Damn, that sort of response is really disappointing to see.

Long time no log in… I moved from the UK to South Carolina earlier this year, spent 7 weeks in Japan in between and now settling into southern life. 

 

 

Love the cars! I'm really into older cars, I recently picked up a mid 90s Oldsmobile wagon with low mileage in great condition, and just love it. Not nearly as old school as these cars of course, but the design dates from the mid-80s.

I'd love to own a big ridiculous cozy mid-60s to mid-70s land yacht like the one in the first pic someday. I really like Oldsmobile, Buick, Mercury, the mid-level luxury American cars.

It’s not a 98 Oldsmobile is it? 😆

That’s Pontiac GTO by the way

Yeah, serves me right for not looking more closely, not exactly Land Yacht... but a handsome vehicle from the era of peak US auto design, regardless.

There’s always been a part of the whole…online milieu…that’s been a really weird and uncomfortable seeming bunch. Take a few wrong turns down various denim adjacent rabbit holes (nostalgia, for instance) and you can end up in some bad places.

Question regarding vintage Levi's 501s:

Did the seams really pucker so much like they do on Japanese repros?

I am wearing my CSF right now and was astonished about the amount of puckering on my front pocket seams.
Didn't really notice this on vintage 501s so far.

No mate, It's just the usual artistic license.

Just came back from watching the Bikeriders movie.  Pretty good.  Not gonna post spoilers.  Matt Codina from Codina Leather made belts for Tom Hardy in the movie.
