Happy Thanksgiving | Convenience is the Enemy
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving. I am especially thankful this chilly November day (in Ohio) for everyone that reads and supports ACL. The site has become quite a little community, something that is really amazing to me. So, my thanks to you all.
Posting this video has become a bit of a tradition and I love to keep traditions alive, so here you go. I hope you and your family have a happy, healthly and well fed day.
P.S. If you are planning on getting up at 4am tomorrow to buy a $3 television-set you should be ashamed of yourself.
ACL x Tokyo
A note of housekeeping, ACL will be in Tokyo all week for a little work and a little fun (and for sushi shaped donuts, naturally). Accordingly, the site will be on light duty and posting may be sporadic. Your patience is appreciated. Keep an eye on the ACL Twitter feed if you want to follow the action live.
ACL & Co. Canvas Bags at SHIPS Tokyo
Our very own ACL & Co. canvas bags have landed in Tokyo at SHIPS, one of our all time favorite stores. The bags are for sale now (and in the window) at the Ginza outpost in you are in the area, check them out. [SHIPS 3-4-15, Ginza Chuo-ku Tokyo 104-0061 JAPAN]
Top 5 ACL Comment Clusterfucks
Pretty self explanatory. With a spirit of amusement and lightheartedness I present to you the all time top five ACL comment clusterfucks. These are the super special threads when ACL commenters have distinguished themselves with their vigor and ruthlessness. Not specifically represented in the top five are any/all of the posts concerning anything I have made, written, sold or championed over the nearly three years of doing this site. I can’t think of a post where anyone has let me get away with liking anything. Thanks for keeping me humble! Enjoy!
#1 — Aaron Levine Street Style
#2 — $109 Notebook
#3 — ACL Redesign
#4 — Rogues Gallery SS09
#5 — Raleigh Denim
A note about comments. I close the comment threads for posts older than sixty days, so you will notice most of these are closed. I do this because people love to come back to and old post and act crazy. It took me about two years to figure out that the comments in old posts need to close after a while.
Men’s Journal Guide to Jeans
The gents at Men’s Journal tapped me to write a nice, big, front-of-book denim package for their September issue. If there is anything I love to write about it is denim, and this story was a lot of fun. May I suggest you go analog and pick up a copy, it’s on newsstands now.
The Left Coast Swing
A programming note: ACL will be broadcasting from the West Coast until next Friday. Posting may be sporadic, so please bear with us. As always, you can follow the oft-intoxicated live action via Twitter. See you on the other side.
