PIKE BROTHERS Bundesländer Tour 2010-2011

[Max Power]

maxpower - hmmmm...wasn't there the possibility to just add a new thread to the coaster and leaving the old one from matt?...would have looked better imo!

Too late.

and actually there should be a direct connection from munich to hamburg and no connection from kassel to hamburg. the jeans didn´t travel that way....

Yeah, you're right. I'll try to fix it...

Better?

[Atzec]

Yeah, thanks

[Max Power]

^No problem

[ThinFinn]

YES! way better...

[ranonranonarat]

would it be possible to number the holes so that we can tell the journey of them jeans better? haha.

[Max Power]

Long time no see…My last weekend with the PB has broken. I went to the North Sea today and as you can see, you can’t see much. It was stormy and foggy, but I didn’t get lost in the ebb. It was very melancholic and morbid today. But what do you expect in January?

Anybody knows Wacken? :mrgreen:

After all this solitude I was lucky to get to my quarter – Ottensen. I love it there, I went to Teufels Küche (Hell’s Kitchen), where the waitresses are charming and the food (Merguez) is good…

I hope I didn’t bore you with all these blurry pics…

[beatle]

seriously - always good to see the ocean..how far away from the shore do you live ?

[Max Power]

I live in Hamburg, so roughly 50 to 100 km to both seas. But I can walk to the Elbe in 10 Minutes

[beatle]

ah, Hamburg, should've figured as much since u posted pics with Almostnice..good stuff

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thank YOU all. And is the weekend over yet?

Here's the evo at the end of my leg:

[Max Power]

Alright folks, this is it. My last post in this leg. I had plenty of fun and it feels a bit strange to send the jeans away (but a relieving thought to get them for a second round ;-)). I added a shell I found at the Baltic sea to our little souvenir pouch.

A big THANK YOU for all the nice comments over the last weeks, kudos to Matthias and Markus and Slainté! to the silent readers (Julia, Karen, Nico,…).

[Max Power]

[Max Power]

See you next time and enjoy life…

Patch has been oiled, package is packed, surprise included. Will send tomorrow if they let me out of work. So, off to the next one.

[dingo]

Just came back from work, and guess what I got in the mail: :-)

First impressions: Compared to my 21oz Sammies the Engineers are very, VERY soft, obviously. There is not much left to say about the denim that hasn´t been said by the experts that went before me – for a "normal" guy like me, those jeans make a great impression, and they feel very comfy. I´m going to post the first fitpics tomorrow, when I´ll be able to take some pics in daylight. I can say though that they do fit me alright, I had feared worse! ;-)

The Obbigood-Stuff is nice too, especially the patch/coaster is totally awesome! I´m just not sure whether the stitching will hold during the whole tour, but we´ll find out about that, too.

@ Flo: Thanks a lot for the cool card and the little surprise! ;-)

Again: more pics and information to follow by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!

[ranonranonarat]

great to see them going again. can't wait to see how this unfolds dingo.

[dingo]

All right, here we go: Fitpics!

I was hoping to be able to take some in daylight, but I had a pretty busy day at the university and picking up my son later on, so I didn´t have the chance for that. But there´ll be some good pics this weekend, promise! Tonight I´ll go to a Hardrock-Concert: Peter Pan Speedrock are performing in Kassel. Does anyone know them?

I´m planning to have the crotch-rip repaired tomorrow as well – I´m so bad at sewing, I´d only make things worse if I tried to to it myself, I guess…

[ThinFinn]

^like I've said on mn. fit is perfect!

[dingo]

New Updates!

So I went to this concert yesterday night – it was alright. The support-band kinda sucked, but the main act rocked the house. The audience was pretty small – about 150 people I guess. Anyway, here are the pics:

No new pics of the engineers today, as they´re in the washing machine right now. I used the Dr. Bronner´s- soap that Max Power sent to me with the jeans.

Took some measurements before the wash too, but I don´t have them handy right now. I´ll post them later together with the postwash-measurements.

[beatle]

jeans fit you very well

[Max Power]

Great to see you got them, Dingo. Perfect fit and a very nice show you took them to! Enjoy your leg!

[dingo]

So, here are the measurements you´ve all been waiting for… they´ve shrunken quite a bit in my opinion. Waist shrunk from 86 cm (34") to 82 cm (32,3") , and the inseam went from 87 cm (34,3") to 83 cm (32,7"). They fit much better now in my opinion, but I´m not the type for a baggy fit anyway, I think.

So, they were still a bit damp this morning, so I decided not to wear them during the day - I will tonight though. Anyway, here are the pics:

See some fades now, Dr. House? ;-) Now for the fitpics:

I have to apologize for the back of my easy chair and the cables… My girlfriend took the pics, and I didn´t realize that stuff was on the pics until I saw the pics on my computer… :-D

[dingo]

Part II: Although I didn´t wear the Engineers since they were still damp, I took some pics of some market that I went to today, because I thought you might be interested… If you´re not, just skip this post ;-)

We went to the Markthalle in Kassel, which is a big house were one can buy great quality food and some handicrafts from several retailers on the weekend. Actually we wanted to have breakfast there, but it was so crowded that we couldn´t get a table.

Tonight we´re going to see some movie at the cinema, don´t know yet which one. The Engineers are dry now, so I can finally start wearing them properly… :-)

[Max Power]

Great updates!! I thought they would look more contrasted after the wash. Did you like Dr. Bronners? It's probably very gentle to the fabric. And again, nice fit.
