Yup, that was one amazing tour leg CS. Europe has been set a standard, if it even comes close to that standard I will be a happy man.

[Foxy2]

Great leg(s) CS!

This will be hard to follow...

The shipping will take a week, most likely two.

So far the plan is to show you guys a little bit of Moscow in the fall and then we go for Scotland, visiting a distillery or two. For sure Berlin is in the cards, too.

Loved following the updates CS!

[bradl]

Loved the updates CS. Going to have to go back and take some notes on the records you were listening to and beer you were drinking.

@foxy, love Berlin cant wait to see it.

[Seul]

Cs: great pics, great dog, great jeans, great music, great beer. Cheers lad. 

[melbatoast]

watching your updates has been some of the most fun i've had on SF. thanks!

[Megatron1505]

Yep, total legendary status attained for CS.

 

Foxy, I've been looking forward to your leg(s) since you singed up for this, your life always looks so much more interesting than mine 

[Foxy2]

It's probably the same mix between boring and interesting as yours, just different and sometimes in really different places considering where I'm from...it certainly hasn't been easy all the way.

Same here. Always interested of one of the high rollers here.

Just going through some pics, really liked this one:

[Megatron1505]

Yes, my groin has never looked so good 

[hectic]

If it was full frontal mooseknuckle I would have preserved your modesty

[Foxy2]

It's been almost two weeks and I really hope for it to arrive this week.

Unfortunately, I can't track it once it arrives in Virginia as it gets to go onto military supply planes heading for Moscow.

Will post last weekends activities later today in order to keep the thread alive...

[Foxy2]

The eagle has landed - the tour jeans arrived in Russia, I will get them tonight!

I hope the sizing will work...

[Megatron1505]

Woop woop, I'm excited too.

[hectic]

Excellent, nice one Foxy.

[Megatron1505]

As summer comes to an end we decided to create some space in the stock room, bargains to be had...

 

[Maynard Friedman]

Some great bargains there with some items I can't believe are even going into a sale. My 3 personal faves:

- the Trophy shawl collar jacket. I'd buy this immediately if I didn't already own a similar LVC navy shawl collar jacket (that gets lots of wear). I'm still tempted though! I know how good the quality of Trophy is as I already have the hooded reservoir jacket in olive

- Jelado 55 jeans - these look like a great cut and the denim looks excellent too, although sadly there are very few worn-in pairs to see on the forums

- the Jelado rock star shirt. I don't do westerns, but if I did it would be this one

Happy shopping peeps and grab some bargains while you can...

I have nothing to do with NoKipple by the way, just offering an honest punters opinion.

[Megatron1505]

Thank you MF, your cheque is in the post 

[Maynard Friedman]

He's joking of course!

It's all PayPal these days...

[Foxy2]

Back to World Tour business...

Earlier today we got informed that the jeans had arrived on Russian soil. We decided to meet the messenger at Shake Shack on Novy Arbat, not far away from our little apartment.

Here's the package...

But the jeans did not come alone...

Later at home we decided to properly welcome our new house guest!

The denim looks and feels amazing. A good mix between Samurai Zero denim and PBJ (for the nep).

I only get to do an initial fitting for tonight, but no pictures: the jeans is about a size too big, but I can make it work for now - later I might require the help of a belt. I will start wearing them tomorrow.

I will try to give you an idea of my regular schedule before we go into the weekend with a short trip to Berlin.

[Maynard Friedman]

Is that the Moscow branch of Sam Peckinpah's western-themed eatery?

[ur_ugly]

Didn't know That shake shack has a branch in moscow.

[Foxy2]

It's a branch of Shake Shack - not so sure about any connection to Sam Peckinpah...

OK - tonight I finally have some time for an update on the current state of affairs:

On the way back from work we got into some serious traffic jam - not unusual for Moscow's city centre...

Had to feed the cat and play a little. Meet Mao, the latest addition to the Fox family:

BTW: he approves the Dirt Denim!

[Foxy2]

Since it was early I headed over Oleg's, a good friend of mine who works as the shop manager for a local Moscow brand.

He's a fellow denim head as you can see from his excellent pair of Studio D'Artisan 105

While chatting with him about the latest developments in the world of Japanese selvedge denim I found some time to take proper fitting pictures.

As you can see they are at least a size (or two) too big, but for the greater good I will make it work!

Nice one, Foxy, thanks, they've cuffed nicely there though

[Foxy2]

Here is the long overdue update from my weekend in Berlin...

Had to enjoy the last hours of sunshine on the balcony - something you do in Berlin!

And here's the obligatory German garden gnome - Gartenzwerg...
