Re: Can some one tell me about Patagonia?

I see racks full of those funny bright fleece pullovers and jackets at flea markets. I think they are not as popular anymore with the Japanese buyers. Like most everything the japanese buy: I don't get it, you're TRYING to look like a Fraggle Rock?

Re: My new vintage blog

I've visited Phoenix once. It seemed like the most inhospitable environment i've ever seen a city located. I guess I'm spoiled in Hermosa Beach where the average high is around 77 degrees. Blogger sucks! It hasn't been updated since about 2004, Google has abandoned it for new new thing. Thanks for t...

My new vintage blog

All self promotion is shameless, so here goes. After being asked by more than a couple people "you still got that blog?" I'm decided on restarting the vintage blog thing, but this time on Wordpress (huge improvement over blogger). Hey! I even got my own domain name mapped, so this time it'...

Re: Honeymoon in Las Vegas

Well, I'm partial to a spot called Treasures, but not quite sure thats honeymoon material...cough. Anyway, if you want to get away from all the flashing lights and ding ding ding of casinos and shows, and connect with nature, you should check out Red Rock. It's about 20 or 30 minutes drive from the ...

Re: 1966 Beatles Butcher Cover Tee

"Also, I can tell you that the guy I got this shirt from played in the band Elephant's Memory and got the shirt himself from Lennon during the early 70s." Well at least he's got a story to go with it. The pakistan tag is certainly questionable. I'd guess that the shirt is some 70s DIY effo...

Re: Vintage Sources

How are you going to sell 1000's of t-shirts a day? Especially in wintertime? Most t-shirts I sell i make maybe $6-12 on. Those margins would be sweet at that volume.

I'm down for an NYC picking party. Whats the buy-in? Can it be in the springtime ? :D
