You gotta wonder sometimes. How does a fine article of clothing like this Lee Storm Rider jacket survive 50 years and end up on a $6 jacket rack at a thrift store, unmolested and in mint condition, for me to buy? Like the dumb fat guy on the show Storage Wars says “Wow Factor”

This specimen sold and paid for within 2 days for $595.00. Going to a loving new home in Finland.

CRISP Union label on the inside front pocket!

January’s holiday hangover is always bad for business, but sales start to pick up as February rolls in. It starts as a trickle:

Just three big shopping bags bursting at the seams filled with vintage treasures from all corners of gorgeous Los Angeles. Rose Bowl tomorrow…

They mighty ducks

I was cleaning out the storage this weekend and about to chuck this old Mighty Ducks Starter pullover in my bag of clothes to donate (back) to the thrift store, but I had second thoughts. Good thing too!

$53 with 32 bids? I thought I’d be lucky to get $8 for this old thing. I even misspelled the listing title. Maybe fans are not enamored with the new Ducks logo and colors (the “D” is supposed to be, like, a webbed foot):

To quothe the internet:

The team name is the Ducks. Unless they completely ignore that fact, their logo is going to look stupid. The best jersey they ever had was the one that just said Anaheim.

and

If the bird is antarctic instead of temperate migratory, would that mean it doesnt look stupid?

Just bring back Wild Wing already (Sold for $172 August 8th):

40 Acres and a letterman jacket

40 Acre’s and a Mule clothes comes up every so often on ebay, but a Spike’s Joint Los Angeles Cross Colours looking letterman jacket? Never seen it!

Spike Lee made so much money selling Malcolm X caps back in 1992 that he opened up a store on Melrose. Quoted from Entertainment Weekly:

Why open a Spike’s Joint on lily-white Melrose instead of in a black neighborhood?

”I don’t have to defend myself,” Lee says. ”From day one everything I’ve done has been for black people. It seems unfair that any time a black American makes money there’s a problem.”

By 1997 the steam ran out, as quoted from the New York Times:

A store manager said last December that sales had dropped 15 percent over the previous two years. Neighborhood residents said that the first half of 1997 had done nothing to reverse that trend, that the novelty of Mr. Lee’s movie merchandise had worn off and that the urban wear he offered was available elsewhere.

In Living Color got it right though:
