Love that site! We need another HiH now!

I heard that Borculo is not going to happen again due to the site owners and locals being tired of drunken scooter riding freaks.

Any plans?

My first one was in 2001 I think, a late starter but it was sooooo good I just didn't want to do UK rallies anymore.

LIttle bit off topic, as it doesn't include pint-sized selvage, but was out with the little girl today checkin out the fall colors. She's so tall and skinny it's hard to find jeans that fit, and she grows like a weed, so jeans I buy too big don't fit six months later. In a few more years when she slows down a little, I'll get her a proper pair of selvage denimz...

Got that Graham Marsh book today,highly recommended! What I need to know MR Black,from which book you got your scans from? did a quick research but no avail... Decent kids needs decent books....

Mr Blacks book was either 'Aliens Love Underpants' or 'Dinosaurs Love Underpants' by Claire Freedman can't quite remember exactly which one that image comes from but both feature selvedge AND are a jolly good read.

My daughter is getting the Graham Marsh book for Christmas whether she likes it or not I have a feeling it will be a regular bedtime read.

Lol.. I've been skimming through this thread and wanted to let you guys know- it's awesome. I'll probably even read the whole thing.

Anyhow, I've got a little niece and I'm just watching her grow waiting to indoctrinate a love of denim in her. Maybe I'll be posting here in the future.. oh.. and the discussion on tea (I know it's passed).. don't try and confine it to certain variables.. each tea has it's own peculiarities and have learning curves.. :rolleyes:

It's late.. I'll be quiet now.

I saw these on Sunday. I would have bought them straight out, bar the fact Im completely skint, and they've been tapered. Should have taken a detailed photo, but they've been converted to 80s-style peg leg jeans; wide in the thigh with a tiny hem width, and the selvage cut out at about the bottom seven inches; I'd need to get selvage fabric, wash it to roughly match the colour, then let in a v-shaped section. Is it worth selling the nipper's old Sammies and Belstaff to get these, d'ya reckon??

45 quid is the asking price. Two and a half pairs of H&M jeans...

Dont do it man, I've plenty of experience in wasted purchases such as those. Too much hassle involved.

You're better off with two pairs of H+M's, and you get to watch them fade!

I was foolish enough to buy the denim version of these. Have been doing a few repairs on the nipper's stuff ready for a clear-out, I'll see if I can find them. They are beautifully-detailed, alho they were marketed in so few stores I can't see how LS&Co ever sold a pair.
