Have you ever seen Snow on the Bluff? If not, you should, it's on netflix and really fucked up.
It is not just a movie; it is a real place. If you're in ATL and you are into opiates, crack, getting arrested, and/or getting robbed or worse, you should go there.

A proper tux has no vents. If you're going to wear a vented tux, might as well cap it off with notch lapels, a pre-tied bow tie, black sneakers, OCBD, and one of those business cards with a pre-folded piece of satinique stapled on the top to look like a pocket square.


A side vented tux is a perfectly acceptable alternative to a ventless one. I don't like ventless jackets. Period.

Lol ATLnoob, that actually looks like smack to me... based on pic probably worth quite a bit over 100. Could've been a good hit if you were willing to move it hahahaha.

You can buy a condo for a dollar there. Of course, the thrifting equivalent of this would be buying a pair of piss stained 1988 Duck Head pants with a crab infestation for $1.

What a deal!

yes that was the brown variety of narcotics rather than the white, even the picture brings up painful memories for me

Eazy - nice score on the Peal & Co leather folio! Wow!

Mainy Incredible haul! And that was just sitting in your back seat?! :wow:



Not much today. Picked up a cast iron skillet at the request of my wife, a set of shoe trees (always in need of more).

Then I saw these:

Levi's 501 redline selvedge, ca. 1969. The real deal.






I'm gonna try and eBay or Etsy these puppies. I wish they fit but that 30x29 tag isn't even close to accurate.


:wow: :slayer:

+1 on allowing shipping to Asia. Someone in Japan will pay big bucks for those!

No! Don't wash them! 

Well, at least not until they smell, which takes a long while. 

Keep telling yourself that. :uhoh:

I find them with such alarming frequency that I no longer worry about them fading. If they get too light, off they'll go and a new pair will replace them. Meanwhile, the dogs are less inclined to sniff my a$$ if I toss the Levis in the washer after a few wearings.
