Is there anybody in CONUS who is going the the Self Edge 20th anniversary party who would take delivery of a Recapitate hat for me and give it to me over the party week end?

@Giles I am and can

Hello all, I have a random question and I thought this was the place to ask it.

I want to get some high quality and long lasting garments for my fiancé, but she isn’t into Americana/heritage-style clothing. She really likes the 90’s hip-hop style of baggy pants, bright shirts, big hoodies, etc. But I have no idea where to look for this. If anyone has any ideas of where to look I’d appreciate the help.

I like Nike ACG, Aime Leon Dore, Carhartt WIP, The North Face, Patagonia.

Also if you Google best high end sportswear brands you’ll get some good info.

@IWannaIndigoHome Some brands that were all the rage in the nineties—I’d add Karl Kani and Pelle Pelle to the list, too—though I don’t know how many you’d still find around; I think I’ve still got a few suitcases full of them at home somewhere.

The early Girbauds were fantastic. Just a traditional five-pocket jean, big plain rear pockets, leather waistband patch, that little white label across the fly, and the blue loop.

I wore these like crazy from around ’86 to ’90, just before Girbaud started getting into that crazy Z. Cavaricci pleated high waisted Crayola color look of the early ’90s.

@northsouthdenimguy loved my Girbauds in the 80’s. Will try to dig up a pic.

Also, please tell me who did a pinched and rolled cuff…

@SKT of course

I probably shouldn't question it and just buy stuff... But has there been a price drop to a lot of items on the IHUK website today? (at least in GBP)

Probably. we were just sorting out a discrepancy in cur fixed currency conversion rates. We used to have real time conversions, but people got confused/pissed off because all the prices in our non-base currency would change from day to day. So now we fix, and chage when the currency/currencies move significantly.

@northsouthdenimguy Seeing Girbaud, reminds me of my favorite pair of Guess jeans

@SKT Definitely a pinched and rolled cuff guy in the summer months of the late 80’s / early 90’s

Not sure if anybody else was doing this, but some of my buddies were wearing those Guess jeans with the zippers on the sides that were actually women’s jeans at the time.

@SKT Oh, and I definitely pinched and cuffed my jeans
