Do you think he's bummed everyone's bitten his bucket hat style now.
But can't one argue that be 'bit' that from Daniel Haney, who bit the style from Alfonso Rawls who but it from... Just sayin'
About US availability of Pass~Port: They are distributed through Permanent, so surely some shops carry them. Being pressed by Generator it would make sense that they'd be cheaper in the states than in Australia, but I just haven't been able to find anyone selling them here. Then again, I'm loyal to my local for hard goods so haven't looked very hard but when I did look the only place I could find them was eBay for $90-100 USD plus an additional $50 USD for shipping from AUS.
Suppose it's time to bug my shop to get an account with Permanent Dist and if that happens then hopefully they have a good 8.5-8.6 shape, haven't seen anything over 8.38 listed online.
