Yeah I was thinking about it. My uncle does it from time to time and I could get him to help me get set up for it. I think I'll need to buy some sort of press but reloading cases will be far cheaper in the long term.

This is all it's about. Dressing with some sort of intent (to have style) is a good way to set yourself apart from other people - the way I do it is going to be different from the way a design major or a rock star does it, but the intent is the same. It's worth putting a bit of energy into it.

Cords are corduroys, pants that are like furrowed velvet, the cloth that has the repeating canyons in it.

Slang for corduroy.

Of course. When it's in the work place or at a restraunt I'll dress "preppy" or "corporate", but not for everyday living. That's when vintage Cons, Levis and designer Ts come in :)

despite loving good clothes, I'm far from that. I am an all or nothing kind of guy on a lot of things, clothes being one of them.

I'm a college student so I don't have money for the nice clothes I want. I usally just wear jeans and a Tshirt. The quality of the T shirt depends on what I'm doing that day. I'f im doing grunt work I may put on something torn and raty. I'f I'm going out I will put on something newer.

I swear, if you take anything away from this Queer Eye for the TNLer part of this thread, check out Levi's Vintage. Throw away the rest of your jeans, buy one good pair of raw denim, and just wear that. Prewashed denim is for bitches. And check out Adidas Originals.

Ok, I just wasn't hip on the slang. Yeah, I know what that stuff is, I have a few pairs of pants made out of it.

Okay, another question for Les style gurus: the pants I really want are pinstripe, but I have no clue what type of shirt to wear with them. Should I go with a solid color, or vertical stripe?

My clothes are purchased by the pound from Ropas.

30 cents a pound, or $50 for a pair of pants? Tough decision...
