PIKE BROTHERS Bundesländer Tour 2010-2011

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Great news, if you could make it before.the pants have left back to Germany.

As I don't know the time schedule and the Samurai contest jeans are still far away from reaching us, I can wear those pants some more weeks, if this is ok to you guys.

Here some more crosspost updates from MN thread:

2011-11-03 and 04

Escaping the fog and went into the mountains helping on some heavy work around my parents place (Forest, garden,.... I used my old work pants instead of the Pike Brothers then. I didn't wanted to ruin them now, still much too nice pants. So no pics here

2011-11-05 and 06

Real nice weekend with warm and sunny weather:

At the lake of Zurich: My favorite swimming place during summer time. Too cold now

Very popular to stroll along the lake

Behind our house:

But instead of enjoying those nice sunny days I had to work very hard over the whole weekend:

I was luckily able to rent another room next to my existing Jeansmuseum, so the first time in my life I was able to start sorting out all the pants and denim jackets and start making an inventory of all this stuff.

So at the beginning we are laying out the first few hundreds items and sort them out. I was wondering what's coming out of all this boxes. Most of them I havn't checked out since over 20 years because of lack of room:

On the left hand side, you can see the first 50 boxes sorted out with Levis, Lee and Wrangler pants and denim jackets (a little part of the over 500 boxes)

We sorted out the different brands in an alphabetical way on the floor

A lot of more work has to be done over the next weeks and months

I had to escape away from the heavy fog in the Swiss lowlands into the mountains and hope to be able for some more updates soon. The Pike Brothers just have some heavy duty in the garden and in the forest. But I try to be really carefull

PB's just arrived. the box was suspiciously heavy. Ruedi was so generous to add about 1,5 kg's of swiss chocolate, which comes more than handy at this time now. a big cheers to you Ruedi, much appreciated!

even more suspicious was this little plastic bag. looked like some weed at first glance, but i reckon its what Ruedi found in his cuffs after a month.

for the reggae heads

sorry, no fitpics for now. an update will coming soon.

i am very sorry for messing the tour up and not being able to provide any updates. last weeks were very complicated for me and the situation for interesting pics just did not happen.

not sure if this was the last leg, but i would suggest to send it to somebody else who is able to do them more justice.

really sorry again, but sometimes the unpredictable happens...

[Max Power]

No problem, man, I hope you're ok. If you want, we can meet in the next days, there are some who wanted to do a second round in them.

[dr.house]

Whazzup with the jean? It should be sent back to PB at the end of the tour...

[Max Power]

^see mn. Almostnice handed me the jeans over two weeks ago. Unfortunately I can barely fit in, so I will take a WAYWT and evo pics before sending them to the next guy. If anybody wants to do a second leg, let me know, otherwise I'll send them to Dr. House.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I can't fit them...so send them off. or maybe Ruedi wants to give them some more wear

[kayodic]

both of you have grown tummy eh? younger generation is so hopeless i see.... take ruedi as your role model, keep staying fit and active so please send the jeans back to him or dr house.

[Max Power]

I don't want to disappoint you honey, but I think i gained weight because I do more sports than before. (At least, that's what i like to think. Maybe b_f was right, I live in my own world.).

[dr.house]

I think we should end up the contest and send 'em back to PB like it was planned.

[Max Power]

Ok, fine with me. Do you want to receive them? PM me your adress then. But like I wrote on MN, I only have the jeans right now, not the belt. Might wait until my next meeting with almostnice before I send it.

[Max Power]

I like the fadings, even if they were often critisized for being boring. looks vintage IMO.

[almostnice]

If you make it to the store on saturday i will hand you the belt and other stuff over. Daniel would be happy to join us then.

[Max Power]

Yeah, I'll try. But I can't promise, as I might get visited by a friend this saturday. But I'll try to manage.
