That is true. I think the SF fit will hold up long too, most of it is based off older fits.

certain trends will come and go but i can't see the emphasis on classic styles and well-fitting clothes ever becoming silly.

At least you were allowed to wear your tshirts in family photos. I'll see if I can dig up my xmas family photo on the beach from 1993 or so--sideswipe of sorts, docs... and a fisherman's sweater. My ma didn't approve of the dead milkmen or dead kennedys tshirts.

Two quick band-shirt stories:

1. In high school I wore a Circle Jerks tee to school and nearly gave my French teacher a heart attack.

2. My brother wore a Sex Pistols tee to school one day, and the principal objected. My brother fixed the problem by cutting out a small scrap of paper, drawing an "E" on it, and taping it over the "X" on the shirt, so that it read, "SEE PISTOLS."

Hahaha, I wonder how I got away with some of the shirts I wore on a weekly basis in high school:

Circle Jerks concert T
Dead Kennedys "Nazi Punks **** Off" shirt
Dead Kennedys "Holiday Inn Cambodia" shirt with photo of a guy getting hanged from a tree and beaten with a folding chair
Misfits T with a rotting skeleton pulling out its eye
etc.

This was the late 80s- early 90s and nobody ever said a word to me about it.

Yeah but who's really going to object to a "Nazi Punks **** Off" shirt without looking like an asshole? I had that same Misfits Tshirt, the drawing was by Pushead, an amazing horror artist.

My worst shirts were the Black Flag shirt that had a gun in a cop's mouth with the caption "Make Me *** ******" and a Gwar shirt that had too many gross and offensive things on it to list here.

The Valvetronix was cool, probably the best s/s amp I've heard (other than Ampeg)....almost has TOO many options , esp in my case playing with just a couple tones. But if you were in a cover band that covered the gamut from Beatles to Metallica, it'd be the perfect thing (esp if you have the full function floor pedal to control every amp dial via foot)


Sounds just like a Blues Jr. (class A, EL84) How does it compare?
