SXSWXDAVE

Pal of Hub and radio legend Dead Air Dave is on site in Austin. Reports are plaid is covering more space than plush lined guitar cases. Selveldge denim and workboots are the other required components. All I can say is I'm happy to know there are several thousand people out there not wearing Trues. Vintage American influence for music and fashion. Enjoy Dave!

Looking back

There is a lot of talk about the return of the road trip. I have great memories of my big brother and me in the back of our Chevy wagon with my mom at the wheel 15 feet in front of us. The old wagons had those back facing seats. These were specially designed to create awkward staring contest with the motorist behind you. I miss the days when seat belts were an option. Imagine what would have happened while riding ass backwards at 65 mph and you were to slam into another car. I see it as sort of a slow motion Crouching Tiger scene. I am launched upside down with my feet aimed at the face of the driver of the other car. He is initially pelted with magnetic chess pieces just before my Keds whiz past his ears. His face is burned by the friction of my corduroy play pants.
Dressing for trips was simple then, a stripe tee, elastic waist pants and pre-velcro running shoes of some kind. It was a time of simplicity. No video games, only an abundance of time, white bread and bologna. I miss those trips.
Now it's all about gadgets and shutting the kids up. God forbid you have car troubles. Pop the hood now and just try to recognize any part of the engine. Mine looks like a cross between the Predator and a vegetable steamer.
This summer hop in the car fasten your seat belts check all your safety features and have a safe trip you cowards.

All's Farah

The best thing to hit the men's market this season is the relaunch of the 70's iconic brand Farah. Let's face it, the shapes of the 70's lend themselves pretty well to current trends especially when reinterpreted by the British. The great change are the fabrics, no more poly now it's cottons and cool twill. The direction takes the clean cut out of the preppy and introduces the unshaven angry American into the mix. I love the idea of a 1960's Telecaster hanging off a guy with a wrinkled pastel plaid shirt on. Throw on some dirty slip on white Keds and pop open a Pliney.

All remaining women's leather jackets are less than $100! holy sh...eep skin! Stop in ASAP to claim yours!

Final Final crazy markdowns for all you who wait.
