I picked it up at the Universal News on 23rd st btwn 6th & 5th. I'm sure it's at all Universal News shops. Barnes & Noble will probably get it too. I saw the last issue there

Self Edge also carries it (if you want to support a local shop) as well although it is not on their website yet with the first two issues.

"Local shop"? Isn't that a chain with its corporate headquarters in San Francisco? Just kidding. Kiya, I'll stop by SENY to pick up all three issues next week. Thanks for the info.

just checked imogene+willies homepage,really cool done:

http://imogeneandwillie.com/index.html

anybody here who knows more about them?

I live about a block away. I strolled in there about a year ago and was amazed to see someone else in Nashville who knew what selvage denim was. :-) They're great people, and it's a great shop. They carry LVC, APC, Rogan, RRL, handpicked vintage pieces, and White's Boots. Of course, what's really been their main success are their jeans. They make a men's Willie and two women's cuts, the Imogene, and a stretch model (can't remember the name).

The Willie is a pretty damned cool pair of jeans. It's basically a '47 501. From this cut, you can size down for a slim cut, size up for relaxed, and they also have builders/tailors on site that will contour the jeans however you'd like. Basically, they'll make whatever you want out of a basic 501 cut. As is, they fit great. The original version that was available to consumers was made out of a 318 selvage fabric (I think similiar to the LVC '37s), 12 oz I believe. The new version is a Matsui 14 oz Japanese fabric. Pretty much everyone I know and work with has a pair, they're incredibly popular in Nashville, a town that has been a denim deadzone for quite some time. I couldn't say enough good things about them.

[rnrswitch]

Any translators in the house. I would love to know what they are saying. When I talked to them, they just smiled and nodded.

[almostnice]

sure i can:"Rising Sun spared no toil and hired a professionell clown,entertaining the crowd not only with his artistic juggling skills but also dressed like one from 150 years ago(red rubber nose not visible)"

That explains a lot. Well at least Rising Sun pays their clowns in denim.

As I predicted, the large text reads "Mr. Miner Trad" and the small text seems to be an explanation of what rnr's flagging an orange bandana on the left side means.

Dirty.

[riff]

Ahahahahaha!!! Roy - would rep if I could!

All you bandana wearers should read this.....

[almostnice]

followed your link,riff:

"When worn on the left, orange indicates that the wearer will top in relatively any fetish, anytime, anywhere. Conversely, when orange is worn on the right, it can indicate either the wearer will bottom in relatively any fetish, anytime, anywhere or can indicate "just looking, no play"

now thats interesting,Chris...

[sixsixtie]

I had no idea about the bandana thing.

At least it was switched from keys on the left and right. Since I wear my keys on the right.

Yeah, but unfortunately it's a plum colored bandana. What does wiki say about an overpriced hillside plum colored bandeezies?

[roy6]

Overpriced Hillside plum colored bandana worn on left side= you like to lick the armpits of Japanese cowboys from Okayama Prefecture. Jesus, rnr, how specialized is it necessary to be?

Anyway, congratulations. What are those pants, again?

[fardin]

[coleslawyum]

Uh–oh, all the denim nerds are lining up for this one…

… But the commets on Amazon are complaining about the construction quality and lack of new material from the Free & Easy mags.

[fardin]

i wish one could see more pics outof it. but it still seems worth it. one can at least read some of the stuff no matter how new or old. haha

Just picked this up at Kinokuniya on 6th Ave. Tons of great photos of original denim from the 1870's on. They have five copies left and also just got in the new free n easy.
