Being Hispanic II

Prison-ism

Jacket selvedge.
Chambray shirt.
When the hispanic population was banned from using irons they sewed in their creases to keep looking sharp.

Swedish prison jacket. I wish this denim was available to buy. Super heavy weight, and extra rough.
Painted metal buttons.
Inside waist cinch.
Inside pocket. Cool closure, remind me to borrow that.

Metal hooks for a belt

The 1939 Garage.

Why have one project when you can have two.

A Day In Whittier.

The Reason.

I was skating before this video came out.  Just messin around slashing. After I saw this video I wanted everything that was skateboarding. The clothes, the music, the look, the attitude. I was in love.

A Day In L.A.

Ah The 70's

Is that an amc pacer or a ford pinto?

Primer Nationals

Los Boulevardos Car Club had some of the nicest paint jobs at the show. There is something about metal flake in the summer sun. 

The RRL Bowery Boot

My wife surprised me with a pair of RRL benchmade boots for my birthday. Only 44 of these were produced and feature deadstock cat's paw soles. Thought I would share.

Pomona Swap Meet

This sunday was the Pomona Car Swap Meet. This 1940 chevrolet pick up is a regular there. This thing is loaded with just about all the accessories you could get in 1940. 

Whittier car show

Very nice 1954 Chevrolet. 
 1938 Chevrolet pick up in original condition.
1941 Hudson pick up. Rare bird
1948 Chevrolet fleetmaster 4 door sedan. The three stainless moldings on the fenders are not original to this model. Those were for the higher end Fleetline. They do look nice though on this two toned sedan.
1937 Chevrolet 

The 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe.

This one is my favorite of all the 1939s in Los Angeles. This is an original color for this year called Yosemite green. Very stock, clean, and simple. NICE!! 

Some great photos shorpy.com

Why is that kid missing shoes and socks?
