symmetry of the right heel.. No way these are Nike Tailwind.. listed on eBay.. 100% seller, NIB with no legit check

Oh... and for those who've only been around for a few years or are yet to do some deep thread mining.. these are 3 classic sufu threads Ie- "I've just cum on my jeans but i wasn't planning on washing for a few more months.. what's the best way of dealing with this situation? " There are / were even photographs attached It could only happen here!

I spotted these while walking through student-ville last week.. ..they were in the window of one of the flats, I couldn’t see what they were and it wasn’t immediately apparent so I held my phone above my head and stood on my tiptoes to get a photo then went back to work and found them on the webz luckily nobody saw me.. if you think this is unusual behaviour, just imagine the sneax are jeans and it’ll make perfect sense

Don't mess with me Carl! Anything can happen they way my brain interprets certain words.. We have a forum member here called olmecasteve.. i know it's a nonsensical word but it sends my dyslexia wild My brain knows him as omelette steve

Folks in the UK.. go look at the night sky people! it looks incredible.. The 7 planet alignment is on the 28th but it's so clear tonight.. i can see beehive without binoculars

Agreed.. my three previously mentioned laptops, first one i bought was from these smakheads .. they used to pull up in a car and rush the Tesco my near work running out with arms full of booze speed off in the car.. then go sell it around the nearby workshops.. one day i bought a laptop from them for something like £50.. it was fked, i had to manually defrag the thing daily .. then i bought a black Macbook A1181 in 2007 remember when they were either black or white? I had it for years.. loved the thing, then my toddler knocked cherry juice over it and fried the motherboard, i hadn't backed it up for ages and it was full of my baby photos so i sent it away and had the HD put into a usb transport with a request to "please save my baby photos".. which they did and put them on a separate drive.. I've still got that HD it's messy but it's also full of the clothing photos from the old storage room days.. when i photographed them all to list them on ebay.. i'll pick through it one day and see what i can recover.. after that trauma, i bought a 2012 macbook pro which i'm still using today I was an early adopter of phone tech.. not quite city-boy brick era.. but i did have a Sony H333 in 1993 (ish).. what folks called the mars bar phone.. this was in the days when some of my friends still used pagers.. i bought it from Dixons the highstreet electrical shop.. it was in the days before phone-shops existed.. even back then i was paying something like £28/mth line rental and 30p /min for off peak calls and 50p /min peak .. i used to get a new phone every year.. then one died in a cycling rainstorm so i bought a £20 burner from Tesco.. i left it on the beach in my pack while i was off catching crabs with the boy.. when i got back it was gone so i just thought fkit! i don't need a phone and i didn't have one for 5 or 6 years thereafter... I've always repaired my own jeans (within reason).. never been happy with any of the results, always drawn blood! .. i find that once they get to that stage their days are numbered.. my many hours spent results in justr a few more weeks of wear.. it's just not worth my (poor) efforts.. i have three pairs awaiting crotch repairs, now MrB has a darning machine.. i might send them all down for repairs.. Only sufu hook'ups i've had was Sugar Mountain (remember him?) i sold him some McCoys goodies.. he'd previously hooked up with Ranon, (maybe) flash and Ed a few times.. he did say Ed was far removed from his sufu persona.. a lot more sensible and 1000% less offensive.. in fact, quite charming! I think he (SM) went to live in Taiwan or maybe Singapore.. (i can't quite remember) he married a girl from there..

Shush! You.. you’re ruining my narrative

You pulled that out of the bag Ooms.. ! 3/4s of the way down.. it was like you'd nvr heard of the place. Clothing aside.. i turned away from consumerism years ago @Cold Summer the only reason i still buy expensive things is because i don't want to buy them again .. i've only ever owned 3 laptops.. my DSLR is 20+yrs old.. I've only recently got a secondhand iphone having not owned a phone for years and not because i wanted one.. just became life became so difficult / bordering on the impossible without one. But i do have a collectors mentality which left unchecked, gets a bit out of control.. before my kid was born.. his soon to be bedroom was my clothing / sneaker storage room.. i had two metal shop rails on wheels full of jackets, you could barely open the door without knocking over boxes of sneakers pilled up to the ceiling.. i was buying stuff and just shoving it in the room.. out of sight.. out of mind. When my kid was born in 2009.. i realised how little any of it meant to me and just took the collection back to current wearers / what would fit in the wardrobe. It didn't stop.. it just slowed down momentarily while i adjusted to parenthood, then i started buying jeans again.. i thought i'd buy a pair of engineer boots.. but because i don't want to "buy cheap buy twice" i bought an insanely expensive pair.. and because of the previously mentioned 'collectors mentality' within 12mths i'd spent £6000 on a small collection of hand made boots.. this was on top of my lace up boots.. every pair was black (same with the lace ups) they all looked the same I was the first person outside Japan to buy Clinch from Brass..(you can probably blame me for the CSF thing too) did i wear any of these boots.. no not really, my life centered around my kid, all my leisure time was spent knee deep in mud wearing wellies.. out in the woods fishing, collecting tadpoles, bike riding, camping or hiking in the Peaks.. i rarely got the opportunity to wear £1600 boots (so why did you buy so many?... good question) i decided to wear the cheapest pair of fancy engineers in the workshop (that is their intended purpose after all) but they were fucked in a few short months so i sold them on. I spent years and 100s of hours painstakingly collecting every colour of ultra-rare 1990s era Buckweat sneakers.. never wore any of them and sold them on to MJF9 for a song When we moved house 7ish years ago i had another rethink / sell off.. it's these life affirming moments like kids being born, house purchases which makes me reassess.. i haven't bought any sufu-related clothing since 2017.. the last item being a Stan Ray SunSurf shirt from PSA. The social commentators will tell you.. "buying clothing always leaves you wanting more, feeling unfulfilled and empty inside".. i've got to admit, it was all a massive waste of money but i did thoroughly enjoy it.. researching, tracking down and buying rare items of clothing was exciting and with that gone, there is less joy in my life.. but do i feel happier and more contented inside?.. absolutely not.. i feel exactly the same.

We all justify it in different ways..

Nice to see PrettyBoyTony in WAYWT making highstreet labels look no different to denim-snob labels.. it's how this place used to be, we all came here as denim nerds but before too long, due in part to our pathetic inability to resist consumer urges we were all wearing head to toe sufu approved brands.. I've always tried to resist buying fancy t-shirts, £5 Gildan tees fit me perfectly so why spend £40 on Whitesville tees..? folks working at the Whitesville factory in Japan will probably have better working conditions than the folks working at the Gildan factory in Haiti .. but then, with the lack of employment opportunities in wartorn, earthquake struck Haiti.. i'm sure any work, (apart from working down the old poison mine) is better than no work at all so should i buy tees from Haiti or not? are Gildan taking advantage of cheap labour.. probably, yes. So why do I/we feel compelled to use the "im paying a little more to ensure better working conditions" argument when buying clothing yet only today on my way home from work, i called at Tesco to buy some ramen and zero fucks were given for the folks working in the Chinese noodle factory.. their working conditions could be terrible but i just tossed them in the basket along with everything else i bought from far off lands.. only drawing the line at Dr Oetker I appreciate there is a lot of clothing we crave here which can't be bought on the UK highstreet (for less than car money) our jeans for one with all their period correct intricacies.. i also appreciate those folks buying expensive tees could say the same thing.. but we didn't come here as t-shirt nerds.. the forum manipulated us into buying expensive t-shirts.. ..or Aliens ring coat for two.. you would struggle to find anything akin to this on the highstreet, therefore it is worth buying.. but if you take a flannel shirt for instance .. i've bought a few Woolrich varieties from the local vintage joint for work shirts.. a step up in price would be Uniqlo followed by M&S, SC, UES.. IH then RO with £1000 separating the cheapest from the most expensive for essentially something that looks quite similar.. even to me.. The shirt-nerds would strike me down in flames.. but again, we didn't come here as shirt nerds.. the forum made us into shirt nerds, it's not called Supershirts is it?

I used to see quite a few ring coats over on DB.. They’re not an easy garment to pull off.. I thought your buttoned up fit later in the thread was ok but the unbuttoned one on pg3 was fantastic.. up there with the best I’ve seen.

What the hell are you doing on the Fendi site?

Fixed it.. jacket was nice too tho!

Stand outs for me are.. smoothsailors Cresent Down, Broarks Sasquatch, rbeck's varsity jacket, Prettyboytony's vintage puffer, Alienlovemachines ring coat (the fit on pg3) .. Indigoeagle entire outfit on pg3 (chefs kiss) and JW's great lakes jumper.. all very nice!

Its been bugging me.. could it have been? ..albeit, maybe a chinese dragon rather than a tiger

I've seen them^ at a few Japanese web shops.. i quite like them

That's great news! congrats on the furniture .. but more so the house purchase, no mean feat in today's economy

Lovely!.. the knits look mint to say how faded it is

My summer shoe for this year.. Nike Elite 1978 repros.. from 2018 Original materials and detailing Suade is slightly faded and washed out.. Tongue and foam mid has slight yellowing to mimic vintage originals Waffle sole, exposed foam tongue.. Phwoar! Vintage 1977 Nike advert.. repros come with both blue and white laces.. 1978 Nike ad..

I treat my ride to work and back like a time trial.. so when i arrive, i'm usually perspiring.. i'm wearing a snug fitting cycle jersey which is 82% recycled polyester.. i can't wash it in the evening and get it dry for morning.. especially not at this time of year so it only gets washed on a Sunday.. even though it's man made fibre, it still smells fresh at the end of the week.

In hindsight Charlie.. i should have explained the 'trends' with a bit more clarity.. rather than some half-remembered, cobbled together post. I wasn't expecting such a great response, thanks for humouring me everyone

"Worn denim while raw" I remember folks buying raw denim, wearing them to set very crisp combs, washing them after 3 or 4 months and the combs would be half way up the back of the thighs.. "aw! bollocks" This^ was the trend i was alluding to.. did anyone do this and regret it? I'm not much of a washer at the best of times.. i've had jeans which i've never washed but i've always got the shrinkage out first, I've never worn them raw. I had a pair of SC47s which i didn't wash for nearly a decade but they did have a few agitated soaks in the bath tub.. i didn't want them to show machine marks.. marbling, fade lines and such.. The caveat here is, if my jeans were stinky, i would wash them for sure but i don't tend to produce body odor.. (like prince andrew) i don't even need to use a deodorant I just spray a bit of tree huger citrus essence.. i can wear socks for days, even my shoes which i wear all day at work have zero smell.. The fancy detergent trend for me was the Sugarcane sachets which are quite good but very expensive (i was given a box from Hirofumi at Vari) the other washing trend for me was Dr Bronners pure soap.. but my jeans always felt a bit greasy to the touch as though the soap hadn't been fully rinsed out in the machine, i would often run them through a second rinse before bagging it off and going back to Fairy Non Bio...
