I've spent the last couple of days entertaining two American guests from my companies parent company, based in Los Angeles, who amazingly came over to learn from my vast experience (
). One of the dudes was a senior technical guy who was really interested in my jeans and boots, so over a few beers I told him all about the denim scene and where he could go to look at/ buy this stuff in LA (Self Edge etc…). He spent the following night in his hotel trawling Google and learning about the denim scene, and also worryingly looking into what I do ( :-\ ), net result of which is a free trip to LA for me later in the year under the illusion of "inspecting a production line".....sweet

Yeh I thought so, although the conversation started because he asked me what was wrong with the arcs on my Levis'
(I was wearing Samurai's at the time).When we went out for beers I was wearing my 555's and the IHSH-16 and my Wesco's, all of which super impressed him, his only prior experience of this kind of thing came through GAP and Red Wings.

Great news Mega! Free trip to LA would be awesome.

@Max:
Y'all looking decent! Especially @superfuzz - great jacket, sits you very well.
@JCMx800 : I think those 5 years have already passed in ]Hamburg. I'm no longer suprised when I see someone wearing selvage denim or even IH. And I hope the date won't keep you from joining the party!
1. I think we need a off topic thread.
2. I think they just wear what they can buy in town. "They" would search for brands like Iron Heart. I think it's kinda cool. If only 50% know what they are wearing, that's a huge step for the "scene".
Well selvedge… You can buy selvedge denim jeans at primark, I got fooled more than once haha -

During my teen years growing up in North Carolina, there were two things which I knew with bedrock certainty: 1) college basketball was the most important thing in life, and 2) the University of North Carolina Tarheels were the greatest evil the world has ever known.
Despite the second of those two things, I always respected UNC Coach Dean Smith as a genuinely good and decent man. His death last month at the age of 83 was a sad event, and true to form, he left the world in as classy a manner as he lived.
He will be missed, and the world of college basketball is a lesser place without him.

I have a whole lot of respect for Dean Smith, he was really a great man. Back in his day, despite being a rabid Duke fan, I would pull for the Heels when Duke wasn't in contention. I pretty much always pull for the Heels to lose now, it was largely about Coach Smith.
Interesting that UNC was evil, which was your team, the Pack? Everyone tells me that Duke's for carpetbaggers and that the natives pretty much hate it in the way you described UNC.
