  1. As long as there are no holes in the garments and the seams are strong, I don’t see any major issues. Loose threads can be trimmed, or you can wear them as is if someone likes that. I’d prefer the former. I won’t buy these myself; I still have two pairs of FC from previous years that I’ve barely started wearing. I am a slow wearer.
  2. Alternatively, the pitbull lawyer could avoid touching the pants and only try to pinch off the arcs and cut off the tag on the go.

    In India, you can see the swastika everywhere. The symbol holds various meanings, and in everyday life, it is believed to bring good fortune in a material sense. That’s why swastikas can be seen on the doors of small shops and stores. Here are a few photos I took in Tiruvannamalai, a holy city in southern India. In the first one, swastikas, along with three lines and tridents—symbols of Shiva—are captured somewhere within the vast Arunachalesvara Temple complex. Also, within the same complex, there’s a hexagram on one of the gates. However, in India, it has its own meaning, unrelated to Judaism. Another swastika is on the emblem of a house gate, indicating that followers of Jainism religion live there.
  4. I agree. My old pro and previous air sounded worse. Something happened in the last couple of years, I guess Apple managed to get a sound designer or a designing team with golden ears 🙂.
  5. It seems to me that Apple has found a very good sound for their products. I like how music sounds directly from my MacBook Air. It’s a mystery how they managed to achieve this, given the minimal thickness of the case. Where does such good sound come from?
  6. Yes, I know. I happily left behind my years of obsession with high-end gear—tube amps, ribbon loudspeakers, esoteric cables, network switches, $100 fuses, and so on. Now I listen to Beethoven and Schubert from Qobuz streaming through mid-priced Beyerdynamic headphones and am completely happy with my music 🙂
  7. What was missing from this forum were debates about sound quality, comparisons of different types of audio equipment, and discussions on whether different cables sound different, or they all transmit the signal the same way.
  8. Yes, of course. I just mentioned derbies as a type of regular shoe. That is, not high boots, not loafers, not moccasines, etc.
  9. Could you please recommend brands that make good suede shoes? Such as Derby type shoes? What are preferences and satisfactory experiences?
  10. Perhaps the anticipation was a significant reason for staying in shape all these years...🙂
  11. Update: In the top position is librapondus Waist Overall (rebuilt) — no questions regarding the cut, as all the measurements were discussed and confirmed with Ono-san during the ordering process. The details are impressive, the deviation from perfection is barely noticeable, not intrusive, just the way it should be, with a slight touch of wabi-sabi. As for the denim, the Last Resort used by Ono-san is also a perfect hit, I like absolutely everything about it: the texture, color, density, and feel (never had Jelado's denim before). An undisputed winner. My top favourites also include Full Count and Freewheelers, both the cut and the denim are practically perfect. TCB denim can be added here too, although there are some reservations regarding the cut. I still love OA, though denim is somewhat bland to my taste.
  12. Beckman boots were my first serious shoes, bought years ago. I liked almost everything about them, except for the very low heel, which also wore down fairly quickly on the outer edges. I thought about replacing it, but never got around to it and ended up selling them cheaply to a friend, who is quite happy and still wearing them. Hope you will be glad to use them.
  13. Replaced the laces with more comfortable ones, hope it’s not sacrilege)
  14. Ono-san and I share some similarities in our musical tastes. Today, I’ll listen to an album by John Jenkins, the cover of which is clearly visible in the video.
  15. From my experience with Samurai and SDA, I can say that after the first wash, they practically don’t shrink in length during subsequent washes. You can leave an extra 1 cm for peace of mind. For raw denim, you can assume they’ll shrink by 4-5 cm, but it’s better to check online stores that sell these models, where you can find information about shrinkage.

  17. I believe this is the sort of Singer I saw in the IG profile of Isamu san. Correct? 🙂
  18. New MOTO in brown Horween's Latigo just arrived.
  19. Warehouse Lot 1082, caught a restock.
