Zelda Leather Jacket Mafia.


I did use to wear a trench coat at college back in the late 90's, although I stopped as it suddenly became inappropriate for some reason.

It came I'm probably going to wear it for a bit if it gets any warmer although going to take the hood off.

The trend for wearing trench coats seemed to coincide with when The Matrix first came out.

There used to be a whole bunch of people who would wander around Exeter city centre dressed that way (complete with sunglasses even on a dark cloudy winter's day), and considering the location, i suspect Jenuall was amongst them.

I have a beige Japanese trenchoat with brown pinstripes. Kind of dodges the goth look but haven't worn it since university. My brother used to say can't wear the waist strap at the back in a bow because it's gay, but he's probably queer phobic so strawberry float him. That gooseberry fool actually fit me.

I had a quick look through. I've got to say I'm pretty disappointed with the Haruki Murakami designs. I really like his books and some of the designs are really lazy. Like the one for Norwegian Wood is just the book's name on the shirt front!

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

It's meant to mimic the original English release of the book. (The second book, I think...) But yeah, that still doesn't make for a great tee design. It's like they let the work experience kid do that one. (Or whatever the thread's meme for those sorts of designs is.)

Cheers for the tweet. They've got a few of the Peter Saville ones back in

I'd deffo be interested to know if it's any good. This is the $90 jobby right?

Very happy so far, although I've changed their EQ a bit as the default bass is set ridiculously high.

My ears are reasonably large and they only just fit (not as comfy as high end Bose/Sony headphones) so if you've got Dumbo ears I'd definitely swerve.

Great mic and sound though, super clear.

Aye. I was tempted by the Unknown Pleasures / Jocelyn Bell Burnell radio pulsar discovery design. Even though I have two versions of it already :lol: Though they are on the large size even for mere 'L' sized tees...

And now I have 2 more :fp: :lol: Bought two of the 'M's.

Just a heads up re online returns: though on the face of it Uniqlo say returns postage now has to be paid for by the customer (via a deduction from the item value), the first item sent back from an order is still refunded in full.

God strawberry floating help me I'm considering spending 60 quid on keycaps.

Amazingly enough these are comparatively inexpensive. A top of the line GMK set will set you back over a hundred.

EDIT: This has now morphed into 90 quid

Image


EDIT2: Nope, went for this 40 quid set

I hate when you find a really nice graphic T-shirt and it turns out to be printed on the back. I barely ever leave the house without a jacket on!

Bought some custom Nikes to complete my green outfit. Just got them. Returns initiated already.

They're a shade too light and the uppers feel plasticky as hell.
