Sam,
Why do you have the best jackets?

Jace · « **Reply #1651 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 06:42 »

You need to kill the man wearing that jacket and take it for there can be only one.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #1652 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 06:48 »

Be careful not to splash any blood on the jacket, though. Strangulation would be my suggestion.

Jace · « **Reply #1653 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 08:45 »

Jackets such as that actually have a tiny field of nanites around them that stop any sort of stain or blood from getting on them.

ampersandwitch · « **Reply #1654 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 13:39 »

It's really not that great

Social Bacon · « **Reply #1655 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 13:53 »

Blasphemy. It's an amazing jacket.

Alex C · « **Reply #1656 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 13:53 »

No, actually, it's pretty underwhelming.

michaelicious · « **Reply #1657 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 14:01 »

Are you shittin' me? It's got secret buttons!

Buttons that are a secret.

Liz · « **Reply #1658 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 14:07 »

Yayyy you are using the good picture. Well done laddie, well done.

jhocking · « **Reply #1659 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 14:13 »

I haven't looked in this thread for quite some time. I nearly responded to a post a couple pages ago, until I realized "wait, this is not a kosher thing for me to be doing."

sean · « **Reply #1660 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 15:33 »

I was gonna say hey that jacket is really not that great in fact it kinds of looks like a jacket that dick from My Chemical Romance would wear but then this happened.

fucking sold

Alex C · « **Reply #1661 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 15:36 »

You know what else is apparently a secret? Their fucking purpose. You can already zip it up! Then again, maybe it's like a Magritte painting. Is it the zipper or the buttons that are superfluous? Fascinating.

jodizzle · « **Reply #1662 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 16:40 »

I really like that jacket Sam.

Elizzybeth · « **Reply #1663 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 18:27 »

Man, speaking of hidden buttons, does anyone know the reason why so much women's clothing has extra hidden buttons like this? All I can think of is that perhaps having fabric over the button in the center keeps tummies looking flatter--but at the same time, then you've got more material in that area than necessary, which you'd think would make people look fatter.

Liz · « **Reply #1664 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 19:30 »

Generally I think it is to make the pants look neater because the buttons don't show that way. Also it holds the fabric in a bit so that it doesn't bulge.

Or something.

sean · « **Reply #1665 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 19:31 »

Also those pants are pretty horrible, they should not be worn in the first place.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1666 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 19:32 »

Jacket,

OK so I am probably going to start riding my bike to work if all goes to plan but that means I will require a backpack. Any suggestions for backpacks that will not make me look like a tremendous geek are entirely welcome.

I prefer messenger bags but they are hard to wear when you are on a bike. Although I believe I may have seen a fellow who was riding a bike and had some swank kind of messenger bag with extra straps so it sat high on the back, like a back pack. Am I making this up?

sandysmilinstrange · « **Reply #1667 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 19:34 »

I guess I don't get that jacket. It isn't that it's a bad jacket. It seems pretty okay, I just don't quite understand why so much love.

est · « **Reply #1668 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 19:37 »

I guess it is an alright jacket, people just really like Sam. This is ok though because Sam is pretty rad and wears cool things.

I want a larger version of a jacket I already have and love. It has shrunk or something since I bought it, because now the sleeves are too short

sean · « **Reply #1669 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 19:39 »

The jacket has buttons that are secret. That makes it cool.

Dovey couldn't you just pull the strap pretty tight on your messenger bag so it goes higher up and is less prone to moving?

Sam does wear some pretty cool things.

Was it washable or something? I've never had a jacket shrink on me. I just mostly outgrow them.

Social Bacon · « **Reply #1671 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 19:52 »

Find a canvas messenger bag, they last much longer. And I've found that if you tighten the strap it causes no difficulties while biking.

Personally, I love the jacket because it has a simplistic design but with a unique oddity. Just my style.

sean · « **Reply #1672 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 20:18 »

Oh and on messenger bags - want

and shoes - awesome

also blackspot shoes are the best chuck taylor knockoffs ever

sean · « **Reply #1673 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 20:27 »

Man if I decided kidneys weren't cool anymore I would totally get that bag.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1674 on:** 17 Nov 2008, 20:40 »

Sean is correct. It is lovely but it is also $148 and the conversion rate is balls at the moment so no go.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #1675 on:** 18 Nov 2008, 09:56 »

Dovey, the huge roving packs of hipster bicycle kids on my campus all use bags by Chrome. They are probably also balls-ass expensive though, ebay might be good. http://www.chromebags.com/

Yeah, I've had my simple-ass Dickies bag for a little over two years. Cheap, and the only problem I've had was having to patch it up where it's wearing through a little bit (I use it to lug around my textbooks and laptop).

Verergoca · « **Reply #1677 on:** 18 Nov 2008, 13:18 »

Uhm, cant you just let the strap go to its longest, so the bag rests on your bagage carrier thingsy? I mean, as long as you arent transporting cases of beer onthere, it works like a charm

Liz · « **Reply #1678 on:** 19 Nov 2008, 12:25 »

I looked cute today! And trendy, perhaps, though I am probably quite behind on the trends because I don't really care.

Some people have real bikes.

Slick · « **Reply #1680 on:** 19 Nov 2008, 14:39 »

My bike has a carrier and I call it real. When I biked to Guelph for hillside I wore a backpack and had a packed milkcrate attached to my carrier rack, which allowed me to camp and bike all weekend. I did maybe 150km that weekend. Amazing weekend.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #1681 on:** 19 Nov 2008, 21:36 »

See Liz, that's cute but it would be way cuter with a black pencil skirt and your hair in a chignon or something. I hate denim skirts passionately.

Liz · « **Reply #1682 on:** 19 Nov 2008, 21:44 »

Well I cannot find a flattering black pencil skirt. Otherwise I would totally do that.

I've been seriously thinking about doing some bike camping... do you have panniers as well?

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1684 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 03:35 »

This week in "Dovey Has No Fucking Willpower Whatseover"

I bought these shoes:

Dollface · « **Reply #1685 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 04:05 »

I have been craving this and when i get one i will mod it to work as my headset on my laptop

Nodaisho · « **Reply #1686 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 04:24 »

Dovey: What the hell? Purple? I am going to have to see pictures of you pulling it off before I am willing to believe for a minute you didn't screw up.

That headset/helmet/hat is pretty damn awesome, though.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #1687 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 04:41 »

Dovey, my first thought was "oh man, purple panne velvet? aie."

The second was "oh HELL yes"

Wear the shit of those shoes, they kick ass.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1688 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 04:44 »

Manda it is quite obviously purple snakeskin. So yes the answer is hell yes.

No dough show: I will probably be too lazy to post pics because I have about a two month backlog of sweet threads that I still haven't snapped yet but try to imagine dark indigo jeans and a black shirt and that is probably what I am probably wearing tomorrow night. Also man have you SEEN some of the kicks young people wear these days? These are so tame.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #1689 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 04:49 »

All right, that sounds good, I had horrible images of a matching track suit.

I have only seen the normal kind of bad shoes, pumas with green stripes and shamrocks. What were you thinking of?

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1690 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 05:00 »

Oh see now why didn't I think of matching track suit.

I am talking about the multi-coloured nike type high-tops and the like. The fluorescent things. About 50% of the sneakers on this blog. Etc.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #1691 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 05:07 »

Oh jesus christ. Get the goddamn flamethrower!

I haven't seen those around here. Thankfully.

I tend to dress pretty drably, I might be biased. But those Denver Nugget ones? Kill it with fire.

I am not a bike person, so I don't actually know what those are, but I can guess. Still, the first thing I thought of was this.

pwhodges · « **Reply #1694 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 12:15 »

That's roughly it, but for bikes.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #1695 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 13:05 »

How badass would it be if that lady could carry her camping equipment around in those?

calenlass · « **Reply #1696 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 13:24 »

Also how badass would it be if Marie Antoinette ever went camping? I personally think this is a great thing to see if I can build a time machine for. I bet she cries if she gets dirt under her fingernails.
