i could see myself having a beer at that lake now...love it!

[bradl]

Man European country side is something else, so beautiful.

[Bobbo]

I should have some pics of the other side of the lake from last summer somewhere. Might post it if I can find 'em.

Finally got my competition pair back from Denim Therapy. Falling way behind in this competition.

[Bobbo]

You barely seem to be behind me. I just wash mine rather frequently.

Sorry for the explosion in advance, but I am excited to present you with my little slice of America.  This is part of the photos from my rock climbing trip in North Carolina from last month.  Only one photo includes my jeans but I wore them every day and enjoyed the trip to the last day.

 

The view going up to the boulder site was gorgeous.

 

This is a dorky photo of me, my crash pad, and my Beatlebusters.

 

Picture of me in the giant boulder field.

 

More of the view

 

One of my buddies setting up a rope for anyone that gets scared halfway up.

 

A little gem we found in Downtown Asheville, NC

 

One of us actually on the rock.

 

Me, a ridiculous chicken hat, the friend wearing it, and my friend as a reference for height.

 

Me on the wall looking for a way up to the finish and some well placed advertisement

 

First person view from the top of the rock.

 

I have another person who took photos but he has taken them from his camera yet.  I do think this is quite enough as it is.

 

Hope you enjoyed!

[Bobbo]

Nice change of pace.

Climbing has been hyped quite alot in Sweden the past year or so. Seems like a great way to exercise, if you like exercising.

Just an FYI, this is Christian Science Church - not Scientology. Based on the teachings of Christ and Mary Baker Eddy, it focuses on God's power to heal. Here's the wikipedia article.

It definitely isnt as easy as walking up the rock.  I pulled some muscles in both of my shoulders this last Saturday.

[louisbosco]

just some updated pictures before the really manky rainy weather comes...

 

007s.

 

 

 

[Max Power]

Wonderful pair.

[fanya]

Love that denim, shame about the cotton stitching :/

[louisbosco]

@max thanks mate.

 

@fanya yeah it's a lovely denim. which stitching you talking about? the hem or??

[saintkeat]

What I did over the weekend.

 

In all honesty it wasn't in my contest pair, but it was a real cool trip.

 

Watch in 1080p

^^fanya was referring to the cotton thread used in the construction, I think ... & yeah, PBJs give great fadez when broken in properly.

Congrats, you already won by having them

[louisbosco]

ahh okay. well yeah the cotton threads along the hem area is starting to unravel. this fabric is beautiful. pbj's fabric has been known to be quite slubby, however maybe it's because this is the 24oz, i dont find them to be as slubby as those from their lighter weight models.

[Davil]

Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu.  Im still here…it's still hot.  Heavyweight denim still riding and kicking my arse.  Very friendly people here, awesome food, and a very beautiful country. 

 

[FLDenim211]

Have some strong competitors to still be wearing their jeans in the coming summer. Mine have been hung up for the last ~2 weeks because of it with only a wear here and there.

[louisbosco]

@saintkeat wow. that was a nice hike. where is that??

 

@FL thankfully down under, winter is just around the corner. good time to be wearing it.

[saintkeat]

North of Malaysia in Pahang.

 

I'll post up part 2 here when its done. Should be a little more exciting!

[Slowitchu]

I've almost lost count on how long it's been right now, but I guess its almost 14 months and one wash

 

 

 

[Megatron1505]

Lovely.

[map111158]

Long day in the mud. This one burst thru a sheet of 3/4" plywood on her hut like it was a piece of tissue paper during the night so had to repair. Something probably startled her.

[FLDenim211]

time for another wash it looks like.

[saintkeat]

Here's Part 2.

Awesome fades and denim structure!

[Megatron1505]

It has been pointed out to me that not only have I not posted the new challenges on time, I have also not completed the last challenge myself. I can only apologise for my idiocy and resolve to do better in future.

Here is my hastily assembled "Denim at work" challenge pics, and new challenges will be up in the next 12 hours.

I make stuff that goes in missiles.

This is my crap hole of a desk.

And here is my denim at work....

[Davil]

Just wondering who all out there still has not washed their jeans?  Im on about 7 soaks, no soap, no machine wash.  I figure I made it this far why wash em.  I'm sure Im not the only one.
