Fair question. It's tricky because the products are different and there's something to be said for the creative/design efforts of MF, not to mention that MF and SC target different customers. I'm not sure about differences in cutting & sewing costs despite the collaborative manufacturing efforts. Perhaps the takeaway is that BR and SC are indeed the incredible deals we know them to be.

Lot 64 LHT Cone...very slow & subtle fades, but such a cool fabric. Meanwhile, is the new Snipes chambray made with the same Buzz fabric as BR's own USN chambray? Nice details, but quite the premium price if it is the same fabric.

I had been saving a pair of 1101s w/arcs that I got about a year ago, thinking I'd keep them nice and only wear them for work events and social outings. Now that I'm working from the home office for the next 12 months minimum and no longer spending nights out on the town, that plan seems pointless. Thanks for the inspiration @irual, my 1101s are now officially in the weekly rotation!

@julian-wolf Some kind of lackadaisical free association psychology motif took me from your Avalanches track to Prince Paul's "Psychoanalysis: What Is It?"

My 47s just about dry after some time in the sun:

There's only one article of clothing I own that's sure to outlast me no matter how long I live: this 19oz duck coat from SDA. I remember putting it on the first time--winter of '15-16, I believe--and thinking uh-oh this is actually going to hurt to break in. Favorite buttons of any item I own. Zinc laurels with copper shafts? (I'm not sure what that piece is called):

great info as always, @julian-wolf!

^Nice! Great pockets on those leepros...looks a lot like oki denim.

@Double 0 Soul Kid Koala...what a blast from the past! Ninja tune and Warp artists came through Chicago often while I was in grad school in the early-mid 2000s. It was a great scene in those days. I'm fairly certain I permanently lost some hearing in my left ear at an inhumanely brutal and amazing Squarepusher show. I've got a million more old stubs here and there, but here's a few:

^nice @ecsong187! I really envy the pocket bags on those midnight 64s. Not much noticeable happening with my LHTs yet, but I gave them a second soak the other day (warm this time) to see if there was any more shrinkage before hemming them and they actually shrank below/past the MF chart specs. Cone being cone everything stretched right back out after a day of wear. The inseam, though, is down to 33.5" so no hem needed, just a nice simple double cuff.

Unionmade carried them and JCrew also carried Shuttle Notes shirts a year or two ago as part of their "in good company" / "brands we like" cross-brand offerings.

Nice list @Suitedupmon! We watch Eyes Without a Face a few times a year in our house. Halloween night usually comes down to that or The Innocents (dir. Jack Clayton). Have you seen Wenders' Until the End of the World? Criterion released it on blu ray recently with a 287-minute version. I've not seen it before, but it's on the list to buy.

+1 for Clerks from this 90s mallrat skater from New Jersey!

^ Duke's FW collection reminds me of the old Milton Berle male anatomy joke: he's going to pull out however much he needs to win. The real question is when is @Duke Mantee going to give us his write-up of "The Petrified Forest?"
