Whilst in the attic looking for the Christmas decorations, I found an old suitcase, this was what was in it, a few of my old Levis and a pair of Gap:

shit - middle pair looks super well faded

[Simon]

What age are those Giles, I see at least one pair is selvage? Are they USA made or the later UK (Scottish) made?

[Giles]

Come around and take a look.  The selvedge ones are the Gap ones I bought when I fell out of love with Levi's, the rest are 80's/90's "Small e", they actually ate shite, but to me then, they were 501's, it took me a long time to realise that the Levi's I was wearing were actually crap.  All bought in US, so not sure where they were made…..G

yeah - had mixed experiences with them too . . . which is a shame b'cos they have some nice gear.

to be fair Lewis always tried to help, but when you can get goodies from IH forum (nevermind Giles) quicker something's not quite right!

[Beatle]

totally random - snowed for 24 hours straight - another 12 hours predicted. I might not be able to leave the house without skies…fucking Siberia out there

[Seul]

No snow here - feeling for ya though, Beats… If you need a helpline, I'll come over and bring cheese and jelly + peanutbutter sandwiches and glühwein!..

[Beatle]
