the good ol days when games weren't diluted by silly things like athlete safety.

My hat was covered in pins. I’ll dig them up from the box and see what i have

Thought I'd share some of my favorite hats I've been wearing a lot lately. Made in USA 1996 Summer Olympics hat I got in 1996 when I lived in Georgia and got to go to some events. My parents kept it all this time and brought it when they visited us. I also scored a cool University of California, Berkeley hat on eBay for cheap. Quality is very questionable but I like the funny bear.

I think the jeans could look good on someone else. the models look like skinny lanky dudes where anything this loose will fit a little dumpy on them. esp the older man....no shade to him at all but he def seems like he has the older man saggy body build.

def the issue here is lack of transparency. A brand can make their products wherever they deem best for their business with materials from all over the world and charge whatever prices they need to make it work but it's a shitty practice to use marketing jargon to essentially lie to the average consumer who take phrases like Made in USA at face value and still believe that it automatically means it's a better product that warrants a higher price. I do agree that the whole made in ____ phrase is more and more problematic and as companies continue to push the limits of what those phrases mean and force governments to precisely define it legally, the more meaningless that phrase means and then you have brands like Shinola who change the phrase to "built in USA" because they couldn't legally use Made in USA...🙄 The OSB response was kind of crazy. It really did use so many words to say nothing and not even try to address the issue that I thought I missed significant parts of the response somehow.

I never followed OSB closely but I always got the impression that they were very marketing oriented with all the right buzzwords and vagueness so this isn't that surprising...didnt expect viberg to chime in like this but we were due for some boot drama. I remember reading about the Alden situation but it still blows my mind how he was able to embezzle that much with no one noticing and then get what seems like a relatively light sentence.

oh my god. sick fades. how many washes??

I worry that all I'll be able to remember when I'm 90 are the weights of fabrics

he's helping them with a new concept of airport stores where all the snacks, magazines and neck pillows are preorder only but you'll never receive them.

oh wow he also comes right out and namedrops WHranch.

I look forward to meeting all your spouses and saying "I've heard so much about you"

Do you know if he left Japan Blue and started Omoto? I couldn't tell if it was a separate thing or if it was another brand owned by the PE firm that bought Japan Blue Group

I guess it depends on the artist's approach on how they want to go about promoting themselves and what's working for them but the album format is still very relevant on the music industry side if you're trying to get a record deal, write ups, articles, reviews, schedule a tour, etc because companies and people working in the music industry still put a lot of value on you having an album to promote which then they can release songs steadily ahead of the release. This may all change as things continue to evolve and younger people who grew up in this new era of music but from conversations I've had when I was talking to labels and companies about releasing music I've worked on and also hearing some friends now who are in process of negotiating their own deals, the album is still very relevant.

I used to not really care for black warp/white weft jeans but I've come to appreciate it as an alternative to black warp/black jeans when I want a black outfit but not be too monochrome. There have been a lot of great options for black warp/white weft popping up lately....I personally went with the Boncoura version which I thought looked closer to black than silver/gray. For all black fabrics, I have a few favorites for different fits....currently I really like the wide leg RS fit from 3sixteen. it's def a modern wide leg but I think it's really easy to wear and drapes nicely. The sugar cane 1947 black fit is a classic straight that I've had multiples of and I also wear my Stevenson Encinitas black jean when I want a slimmer look. I agree with reallypeacedoff that the samurai BK fabric is really good too.
