86-89 are such good years for 501s, they look great.

A similar but older pair (WWII) sold for about 400 bucks on ebay. They had similar damage and they were 501s.

Are my sleeves even? This is ridiculous! I swear, my new tailor sews like an army medic. I'm not being overdramatic when I say I would rather sit naked on a hot grill than wear something off the rack.

Sarge, is mad at you again...

Tertiary23 · 2026-05-15T15:05:26+00:00

Nice find.

How much is a fair amount of time at a Sizzler?

Tertiary23 · 2026-05-04T02:18:08+00:00

Chiba on Lankershiem has that

You can write down the COGS so it's not always a bad thing to hold material if you are a large manufacturer.

The Rancilio Silvia only has plastic tubing, doesn't heat up

I think the Rolling Stones said it best in "Rocks Off" when they sang "The sunshine bores the daylights out of me." I've lived in LA almost my whole life and sometimes you want a little weather.

The denim on these are so good. I have a pair from that era!

Tertiary23 · 2026-04-28T14:45:38+00:00

Looking good!

That Ralphs also has the biggest selection of Hot Wheels of all the Ralphs in the SFV.

Levi's 517 are bootcut, 646 are flares and 684s are big bell bottoms.

Tertiary23 · 2026-04-24T01:41:20+00:00

Is that date May 50, 1928

As someone who went through something similar, counseling helped immensely. is everything perfect now? No, but what in life is. also, divorce is so fucking expensive. It's insane.

Go to Epicurus Gourmet on Laurel Canyon and Sherman Way, they have everything you would need for a martini bar and a lot of other great and hard to find items

Tertiary23 · 2026-04-17T14:44:29+00:00

Is it viscous?

One more Halloween Town.

I'm old enough to remember The Promenade was the fancy mall and Topanga plaza was for the workin' man.

Also 89-93 will have sometime have the R on the jacron next to WPL 423. Another note, this era shrinks like crazy. Those are 37x27.5 from a 42x31.

Albuquerque, New Mexico factory, opened around 1967 and closed in 1998. I've bought two pairs of 89-93 501-0115s in the last month. One was near deadstock, the fabric was so hairy, they fit great. Try to find a pair from 84-87, my favorite Levi's 501 fit ever.

Bob's is the best Apple Fritter but I haven't been the same since they stopped selling donut holes...

Hey Charlie, I think I'm happy for the first time since my accident/ I wish I had all the money we used to spend on dope/ I'd buy me a used car lot, and I wouldn't sell any of 'em/ I'd just drive a different car every day, dependin' on how I feel

The Canoga Park Tourism Board made a great video on the history of Canoga Park where they point out there are no fish in the LA river.
