i though it was ok, though I tend to enjoy action movies. what brought it down a few notches to me was how it seemed like a cheap knock off of the book 'the da vinci code' by dan brown. read the book, it's a 1000% more fun then this movie was.

just got some vintage selvege indigo's from comme de garcons. not as nice as 45rpm, but better than most other japanese selvege i've seen around.

Often times, brands license their name to licensees or distributors in foreign territories instead of shipping product. This is because there's usually a big different in style/taste from one place to another, and the assumption is they could more successfully predict and fulfill product in their own areas. Usually the main brand needs to approve the designs, but often times everyone is on such a tight deadline or disorganized that it never happens. Either way, this is why you see different cars, electronics, and clothing that differ from one country to another.

outlet stores are referred to in the industry as strike out. this means anything they carry couldn't be sold by retailers, even after several rounds of sales (the discounts given at department store sales are generally absorbed by the brand) and after every regular retailer was given several chances to order the stuff at deep discounts. further, outlet stores are becoming increasingly dominated by margin builders that are predestined for strike out. these garments are generally designs and styles from older seasons or designs that didn't make the cut from a recent season, re-manufcatured using cheaper materials. for example in the case of denim, it'll usually be a much lighter grade of fabric, and often a much cheaper standard as well. further, often times they'll cut corners on trims, washes and finishing. Most consumers aren't sophisticated enough, experienced enough, or interested enough to realize these differences. Generally, they simply see stuff being sold in department stores for far more, and thus feel like it's a bargain when they see a garment by the same brand, for a bit less at an outlet store, never really catching onto the fact that it's a bait and switch type scenario. I'm sure most of you have that feeling in your gut while at an outlet that something isn't quite right about the clothes there. Irregular items are a very small part of what they stock at outlets since most of this isn't even released from the vendor manufacturing the stuff for the brand. Other strike out retailers include Marshall's TJ Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory, and many others. Your best bet is shopping at sales from regular retailers, but fact is you usually get what you pay for.

contact info for the site.

it amazes me that people wouldnt immediately go check out other sections, despite there being links to them on every page.

links and archive section are places to kill time when the boards are slow.

seriously? you just come straight to the board and don't check out any of the links in the navigation to see other sections? how many others haven't seen the other sections, and why?

I was just wondering how many of you guys have been checking out the Links Directory - http://www.12ozprophet.com/links We tried to stuff it with as much good content as possible, as well as make it easy for you guys to add stuff to it. In case you didn't notice, it also keeps track of how many hits a link gets, as well as let you rate the quality of the link. When a link get enough hits, or ratings, you can then use the 'Popular' and 'Top Rated' functions at the top to resort them based on that criteria. Anyhow, I was just curious what people thought of this section and even some of the other sections. Clearly the Forum is the most popular section, but what's your opinion on some of the other sections? What else would you like to see?

speaking of flyers... best place to get them made is http://www.clubflyers.com. ultra cheap prices and 24 hour turn arounds.

These are exceptional in my opinion. http://www.ambidextre.com http://www.defide-ix.com share your favorites...

There's been several threads discussing this already, but for the record... This is an entirely new site, running on entirely new servers. As expected, there's some kinks in both our code, and in the servers' configuration that need to be worked out. We're doing everythiung we can, and hope to have it worked out soon. Once done, we expect the site/board to run quicker and smoother than ever before, so please be patient until then.

For under $150 I'd probably go for a pair of Paper Denim & Cloth, Levi's Vintage, or Diesel depending on the cut and wash you like. Personally I'm not a fan of Seven jeans for guys, but that's just me. L-R-G isn't even in the same category as what we've been discussing. They might have cool shirts and hoodies, but their denim is some cheap crap straight out of China.

kind of... it describes an old technique for making the denim fabric. back when it was done on shuttle looms, they could only make it so wide. as a result you could actually see the ends of the fabric and how they were finished off. most jeans try and immitate the look by weaving or stitching the end, but selvedge looks different. It's not so much this reason that the fabric is appealing, but rather the distinct twist that selvedge has when constructed into a pant, and more importantly, the unique character the fabric has from being made by such a crude technique. all the imperfections in the denim makes each one a little different, and because it's a relatively slow manufacturing process, you can usually count on the jeans only being made in relatively small batches.

Just below houston on mercer. a door or two up from marc jacobs.

you see the alife x levi's 501's? Not bad, but not sure they were worth and extra $120 just for the extra alife woven label.
