      Yep.  Guess we should have seen this coming a year ago

      Indeed. Acquired by a private equity firm and will likely have its assets stripped/sold. Scumbags of the highest order. Kinda surprised a company like Levi's doesn't come in and buy the plant. It would give them complete control of the US denim market.

      I wonder what this will mean for US denim companies that rely on Cone?

            Regarding Cone, their denim actually manages to capture the flat and even characteristics of true vintage denim better than most. It's really not my thing, but as a part of history I'm sad to see it go.

                  The Unimog is at least in Europe a Truck and because of that you need a Truck License to drive it. The G-Wagon went the same Route as the American Offroad Cars, from a usuable Workhorse for the Army to a Luxurs City Vehicle, the chepeast Model is Around 80k Euros. The new X-Class Pickup is a Nissan Navara in a different Packeing.

                                when ladies ask for a work shirt at work. and i'm thinking "oh work shirt", before realising their layman meaning of a shirt for work a.k.a button up..

                                          There have been way too many good things dropped in such a short time frame here.  It's quite fucking ridiculous.  I could easily drop $1,000 today if I could afford that.
