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 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.

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

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

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.

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

[natehate]

the fit on the 666's is what most of us chase after night and day, if you don't wear them it's almost like you're slapping us in the face

@nerkg:

That'll happen with with stiff denim if you don't wash inside out or was in too violent a wash cycle

Why is bahlfwd a "guest"?..

[Giles]

Without trawling through the Logs, I guess he must have unregistered himself…

[Seul]

Well, if you're out there lurking: the fit of those Devils is a stellar one.

Can someone explain to me what "beard oil" is actually for? Jeff(d666) maybe?
