      I've noticed a couple of IH listings on ebay in recent weeks where the seller removed the arcs with a seam ripper. Seems kinda pointless to buy jeans with arcs only to remove them afterwards and then try to sell them at an even greater loss. amirite?

        I seen that enough before to know «it’s a thing» in some sections of the denim community, but I don’t claim to understand it.  Is it because people don’t like branding?

          Good question. There's a pair of 777-14oz denim on ebay right now and the seller removed the arcs and the patch. The seller clearly doesn't like branding. Still pretty strange though.

            I'm not a big fan of arcs, myself… Not sure I'd bother removing them, though.

              It doesn’t get old. While I love The Sopranos, The Wire is the benchmark for truly excellent television.

              I felt the same, the the Sap's were it…...then came The Wire....Mc Nutty.....

                            Season 2 is amazing. Tbh though everytime I think about this I just end up thinking about what’s great about all the series. Even the somewhat maligned S5 is full of awesomeness.

                                Yep, S5 is good. I really liked Bubbles' arc and conclusion to his story. Bittersweet

                                    Controversial. But I completely understand you rating three and four. In fact the characters introduced in s4 are one of the reasons s5 could be a lot less great than it is and still not fail.

                                      So much goodness. I dug S4 as well. I remember hating Presbylewski's character at first, but after seeing his downfall and subsequent redemption as a teacher it all came together.

                                      Funny seeing Michael B. Jordan in S1 as a young'un. Now he's hit the big time

                                        So many actors went on to do other stuff.  My wife is constantly annoyed when we're watching some show and I yell, "Hey!  He was on The Wire!"
