“These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don’t give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a deal out of. They go on and on with all this bullshit about ‘sanctity’ — don’t give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.”

Archival Clothing’s got a nice green version of their duffel.  The red zipper tape makes the bag.  It looks about the perfect size for a weekend or overnight trip.

Levi’s has updated their famed commuter line for 2012.  The jeans are back with a few more colors, and there are now ‘trousers’ (think chinos in various colors), as well as a vented hoodie and the denim jacket (think Springsteen circa anytime).   For those of you who don’t know, ‘commuter’ in this sense means bike-friendly.  Stretch built into the fabric, U-lock pockets, antimicrobial fabric, and other various touches sort of make them turbo pants.  We haven’t tried them yet but do plan on getting some into the MLG testing facility.

We’re in midwinter, at least those of us in the northern hemisphere, but that doesn’t mean the occasional warm day (or warm season- I’m looking at you, Boston) doesn’t grace our towns.  In thinking about spring and summer, these shows come to mind.  Minimal look, durable approach (lace covers for skating, cycling, or what-have-you), and contrasting color make for a good foot accessory.  Available at your local shoe store or if not, the internets via Googling.  via the always-tasteful Selectism.

Backlog Unlogging

Dear reader, we apologize for the drought in fineries and offerings here at MLG.  Brace yourself for an onslaught of quality, while we post a seven several-item backlog over the course of the day.
