Great post Foxy! Your P1800 is killing me! One of the most special Volvo ever made. Though my dream Volvo is still this:

I hope to buy one in Sweden and drive it back home, maybe when I turn 40, as a self indulgent present!

Greetings from Germany!

I'm here again and I believe this the 10th trip to Germany for 2014. Here's a pic from tonight's venue, the beautiful Castle in Ettlingen near Karlsruhe.

Some place..

I wish I still had my camera with me, this room would have been an incredible place to take a photo with a fisheye lens.

good job Jared_Lee!  even though I wear my pair at least 5 days a week, I've almost no whiskers on my pair so far. I should start biking. volvo driving doens't seem to fade as quickly ahaha!

nice post hoggy, bravo!
I love Tricker's, I only have one pair, a factory second William boot (has a barely visible discolouration of leather on one boot), which I bought for 150k italian lire (the equivalent of 75 eur now) back in 1999. these are the shoes that I always use the most during winter, very comfortable. they were resoled a couple times and they still look really good. here they are

I'd love to grab a pair of Tricker Bourton's. in my dreams a pair of these as well

Does anyone know esquisseba?

It seems like a quite new brand, there are some nice fit pictures on IG but no fading samples.

Great updates by each ad every one!

Sugar Mountain I also enjoyed that book when I read it, ages ago. One of the best Murakami novels methinks.

Hoggy, ever tried Tricker's? I have too big wide feet and I find them to be the most comfortable shoe ever. Bit pricey but in the long run they're worth every penny, a true shoe that looks better with age. My pair it's getting into their 16th year of wear and still looks perfect.

It will take at least one more full month of dedicated wear to see some significant crocking and fading I believe. These are a bit slow at first but once they take off they're mighty! It took me six months of daily wear of the 50's jacket to start to see some relevant combing. Jeans are easier to fade than jackets though. I'll keep washing the jeans once a month or so, hope to get a nice balance between contrast and vintage fades.

R425H if you can track down a pair, I believe the hemp denim is discontinued now. Only slighty tapered. Here's how they fit on me for reference

Today myself and my happy jeans went to beautiful Bruges in Belgium to pay a visit to my friend Geert, a master craftsman, one of the best living makers of hystorical wood flutes. He's saving my work life by lending me for free all the gear I need and making me all the new equipment at a bargain sustainable price and with the shorter waiting time possible. God bless the Belgians!

Here's the man himself reaming away a prototype flute for me

Tools of the trade, a vintage reamer worth some serious €€€!

Great updates Foxy! Welcome aboard! Shoot Inoue San an email or a Facebook message, I think he could sort you out with a patch of some sort (maybe not the contest patch).

Gnome, damn! Perfect fit from 'stache to toe!

Greetings from Koln, Germany!

We're on tour in Germany atm, staying at some friend's beautiful house in the countryside.

Sorry for the arsehole face ahaha!

Any hints on things to do in Koln? I have some free time to kill today.

cross post from the TCB contest. sorry for the stupid smile!

finally we've been blessed with two days of decent weather in a row and I had time enough to wash my pair! I absolutely love how these fit right after the wash. If I could just hybernate this fit it'd be fantastic! Unfortunately they stretch like mad fuckers..

great photo Til! and I like the jacket as well

Good to know next wash I'll give it a go!

Hi foxy hope you get them soon, look forward to your updates!

I am about to throw the "stovepipes" in the washing machine for their second wash, the turnups are really filthy of mud after the big rains we had here two weeks ago. Has anyone tried yet a 60 degrees wash? I am going for a 40 but I might consider 60 for next time just to get rid of more shrink.
