Great fades on those Ironalls!
-
Thanks! Dubble Works Sweats.
-
Same size too!^^^ I would have loved to have found the brown version too. It was already a past season when I got this one.
-
On oldie from FW. Montauk pattern. Trying to remember what year. 2010-ish?
-
There's something called saddle soap that I would imagine working ok.

Or you could sew the two ends together, the buckle remaining just for show.

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
CSL replied to minya's topic in superdenim
I wonder if they were a display model that they cuffed up like that? I don't see anything else that suggests they might have been worn and returned. I'd certainly let them know. You might be due at least a discount on your next purchase. -
There's some good stuff in there but man does this have me confused.
-
Glad to hear you got a quick result, Pedro.

Pendleton / WOM / Red Wing.

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

Well I wasn't suggesting this as a potential activity. Just a random anecdote. -
SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
CSL replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Speaking of Barcelona, one time when I was there for music the fellow I was playing with had me stay in a friend's apartment in a part of the city that was supposedly kinda sketchy - he'd pointed at an upstairs dwelling and implied it was a brothel. One night when we weren't working I'd gone out on the town, and when done had walked to a taxi rank. When I gave the address to a driver he showed it to one of his colleagues who speaking in English, (I guess so I could fully experience his disgust and be publicly shamed and embarrassed...) started shouting, "He wants to go see strippers and prostitutes!" I tried to protest my innocence but it was futile... -
Thanks MJF9! Yes. This is true. I'm usually practicing piano in the wee hours. Thankfully Mrs. CSL can sleep through that.

I've managed to move a few items with Grailed but most have say for way too long. I guess I'm too fussy about pricing... I'm constantly buying on ebay (mostly records and vintage microphones) but it's been years since I've sold anything. I do have plans to thin out my clothing collection so will be listing some things soon. Of course I'll post the things here first.

I was keen on a place called Milano Cocktail Bar that had a large menu of gin and tonic variations, but I think it may have closed at this point. -
@Pedro I've not found Grailed to be a very effective selling platform for our kind of clothing. I think ebay would probably be your best bet, but by all means give it a try on the sales thread here first.

I don't think there's a dedicated eyeglasses topic, so while we're on the subject here are the Globe Specs model I got recently from Selfedge. The shape is a bit of a departure from the 40s/50s-ish shapes I've had before but I think it works. Shirt is Freewheelers btw.
-
Apparently so. If I had been I wouldn't have sold my vintage pieces for low-hundreds when I could be getting thousands today.

Thank you Maynard. The super bloom area is on Soda Lake Road which runs up to California Valley. Some of it is unpaved so we've never driven all the way through. It's actually considered Southern California. Our place is on 20 acres. Never dreamed I'd be a land owner but we liked the house, which we bought when the market was at rock bottom and the land came with it. We're totally off the grid, not connected to anything. I think that's what put off other buyers. Propane (which has to be delivered) is our biggest expense. We have solar panels, batteries, etc. A very out dated system at this point, but functional.
-
Are any of them actually fetching those kind of prices?
-
This has truly been one of the nicest winters here. On most mornings I've been able to go out and exercise, shirtless while soaking up some sun (not today as it's foggy). Once the sun goes down it cools off and by midnight gets down in the 30s, sometimes a bit below freezing. A nice balance.
-
@julian-wolf Thanks! Actually Death Valley is almost 300 miles from here. We're much closer to the coast. I'd like to visit Death Valley again. I've only done a brief drive-through.
-
Vintage. Not sure of brand.
-
It's way early for wild flowers but since we've had a wet year and it's been a warm February, they are starting to bloom.
-
Yes. I did see that, Broark. Definitely tempting.
