My Great-Grandfather was a train conductor. My Mom still wears his conductor's jacket from time to time. C&C really nailed it on this one. Although I doubt the denim is close to the real thing. Cool ass jacket though. Click the pic to cop.

Nike X SBTG X Royal Fam "Prison Blues" dunk series

Photobucket
The most expensive pair of sneakers I ever bought were the SBTG dunks these guys did a few years back. They provide a fresh and artistic spin on the ever ubiquitous dunk. They come out on 8/9 priced between $550 and $650. With only 24 pairs being made I guess I;m gonna have to stick with the one pair I got.
