      Thanks Chris! It is on the front, and right where my buckle sits. I've only worn the shirt once though.. Oh well.

        el, what are your thoughts on the Strike Gold tee (beside the hole of course)?

        weight, construction & fit are my main concerns.  thanks

          Yeah, that's a real kick in the nuts.

          Found that tee shirt repair post by Jimmy I was remembering.  Unfortunately, the pics are gone now.  May still be helpful, though.

            Its about the same weight as IH Loopwheeled tees. Construction is flawless. And the fit would be impossible for you.

            I wear an XL in the strike gold tees, and a Medium in the IH tees.

              I'm not brave enough to try this without photos showing me what to do, so I'm just gonna live with it.

                      El, that shits ridiculous. I love nice (and stupidly expensive) stuff as much as all you guys on the forum, but sometimes I shake my head at how delicate this stuff is compared to my many 3 dollar t shirts. Anyway, hope you get it fixed up.

                        Supreme used to make bulletproof tees, I have a couple that are coming up to 6 years old. I haven't owned my IH tees as long, but no faults to report with them either.

                              In general I think the quality from Supreme has gone down the pan in recent years anyway. It's about Uniqlo level quality for 4 x the price.

                                I just watched a documentary about waste management in Italy. All I have to say is that country is fucking up big time. I guess it has to do with La Camorra (organized crime syndicate) running most of the waste management.  The part that is the most fucked up, is that they buried toxic waste in the Acceran Mountains countryside, now people's life expectancy in the area is 50 years old, not to mention that all their food is polluted with toxins.  This is a great example of how being a piece a shit now, could fuck it up badly for YOUR kids (not your kid's kids)….food for thought.

                                  Didn't know where to post this, but it's the patch from TheDenimProject's 1946 repro pair. Notice the straight edge horse and "high" horse, where the smoke makes the S. Taichi-San is the man.  If you like Levis, his pairs clown LVC's best shit.

                                      Probably not, but I'm gonna try to get some '66 from him, this summer.

                                        I'll rant a bit on Mike's post…  I hate Levis ripoffs.  I don't care if you call it a "repro" or a "homage" or "inspired by" or whatever.  Make your own stuff.  Be your own company.  Don't steal (and it is stealing) the features that make Levis distinctive.  The best thing to happen to Japanese denim manufacturing in the last decade or two was the Levis intellectual property lawsuit.  It kicked everyone out of the rut of making the best, most accurate to the last stitch copies of 501s possible and forced them to be original.  Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it's also the laziest.

                                        Patches with two mules, horses, elephants, unicorns, ducks, whatever pulling apart a pair of jeans instantly pisses me off.

                                          what do you think the red W and IH arcs are inspired by?

                                            I personally liked like OG stuff from IH's. Being able to walk around and having people mistaken it for a pair of Levi's at first glance is pretty neat. Only those who have good knowledge (and a good eye) can spot the difference between the two.

                                            I'm as ugly as you
