RIDE/icon elsinore boots

It's about that time of the year when I take that last ride before filling the gas tank with Sea Form and placing the battery on a tender only to fill the air with the low hum of electricity and provide the battery with a steady stream of nutrients while awaiting the world around me to unthaw. 

I know...she's old, the bike that is, but she's mine and I can't bring myself to replace her. She even bares the scars of the tough times we've been through. Although temperamental at times, she is still true to me. So I keep her and each time I pull back the choke, turn the ignition key and press the starter and the loud roar of the engine rings in my ears I still smile like it was the first time we met. 

Remember, safety first kids...although, you don't see it in the pics, I do wear a helmet whenever I ride.

STANDARD ISSUE STREET SOLDIER/jordan craig camo cargo pants

"Standard issue street soldier..." If you have ever see The Chase from the 90's then you know what I'm talking about. Henry Rollins was actually pretty funny in a movie that wasn't setting any box office records. But I have to give credit where credit is due, any man that can get it on with Kristy Swanson while leading cops on a high-speed chase towards the Mexican border, definitely has skills...I tip my hat to you Charlie Sheen. 

I've always wanted some camo pants and I must admit that I have been pushing off that purchase until I saw these Jordan Craig cargo pants courtesy of Jack Threads. But if you are looking for something to hide you in the sprawling urban jungle then look elsewhere...I can still see myself in these pics...

BETWEEN THE LINES/replay vintage sunglasses

Lately I've been feeling a bit of 80's nostalgia coming on...I even spent one day this weekend playing old school video games; Pac Man, Tron, Star Wars Arcade. If you are ever in Denver you can find all of these classics at Punch Bowl Social...good food and games...you can't go wrong with that! 

I bought this 'Only in America' tee by Deter a few weeks ago; and I love it! But, I love these sunglasses by Replay Vintage even more! Every time I wear them I'm transported back in time as though I'm cheering on Emilio Estavez trying to reach level 13 in that movie Nightmares...and so what if I've only worn these glasses twice, I still feel like I'm transported back in time when I put 'em on!

FEELING LUCKY?/ deter only in america deter tee

 

I scored this Margiela cuff at H&M for $5...that's right $5! You can't pass up a deal like that, so I purchased a few more pieces between $15 and $20. The Deter tee I'm wearing cost me more, but its super cool...so, no complaints here!

I'm digging the retro look of these Replay Vintage sunglasses. For some reason I have really started to find inspiration in things from the past. Clothing, music, movies...Now where is my copy of GZA's Liquid Swords?

P.S. if you haven't already done so, follow this link to check out my latest set under my AKA Qualifid MTRL  #the dark side of '93 a free download on mixcrate.

EVERYTHING MOSS/diesel houndstooth jacket

These Paper Denim jeans have been through some rough times. I've worn them into the ground as they are one of my favorite pairs. There's just something so comforting about them, plus the fit is great!

This Diesel jacket doesn't see the light of day very much. I'm not sure why, because it's such a great piece! With a little time to kill before a Diana Krall concert, Amanda and I happened to stop by the local Diesel store. To our surprise the store was having a huge sale as they were moving to a new location. Whether or not you can consider moving from one side of the mall to the other a big move is beside the point. The fact remains, we scored a great deal on some Diesel pieces. Sadly, this event has never been recreated...

Will the real Kate Moss please stand up... wait, you are and you're on my shirt. I found this cool tee at Urban Outfitters. Cotton tee, triptych print of Kate Moss topless...SOLD!
