      Simon - just give it a try..i generally don´t soak sanforized denim - shrinkage is so minimal - but if you feel like doing it - just do it !

        Yes, creases will most likely vanish - but should settle back once u wear them. It´s not a science - just wear them

          Exactly. C'mon simon, go skate and climb mountains and shit. If you love your jeans, you will abuse them.

            Whilst we're on the subject of cars…

            I am sensible car owner (modern Seat diesel), I have to commute 25 miles each way.

            However, my colleague's father has a Merc for sale, like this: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C138452/ - but a petrol model.

            Since my dad died I have been hankering after a Merc (he used to run a late seventies 350 SEL), so for the sake of large chunk of sentimentality (and some retro charm) I am seriously considering getting this Mercedes.

            Does the collective think that it will be a time/money sink and a dreadful daily driver?

              You not?.. Don't.

              I wouldn't wanna drive that thing 50 miles a day. Unless it's highway (and traffic free) only…

                Yeah, you're probably right, I'm trying not to be sensible…

                      Looks FABULOUS. Heart over mind, hands down. Looks like it's been preserved very well. What are the engine specs?..

                        Its not the car in the link that was just to show the shape, the car in question has a v6 2.5 petrol. It is black though which is cool.

                            Yes it was informative, thanks Simon. Two cars is viable but I'm sure I would then start to get some vague enviroguilt.

                            Its def a heart/head thing.

                            I'm going to take a look at the Merc next week so I will take some poics and share here.

                              that's actually a cool idea.

                              Check this site out: http://www.eaglegb.com/ - they will sell you a modernised version of a classic, epic money but it would be the perfect combo of old and new.

                                That Merc, all be it in coupe form is my absolute dream car.
                                Uber cool as they say.
                                If it works for you, buy it, your dad would be proud.
                                I lost my mum 8 years ago and it's nice to have something that brings back good memories.

                                just wear - don´t compare - what matters is that one loves what one is wearing…

                                  Thank The Lord Krishna (Jesus, Mohammed, Allah, whatever…) that I'm not into cars. I have a Honda Insight (hybrid) -- year 2000 when it was first made, 90K miles -- and that's all I need ! I bought the car used 3 years ago, but I drive very little in The Bay Area. I live < 5 miles away from work, and I take BART to SF/Berkeley.

                                    I like those Insights Shubz, Honda were really ahead of the curve, cool shape too.

                                      @ Triple - OMG, the coupe is beautiful - I expect they command somewhat of a premium over the saloon..?

                                        A bit impractical – only a 2-seater. But it's just me and Mom (or my dog) most of the time -- so I don't need more than that. Plus, when we have group outings (with my sister's family or with colleagues for a lunch-out), nobody ever expects me to drive -- which is a BONUS !

                                          LandoCal, wondering why you never post pics of yourself wearing your SuperBlack Straight cuts – the IH 9634 ? I'm certain you'd rock them well. Do you not wear those anymore ? Just wondering. I know that like me, you're on "Team SuperBlack". So why not ?

                                            It's LHD so a RHD in the UK is going to cost more I would have thought.
