NoKipple - Official Thread

[summ3rhays]

That's a great looking shirt.  Any details or are you just going to tease us with the pic?

[Megatron1505]

Just the pic......for now 

[themaster]

Mega what size you wear on those trophy shirts?

[Megatron1505]

In every Trophy shirt I own/ have tried I am a 42 or XL depending which system they have used. They do size pretty well, definitely not tiny shirts, as I am not a tiny man ha ha.

The Frontier shirts aren't actually with us yet, but we'll post measurements as soon as they are.

so, i moved this past weekend.  moving sucks but the new place is pretty chill.  just got the innernet hooked up and have these pic's from yesterday to share.  up early and had to grab breakfast on the way.

 

 

 

we had a pretty awful thing happen down at the Navy Base.  some civilian truck guy (with credentials to get on base) got down to one of the ships on the pier and managed to wrestle a gun from a guard on duty.  during the struggle, another Sailor tried to help and got shot and killed.  other sailors came to help and the civilian was shot and killed.  as you could imagine, (with the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard last year), base security is under heavy scrutiny.

Capt of the base came out for a "presser"

 

 

 

 

afterwards we grabbed quickie lunch here.  forgot to snap pic of pizza but it was alright

 

 

miserable outside, again.  this March has been the worst months in years in terms of just nasty weather. tried to just stay in as much as possible

 

 

had to stop by here after work and pick up some beverages to cheer me up

 

 

While I'm still unpacking and going thru stuff I'd thought I'd share these with you.  Some of you have been along with me from my first tour, and some I'm sure are newer peeps who maybe didn't.  either way there was a life before Denim that I'd thought I'd share with ya'll.

^ not sure why you posted these here BUT I really enjoyed the evo of tvshooter! (Edit: I forgot about the tour, thanks ColdStorage)

 

also, Mega, those 3/4-placket linen work shirts look really great. Do you have any fit pics yet?

Keen on getting more info about the Trophy Linen when the time comes, Linen is the only thing I like about the damn warm part of the year...

 

Thanks TVShooter for another great update. May your diligence and creativity be an inspiration to future slots on the tour...!

 

(and glad to see you didn't spray this pair down with ice cream and chocolate syrup!  )

I think everyone has done a "Kiss" pic at some point in their lives ...... check out the background.

 

 

And in the foreground, a plasticise me.....

 

 

Great stuff as usual TVS, you remain the king of the tours thus far.

This is the only fit pic I have so far, I'm also excited for this shirt as it could be a summer essential.

[tvshooter]

my leg of the tour is officially over.  been a tough month.  i know other areas had it much worse but the weather really suuuucked.  even Iz is over it.

 

 

some randomness here.  weekend pic's.  had to get the old place emptied out with whatever little crap was left over from the move and clean it up.  had to grab some light bulbs and random stuff at WallyWorld first.

 

 

 

 

 

finished up and celebrated by gettin some fro-YO!!

 

 

 

 

[tvshooter]

started off monday as we normally do.  coffeeshop.

 

 

last night my friend came into town.  he just moved to Chicago with his wife.  seems like all my friends have split from here now.  went to our other friends restaurant. 

 

 

well at least my bud Gordon on the right still staying in town.

 

 

 

beer drinking night

 

 

then this dork showed up

 

 

 

more beer

 

 

 

 

 

so, another tour in the books.  i think i put a pretty good beating on the jeans.  washed them once and hung dry them.  they do shrink after a wash but eventually return to size.  they stretch plenty so no need to size up on these.  i hope you guys enjoy them as much as I did.  Trophy makes some real cool stuff and I plan to add some more Trophy into my life in the near future.   as for tours, i think i'm done.  it's been a fun ride and I hope someone else takes it to the next level!

[ColdStorage]

Thanks for a good month. I really hope your momentum and enthusiasm rubs off on others, or perhaps some competitive spirit kicks in! Off to Summ3rHays next then...?

 

Don't take your retirement from tours too seriously, i'm sure we haven't seen the last of you....
 

Don't mean to get too personal but i'm pretty jealous that you appear to be constantly eating fried chicken, giant subs, pulled pork, frozen yogurt,

... while staying in (what appears to be) pretty reasonable shape! When I hit 30 last year I really had to step up my exercise and watch my diet... not that i'm overly conscious of my figure but I did start to outgrow some pretty expensive jeans  ! Edited April 2, 2014 by ColdStorage

[tvshooter]

thanks CS...and, yeah, there's a lot of blub under my shirt, just hide it well. (i should be in a 32 shhh don't tell anyone)  gonna have to get back to doing something before summer gets here.  but damn, yeah, that fried chicken was unreal.

[hectic]

Hey TVS, thanks for first tour leg, super nice posts and pics, really cool, respect.

I look forward to getting the tour jeans.  Pretty epic posts there tvshooter.  Expectations have been set pretty high, but I've enjoyed watching your daily life.

Truly fantastic TVS, I cannot thank you enough for the start you have given this tour.

 

Mr Summerhays, could you PM your address to TVS and we will roll onwards, big shoes to fill Mike but I have absolute faith 

[tvshooter]

thanks guys!  jeans are already on the road to Mr. Summ3r. . .should be there shortly.

[Megatron1505]

BTW, in case anyone might be interested, new things are incoming and expected to land with us soon........so many pretty new things 

[Megatron1505]

 

Insane roping, Trophy Garage Denim.

[hectic]

I did a wax on my Trophy Trial Master jacket. Pretty satisfying experience; I've done it before with other jackets. One treatment is quite effective, but for that heavy Barbour-style waxed look it could take 1-2 more coats.

 

Here's a couple of vids and an after pic.
