@TrickHell Are going to a Bruce Springsteen concert?
-
Dude, I'm fucking English and I "get" Springsteen, he's awesome. I still struggle with some of the stuff you Americans obsess over though…..(Baseball, NFL, flags, world domination etc....)
-
Lol at an Englishman not getting world domination. I guess the sun truly has set on the British "Empire".
-
@TrickHell:
No, but I bought a shitload of Springsteen records on a whim and I'm loving it. I've always been kind of "meh" on him, but I'm understanding the obsession some people have with him.
I like his work starting with the Darkness album. Hit it out of the park with"The Ghost of Tom Joad." I have one of the 17 copies it sold.

I get, and I'm well versed with our imperial past (saying hello to you colonials), we just don't/ can't partake any more.
-
This list is totally out of date (no Iron Heart for one), but it was a great rip down memory lane for a dude like me who began in this game with Harajuku street wear.

^ Top 3 were predictable

Yeh, I expected Visvim and Head Porter to be a little higher though, especially Porter. All opinions I guess though.

And people can hate on Bape all they like, but I remember when it was totally underground and almost impossible to get, back in the days when Ian Brown from the Stone Roses used to be about the only person outside of Japan you ever saw wearing it.
It was a great concept for the time, the Shark Hoodie is arguably THE classic piece of Japanese designed street wear and they certainly gave a rise to brands like WTaps amongst others. In the early days Nigo was just this geeky dude obsessed with sci fi and super heroes, I could relate to that.

I don't care for what Bape has become but going to the Archive Exhibition in 2013 was still pretty great…
Bape x Krispy Kreme collab was delicious!
-
No one should care for what Bape has become, but by equal token nobody should forget what it once was.
-
Same could be said about Evisu (Evis).
-
Very true, although they still put out some nice jeans ….I just can't dig the gulls.
-
I like the arcs, dislike the patches… HATE the golf attire!

Bore off to the beer thread
4pm - Seuls latest delivery to Gav's house mysteriously catches fire in the wood burner, the Joker is suspected.
