My final pre-pandemic interaction was at Smith Street tattoo, where Gilbert clocked my Roy’s while I was sweating through the table. Great guy, great fits, and confirmed ENORMOUS pants still.

Finally, some recognition for someone who is not just peak skate style but easily one of the best-dressed globally: the king BOB. This wasn't linked in here but he just dropped a new part - it's interesting to me how his style, fashion and skating-wise, with each part becomes more muted without failing to make a consistent, progressive statement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7QMptmdPsU
This rocks so hard. Love the Greco shout out. Seeing him in skate mags in the early 2000s, during his Johnny Thunders era, was the first time I remembered seeing a dude and being like "yea I wanna dress like that"
The acceptable size of pants has always been dictated by skaters
If you're looking for Evan Kinori pants to fall in... the Bedford Cords he had a while back have stood the test of time for me 🙏
I really like the style of one of the newer guys on the scene, Nico Hiraga. I love his flowy and colorful style.
Keeping a tube TV for skate videos. This is an aesthetic commitment that demonstrates high character.

This is a good excuse to post the kings, both on board and with some fire fits
