and here's a quick an dirty, maxpower style, fitpic

 

Italian speakers will appreciate as well the excellent bit of writing behind me...

[Max Power]

The fit looks perfect. Also appreciate the "Graffiti". Does it translate to something with god and pigs?

[volvo240thebest]

thanks Max. they'll be much better after some wear, and I believe I've been a little too brave to have the jeans tapered further more to a 7,50 inches width. 8 would have been better probably. anyway they will look much better with sneakers or with some more formal shoes like Tricker's than what they look with moctoe boots.

those graffiti are crap!and that is just some plain terrible blasphemy, as you pretty much figured out yourself. We call it "bestemmia" in Italian and I still can't believe there is no word to translate it properly to English.

[Max Power]

Took some evo pics...I am nearing the 3 month. Taken inside with flash and outside without.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Looking great Flo! Especially the upper thighs!

 

Just had time so I did a fit update

 

 

[Max Power]

Thanks. You got a great fit - glad the length did work out for you.

[volvo240thebest]

Day no 3 on the Ues, much better now that's the fabric has softened up a bit.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Glad the tailoring worked out and you could join us in the end!

[bradl]

Now that is what I picture a European kitchen to look like. 

[ThinFinn]

[geL-]

Sorry Volvo, I ment to pos rep you. Really dig the photo you took here.

[ColdStorage]

Really been enjoying this contest from the sidelines. Max & Obbigood pairs both shaping up quite nicely. I've added the 400R to my list of "things I absolutely don't need but will probably get anyway".

[ThinFinn]

here's a small update from me again...going to throw them into the washer later today (2nd wash)!

i'm working as a site manager/construction engineer, so my jeans do either sit in the office in front off a desk or they walk around on site, checking on everybody and everything!

while on site, i'm walking around like this

fit pics

thigh fades + dirt stains

this comes from wearing safety boots all the god damn day...

[volvo240thebest]

proper use of the UES jeans as workwear there Rafa. I have to say you've got my favourite fit on the 400T. you really fill in the jumbo sized (at least to me) thigh space pretty well.

 

here one more fit on the UES, love to wear them a bit too short over trickers

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Looking good you two! Very nice evo Rafa!

I will give you my 4 months update on the weekend

[Somar]

And now it's time to update a bit! A little late, but here they are, 2 month update pics

[Somar]

3 months update of the UES 400T

 

 

 

Yeah... This one was definitely inspired by Obbigood 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love how the numbers of the date started crackling. Also, not much left of the my size (33) and model (400T).

Very good progress so far Somar!

 

I am wearing my pair nearly daily and it does fade but it starts to lose indigo all over and the fades I had at 3 months get less pronounced.

 

Today and the next two days I'm in the middle of our IFS&BRC re-certification so you won't see me much 'round here

[volvo240thebest]

Somar, jeez what a progress!

Hoggy, thanks!

[Somar]

Thanks b_F  

 

How about washing them to prevent bleeding?

 

IFS&BRC re-certification

 

Say what ... ?

[Somar]

Somar, jeez what a progress!

Hoggy, thanks!

 

My progress is nothing compared to your Italian kitchen!!!! Damn, I bet some fine dishes are cooked there. 

[Bobbo]

Love watching this from the sidelines. It's just lacking the foodporn from the Ooe-contest.

On a sidenote: Volvo, you really made me miss Italy with that view of your kitchen! 

[ThinFinn]

^ foodporn you say?...

just had this yesterday

 

oooooooooh lord!

beef steak topped with grilled onions,

sweet potatoes stuffed with grasfed butter, bacon and grilled onions

avocado sprinkled with bacon...boom!

[volvo240thebest]

ah ah! glad you all seem to enjoy my kitchen!

Bobbo I miss Sweden as much as you miss Italy, I've been over a few times harvesting for vintage volvo parts in scrapyards (yeah I know it's sounds crazy). I'd come over anytime again if I could!

[Max Power]

I mmiss both sweden and italy.

[Bobbo]

Now we're talking Finn! Made me hungry straight away.

^^ Haha, that does sound a bit crazy, but around sufu we're all more or less crazy anyway.

 

Funny how it seems alot of people around here have visited Sweden. It is great, but I never took it for a touristy country. Guess I'm kinda blinded by living here.

[Max Power]

Well, both italy and Sweden are the places I've been the most, each at least 5 times. You get different things out of these countries and I like all of them. Food and culture versus nature and outdoor life. Only thing that's equal fantastic are the women.
