what non-denim things do you collect?

[swooc]

is there an online resource similar to superfuture for audiophiles?

You can try audiogon? I'm not sure if it fits your needs though. I think they talk about gear more as oppose to actual components of equipment. Theres also the diyaudio forum.

[superBobo]

Very, very nice Dave!

Very, very nice Dave!

If only my girlfriend didn't think I'm nuts I'd go for the Barbour Bushman jacket...héhé

[Serge d Nimes]

here's a question for serge and i5tioneyes: is there an online resource similar to superfuture for audiophiles? i'm not talking about head-fi money splurging; rather i'm thinking about learning more about the equipment, technology, as well as the heritage and vintage pieces.

i5tioneyes - nice. roughly how many albums do you have there? and how long have you been collecting?

Audiogon.com is the superfuture of audio. Insead of "what are you wwearing today" threads, people post pics of their ridiculous stereos.

[thinkfilm28]

[poopslush]

Mostly records and toys for me.

Barbour International jacket

Belstaff classic trialmaster jacket

BTW, girlfriend thinks I'm nuts!!!

Have you been looking through my wardrobe?

I have a quilted olive Barbour International, a black Belstaff Trialmaster, a tan Belstaff Urban, a black Belstaff XL500, a light grey linen Belstaff Khartoum and a beautiful new navy blue Belfresh Belstaff bought from American Classics in Covent Garden (although you couldn't get LESS American than Belstaff, with its British-Italian influences!), although I don't know the model. I really regret not buying the Che repro when American Classics were stocking it.

[dave023]

I do also have the black XL 500 T...great jacket too...but I only wear my classic trialmaster jacket.

The ché repro is THE ultimate belstaff jacket IMO, I think you can still get it on a german site

I just love how waxed cotton ages!!

[dave023]

BTW do you wear your classic trialmaster with the belt?

[CAFC]

BTW do you wear your classic trialmaster with belt?

I do. I think it makes it look smarter. I can never get that fitted look when I tie the belt up at the back. It's either like a corset or too loose.

I bought my Trialmaster about two years ago from a scooter shop in the UK when they hadn't really taken off as anything other than motorcycle wear. In fact when I wear it, people who don't know what I'm trying to do with it, still say to me, 'I never knew you had a motorbike.' It cost around £150. Now that scooter store sells the same jacket for £300.

I've been to the Belstaff shop in London a few times but they've got it all wrong IMO. Hardly a classic waxed jacket in sight. Just loads of aviator jackets and overpriced sweatshirts with horrible silver decals... They've really lost sight of the classic Belstaff style and gone for the Italian fashionista shot.

[indigo_junkie]

I wouldn't say I collect, but I have a lot of books. I also have a Masters in Lit. This is only one of 2 1/2 walls.

And no, I haven't read ALL the books yet...

[Tyler Durden]

i used to collect magic the gathering. my rarest card is probably wrath of god which i still got.

[>++fishb0neR]

i collect soccer/football kits from around the world...AEK athens, Tottenham (YID ARMY!), Panathanaikos, Flamengo....

some were given to me by parents on global business trips (like my '92-'93 Bayern Munchen autographed jersey signed by the whole team:D),

others i've purchased on travel (Shanghai Shenhua, near the HongKou stadium)

and traded with people (classic Scottish National kit)...

and a few from my own career, ha.

i have about 40 or so..
