@Seul:

One last try to convince the seller to at least let me bid, and ship to a UK addy. I'll keep ya posted Mega. THANKS!..

Hi Seul! Sounds like your sorted with Mega, but if you need a fall back option I can bid for you - it'd have to be through my snipe account though, as I'm on a train all evening. Just let me know by 6pm UK time.

Thanks a ton, and good to see you here MCJR, but all's taken care off. Cheers mate!.. Hopefully no Under Siege stuff will happen during your trainride. If so: find the cook.

Good to be back, real life has been getting in the way of forum posting, but things are settling down now and work is a blast.
Re: Cooks, I miss thin Segal, the older and rounder version just isn't the same!

Anyone want to do a powerball pool? Have until 945 EST to buy tickets.

Half a billion dollar jackpot. Wow. The winner could buy Greece and half change to spare. I wish.

How much are tickets?

[urbanwoodsman]

$2

After taking the payout and taxes, it would ONLY be $200ish million…

Thats a few pairs of jeans and pitchers of beer. Makes me wish I lived in the US.

Got a crazy cool samurai helmet from Toyota today, not quite sure what its called, or who makes it, but I really dig it. There is no English on the paperwork. Anyone know who makes this? I see a future collection coming on. Here's the brochure pic for my helmet.

*edit the actual box

Someone help me find more of this stuff!!!

My girlfriend is looking for a pair of boots looking like these:

All the local stores pretty much have fake-welted, plastic/bonded leather versions and I just can't stand wathcing her buy a pair of boots that will fall apart within a year. Suggestions to tall engineering boots for women in the 200-300 USD range that will last for a while?

EDIT:

What do you guys think of these? http://www.amazon.com/FRYE-Womens-Engineer-15R-Boot/dp/B000MUUIN2

I was gonna say those look like Frye boots

I like black much much better

I can't decide which cut to wear! I'd rather pick one for this winter and stick with it. Either the 634S-RAW or 666S. I like both and love the denim on both.

The raws are brand spanking new. Did the soak and machine wash according to Haraki-san's instructors for this denim. The 666s have had about 3 weeks of wear back in the summer and haven't really worn them since so they're settled a lot more as you can probably tell. I can't decide which to pick! My wife says "no" to the raws because she probably isn't used to me wearing this type of cut. Plus they are still super stiff so they kind of look "wavy". Once they settle, they should be great looking right? What do you guys think? I can't decide! :-\

Both are sz 29, my tts so I'm a pretty skinny dude.

(raws)

(devils)

Lucifer, get her Chippewas…16 inchers

[elclintor]

bahlfwd,

both fits look on point. I'd say wear the RAW's, only because that's the current pair I'm wearing..

[Guest]

Devils for you much much better

[bagley920]

Skinny dudes should wear skinny cuts

[Snowy]

Devils. The Raws have a lot of 'baggage' left hanging around in your thighs all the way down. They look bulky and over-sized(?) if anything. Devils fit nicely from top to bottom…

[Guest]

Thanks guys. I decided to wear my Devils again! I kind of wish I stuck with them when I first got them! But I'll make up all that lost time…starting now! Even got a new belt and wallet for this occasion

[Guest]

Once the denim starts to settle on the 634s RAW it won't look quite as bunched up and awkward as they currently do. Also, depending on how severe your winter is, you'd likely benefit from the extra material as a means of keeping the cool out.

[Guest]

What's the reason the denim on the raws looks so washed out after a while like in the 90's when you had black Levi's and if you washed them they just looked sloppy and white spots all over them
