That’s right, just as the last couple yellow ones went out the door, a new order rolled in. This time around, with an updated design featuring printing on both sides! Progress. Same price. Same deal. Same odd, clammy plastic substance. These things last forever. Serious. Fits in front pockets very well. Holds change/small things. We supply a list right on the thing to inspire you. Going fast. Great gift opportunity. Buy a set, use one, and give the other one away to a pal. There you go. Buy now.

GET CONTAINED: DDC-006 “Spare Change Containment Apparatus”

FILE THIS ONE UNDER “DREAM CLIENT”: Cinco alumnus Josh Nelson of Portland, Ore. unearths a link that shows the Carhartt Workwear Brand & Retail Guidelines packaging. Designed up by smarter people than you in London. I’m thinking they should find a designer stateside to handle this stuff. I know of a guy in Portland, Ore. He comes with loose references and big stories along the lines of, “Those jackets have saved my life more than once.”

Dream client, people, dream client.

This one right here made me lose my marbles. So good.

MR. GILMORE, AGAIN: An incredible illustration for the cover of Key.

THIS GUY HAS THE RIGHT IDEA: “Make Something Cool Every Day!” I mean, come on. No excuses. Every fucking day. You could be dead tomorrow!

The guy nailed it on this day. Much respect.

DENIM HUNTERS: So I met a guy in the hard Rock circle bar one night, and he got to telling me about an article he read about a “Denim Hunter” prowling the west for relic Levis and stuff. Incredible. Well, here’s what the hell he was talking about, and man, it’s worth a read: “The Brotherhood of the Very Expensive Pants.” Keep yer eyes open. You just never know… (Thanks, David! ) I’m gonna add that one to my list of services: “Denim Hunting.”

Carhartt’s marketed a hell of a lot differently here in Europe than in the US. Far more of a fashion brand aimed at young urbanites than the OG workwear for construction and oil rigs that it seems to be in the US.

Is that an original Quikoin®? I fondly remember how those things smelled… oh joyous plastic/rubber goodness.

cheers, jon

Hi Aaron. The new stuff in the store looks pretty amazing. I might have to plunk down some cash despite this recession business.

Anyway, I saw this post and thought of you. I don’t believe you’ve linked it here before, but I’ve never had a good memory.

Man, what a great goddamn graphic, I love it. Stopped me dead in my tracks when I saw it. And that Aluminum book…whew. I’ve got some books with great illustrations in ‘em, but that thing is epic, and somewhat unusual in its use of screens to create add’l spot colors. Amazing, thanks for sharing.
