Dickies Selvedge Denim Jeans and Jeep obsession.

Image
Dickies 1922 Heritage Jeans We got our hands on some Dickies jeans from their Heritage collection. These jeans are made at the Dickies work shop in New Braunfels Texas of Cone Mills White Oak denim. The White Oak plant in North Carolina was built by Cone Mills in 1905 and they weave selvage denim on narrow looms from the 1940's. We have a small supply of the carpenter and heavy duty button fly straight leg five pocket styles in limited sizes. These are selling well by word of mouth and we aren't going to put them on our web store until they become more readily available. If you're interested in them give us a call or email 66@66MotorPalace.com and we can arrange a fitting and send you some pictures. International friends please accept our apology, we are unable to ship this product outside the USA.

But when it's all said and done, if I leave this place the things I'll miss the most are the  Pomona  and  Long Beach  Swap Meets. If you ever want to surprise me I love 66-67 Dodge Chargers.

Triumph update, Lori's Goat Farm, and Stalking a Crazy Old Jeep

Image
Lucky Triumph Last week's Triumph troubles are turning out to be a pretty good thing...if you're the Triumph. Lori's been wanting to do something with it for awhile and said, "Since it needs a battery I might as well take the gas tank off and see about paint." So the battery's here, the tank and rear fender are off, she's shopping for a tail light assembly, and pondering some paint options. Here's a few pictures of her tearing it apart after we siphoned the gas out of it. Here's a few more with the color turned on. Agriculture Report The seedlings were transplanted into their new pots Saturday. Lori knocked the bottoms out of the eggshells and planted them with Marigolds to help repel insects. They're taking well to their new homes and look like they've grown in the last twenty four hours! More at  www.townhomesteader.com   Crazy Old Jeep This Jeep caught my eye while fueling up last wee...
