too much taper on that cut IMO

Went to LA with the family, got some fishing squeezed into the itinerary, and also an updated fit pic

I'm very happy but I think they have a way to go and are at a kind of in-between stage; usually when jeans are at the four or five wash stage, let's say 13 months or so, I put them aside for special occasions. I'm looking forward to taking them further.

 

I did take a month off to wear my LVC 1890s for the summer but now I realise i have some serious competition, they won't be leaving me...

 

Paul, do you use the dryer or hang dry?

I'm in... prefer 3009

I'll be down if it doesn't overlap with the current TCB contest

Pancakes are delicious, very similar to a Hong Kong style salty pancake

A recap of this past few weeks.

 

I finally got some time to get out on the water and stayed at a friend's cottage for a few days. Nothing beats fishing and fresh fried fish.

Those are looking good Ah_long.

 

Just out of curiosity...have you decided what your next pair will be at the end of this contest?

Haven't decided yet. I still have a brand new pair of sd106 and a brand new pair of samurai x take 5 at home

Another update on the TCB's, another wash, both knees are blown out, one corner of the pocket is blown out and the other corner should see the same fate in about a month from the looks of it. Probably not going to repair it as the contest will only run until the end of this year. I'm in a 3~4 week wash cycle now.

Very busy week

 

Was in Frankfurt for a 24 hour layover, had some good food and beer, and then off to Orlando for an annual fishing trade show. And I should be off to Beijing tomorrow. 3 Continents in one week, I'm exhausted...

The fabric on these TCB's are amazing, they wear in very differently than all my other jeans. They don't produce sharp contrast but they have a very distinct texture. I'm in the regular wash stage and we should see some accelerated wear over the summer as the much of the indigo has been worn off @ certain areas.

wow, those combs and texture

Some food from my recent layover in Shanghai

popped open a bottle that I've been saving for about five years, cooked a nice aged steak and some egg plants from the farmers market this morning
