Re: Throughly Modern

Boptop, just been through N!ke and Incontinence pants sites, Vans too, few of my preferred surf/skate shops too, and saw a decent number of things I like and would wear and could incorporate into my daily beach bum/hip-hop/Casual/rave/jock casual look which I favor in the late afternoon ....

But the prices and the materials often knock a modern item out of contention for me, why pay the same price for polyester and nylon as cotton, wool, and leather?

(unless you're a strict vegan/animal rights activist/environmentalist who doesn't wear leather or wool or cotton on principle ....) (I'd rather exercise in cotton too, even if it lacks sweat-wicking properties etc.)

There was a shop on Lafayette Street in NYC in the '90s and early '00s that used to carry these beautiful futuristic Japanese designs, part industrial, part survivalist, part Ecstasy-gobbler, I used to chat up a girl who worked there, I'm fairly sure everybody in that shop was out clubbing every night
