    The perfect fit?. The quirky addition of the bow-tie?. Another excellent ensemble. The dead guy from the Rolling Stones with a face like a saggy testicle!!!!! Leave Robert alone. He's a right nice fellow.

    Post pics of your denim - denim fades and evolution

    No, I have a clue, but I also only wear them on the weekends in rotation with my APC NS and SC Okinawas. So, I am oh so sorry I don't meet your high standards of fashion, but I do have to actually wear a suit to work during the week... Tough crowd here, for sure... . Maybe it's that the creases...

    At the moment, I'm doing a vintage cranberry-red RL Polo chino windbreaker over a peach Hanes tee, untucked, and dark 511s with a plain dark leather belt. Blue socks, no shoes.

    Sooo....I just soaked my nudies

    Well I just finished soaking my RRDSs and I thought I should share my experience.....Nasty! I gave em a good hot soak inside-out first. When I picked them up out of the water it was like mud was dripping from them. So gross. Then I turned them right-side-out and soaked them again with the same...

    History question about Levis? When did they start pre-washing, pre-shrinking, sanforizing, etc.? I'm trying to remember if the 501s I bought in college were raw or prewashed. I'd always soak them in cold water and vinegar before wearing, something I think a sales clerk told me to do and it just...

    Clarks Desert Boots

    I dunno. I first ordered my Treks in 11 and they fit--I could get my feet into them--but the tightness across the bridge was painful. I exchanged them and went up 1/2 size and now they feel like mocassins. So nice. On the other hand, my Boots at 11 are almost perfect.

    Yes, I'm an icredibly boring old man. This is about all I ever wear during the work day, a tee and jeans. Here: CK Jeans lt wt tee (a 6 buck pickup on sale) and Levis. Nothing on my feet, head, or other anatomical parts. Later, shoes for a hardware store run. Which would be more appropriate? The...

    So is it really too short? I was kind of digging the exposed heel, too ... Yes, in my opinion, they're fine. I just meant if you felt you still weren't comfortable, that might be an option (admittedly a bit eccentric, but you know...). But I agree, they do look fine as they are.

    Sew on a couple of inches of a contrasting fabric, or paisley. Keith Richcards circa 1971.
