I just discovered that the new movie, The Bikeriders, is based on director Jeff Nichols' brother, Ben's, song of the same name, by an old favorite band of mine, Lucero. I now have a major need to see this movie. I wonder if he used the song in there? I believe the song was based on an old picture book of biker culture or something, as seen in the music video.

@WhiskeySandwich yes exactly my friend, the film is based on Danny Lyon '68 photography book on the Outlaws MC... I can't wait to see it

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Luijim78 this is so super cool, i'm nerding out! I remember thinking when the song came out like 20 years ago that it'd make a killer movie. i didn't even realize Ben had a movie-director brother. This blew my mind today. Decent motorcycles movies are extremely few and far between. Very psyched.

@WhiskeySandwich Some amazing shots from the book in @steelworker 's post here:

I went to see the movie last week, loved it! Great soundtrack all the way through!

[Luijim78]

@WhiskeySandwich yes it's very true, I didn't know the song thanks for letting me know it mate. I was already checking which cinemas it's showing in this weekend... p.s. the costume designers used Schott jackets, a line of jackets from the film is in production, I have to take a look at this on the Schott site too

Didn’t want to say it on the product thread, but two of my favorite features of frog skin camo are the herringbone twill and that the reverse of the beach pattern (tan colorway) is the jungle pattern (green colorway). The latter makes them look super cool cuffed where I’m normally an hemmer.

Understanding this would impact the cost, I wish those features made it into the FW24 pants.

You're saying that you would prefer the pattern to be on both sides of the pants, not just printed on the face? If so, I agree, and suggested as such when I first saw them, but Haraki did not agree, for some reason.

[mclaincausey]

@Alex that’s right; with the interior pattern being a green versus a tan colorway, and maybe even a design that’s reversible. Still tempted but this brings the tiger stripe in play.

One interesting thing about a fabric like that is the contrast you can get if you have a design that reverses the fabric. Or a simple cuff.

I visited the doctor today for an annual check-in which includes measuring my weight. We stopped by the scale first before getting to the exam room, but as we got to the exam room and she was entering the weight, she realized we forgot to get my height. She then noted I needed to take off my shoes before doing that. Since I was already going have my shoes off, I asked if I could step on the scale again without my button-up shirt. For anyone keeping track, a pair of wescos and a IHSH-293 is about 9lbs.

[Oaktavia]

@pechelman 9lbs?! Holy shit!

[pechelman]

@Oaktavia it completely surprised me too. I was thinking it would be more like 5-6lbs. If I had on anything heavier than 634-18s I might have asked if I could weigh in without pants too.

Was doing PT this morning and spotted Atlas on my ceiling

[Oaktavia]

Just saw these pop up on Instagram. Are these Japan only? Looks pretty sick I love the purple.

[Mizmazzle]

Yeah that purple is rad!

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia I love the purple too! I think these two shirts are from a past season and have been given the OD treatment.. they must have had a load of unsold stock in Japan? I’d have loved a chance to buy the purple without the OD treatment though

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 I love the OD UHFs. I have a couple of my own already. I was just curious of the purp might head our way...
