      homesick, huh?

      awesome gesture.  told y'all, tell lando when you are coming in to town & 99.99% off the time he will make the time to be there.

      I certainly try my best. Nothing like hanging out with IH folks. Some of the best times I have had in my life!

      @Megatron1505:

      Looks like we're going to go SOCAL and NOCAL, so I'll let you know man, won't be until 2013. We're going to do a week of theme parks, then head up to SF for tourism, denim tourism, and good times  😉

      Ah, well then time to plan for it. Just keep me in the loop and we will figure out how to get down NorCal style!

          Just found a massive box full of vinyl that an old mate gave me to look after when he went to university. Loads of old punk, hardcore, metal and indie stuff, going to have a look through it this week….the shit you find when clearing out eh?

          Being as that was 18 years ago, and I haven't seen him for 15 years, does that make them mine by proxy?

                      If you do decide to sell, I can get you into contact with some very legit big time ballers/ bonzer collectors… Cause you probs will have no idea what you have in hand... Those nerds will... Of course, I am sure you will try and get into contact with your mate to return them...

                        But, of course if that fails I will sell them before Mini throws them in the bin. I have no idea if they're worth a fortune or 10p to be honest. Guys like you and Rocket are the experts, so I'll call on you guys for help.

                                  Actually found some good stuff, just doing my own little research. Some of the Faith No More stuff is quite pricey, really old stuff, picture discs, first pressings, promo 12" singles etc… Plus an Ella Fitzgerald sings Cole Porter album, and a Stan Tracey Quartet album, and a rare complete misprinted sleeve version on "Band On The Run" complete with posters etc..

                                  According to ebay, there could be a new pair of Whites in this for me  😉

                                      What's up with the disparity between Self Edge  measurements, and the measurements on this site? I wanted to order a pair of jeans and I asked them to measure, and they obliged… but the measurements on both sites still don't match up...

                                        i think there are a few reasons why the measurements won't match up perfectly:

                                        1. small label with handcrafted goods tend to have small differences in sizes in the same batch of an item.
                                        2. they use different measuring techniques, check the way the vendor measures items with the way IHUK measures
                                        3. the measurements published are a average & so no pair is really going to match up to it.

                                        i would go to the respective website, & see how the item in question is measured.  i would then use the same method to measure my best fitting garment & compare to decide what i can/can not fit into.

                                        hope this information is helpful & hasn't thrown you off the path

                                        all the best,

                                          I checked the measurement techniques, and I'm aware that no two jeans can be identical.

                                          But look at the sz 36 666od at Self Edge and compare it to the measurements on this site. Tell me if you don't think something's way off, even accounting for all those things you mentioned.

                                            The waist measurements are pretty close

                                            The thigh measurements are different because the two vendors use different angles to measure the thigh

                                            The knee measurements are different because SE measures at 14" from the crotch and IHUK measures 13"

                                            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose
