I use glasses 'cos I have to… I don't buy Dita or other high end brands, not just  because they're overpriced imho, but 'cos I haven't seen or tried single one that makes me feel good.

Glasses need to be bought so that you feel good in them, and that they look good on you.

Gazillion factors to be considered when you're buying a pair.  Size/shape of the lens, overall width are usually  first ones to look.

Lesser name brands often offer good value for your money. To me buying glasses may take up to 6 months, or it can happen in a´blink of an eye, 'cos I'm on a hunt for a "perfect" frames for my needs at that moment, and I have usually very strong visual idea what I want.

Don't know if this answered any Q's , maybe just kinda ranting....

So, I kind of need a summer blazer for work (got a few wool/tweed ones for norwegian autumn), looking for a blue/navy linen blazer that is of IH quality. Suggestions?

Which shirts fit most like the 27? My shirts, 41 no, 43 is closer, sbg a bit bigger, but close. I'd like a shirt at least as fitted as the 27.

I wanna get my wife a pair of raw denim, preferably sanforized, what are my options?!

Giles daughter had a pair of 666's that looked pretty good. It's galleried I believe.

Not daughter; son's girlfriend.  Ophelie, I think her name is.

Pure Blue Japan does some women's jeans, as does 3sixteen.  I think Self Edge may have a couple other options as well.  On Superfuture there's a thread called "Raw for women" that could be helpful.

3sixteen+ has a model made from stretch cone denim

Check Sling & Stones on selfedge too.

Whoa, for a moment I though my past was catching up with me…...

Mini wears 666 also, Samurai Geishas are meant to be good too.

Anyone know of any sites or stores that carry jean hooks or hangers?  I'm looking for any ideas as well.

[Guest]

I'd say just use a regular hook rack from any store

Yea that's kind of what I thought.  Was thinking I might go to a local hardware store and pick up some hooks and wood and make my own.

[Guest]

I personally hang mine on hangers, the ones that have the slots in them so the jeans don't fall off

Not this kind, but you get the idea, the belt loops stay in the slots

[JCar2666]

Ahh yes good call.  I'm looking to find or make something that looks industrial so I can hang my jeans outside my closet.

[bagley920]

I have a few of these. They are rod iron. Got them from Kiya at SE. Little pricy but great hangers. $25 per hanger I think.

Like that a lot b920.  Just checked their site and no luck.  Don't live close enough to drop by 1 of their locations.  How did you get a hold of yours?

[Chris]

I think Kiya has said before that they'll ship them to you if you call the San Francisco store and order over the phone.  Not positive about that, though.
