TCB: happy jeans contest

[okisan]

This is me and the (much younger) nipper getting an esresso, and babycino, from three world champs: Michael Phillips, world champion barista, 2010 and in the middle, Stephen Morrissey Ireland's best barista, world champion 2008, and Gwilym Davies, 2012 .world champion.

 

I think Gwuilym might have recommended the ROK, previously known as the Presso. I've tried it, it's better than a conventional stovetop. Would make a good backup, especially for when me and nipper go camping in the volvo.

 

 

used to get my morning hits from Gwilym's coffee cart in Clerkenwell when i lived in London. i forgot the street name but it was west of Old Street tube. good guy

Having an ultimate indoor lazy day as it snows here in Chicago and I adjust from my jet lag...Figured I'd post some pictures of my TCB's which are really starting to pop! Lots of darkness to them yet but I plan to wash at least once a week here on out. Sorry for the indoor lighting!

 

Most accurate for blues:

always enjoy pics posted by aho. 

[Iron Horse]

Is it weird that I want to put that patch on a plate and eat it?

[Sugar Mountain]

It is weird, yes.

 

Now that you mention it though, it does resemble Taiwanese beef jerky a little...

lads, my jeans are finally starting to take shape finally!

I've been out from home on a last minute emergency work trip for the last week and i had no other pairs to backup, i couldn't indulge myself in the temptation of wearing the 60's, and i just lived on the 50's almost 24hrs a day!

So I just had a quite big move in my work career. Beside playing music I've being working on concert/festival organization for the last 10 years. Last week I won a public exam to become the new tech director of the biggest chamber music festival of my area here in Italy. I am really happy as it's a rather prestigious job. The festival it's held in a very beautiful place so I might be able to take some fun updates over the next months.

 

on another side I recently had a chance to buy a pair of Iron Rangers and they work just perfect with a wide leg jean like our beloved TCB's, finally I found the right shoe for these jeans!

more photos over the week end.

Congrats M! Looking forward to your festive updates.

[Maynard Friedman]

Congratulations volvo, that's music to our ears!

[Paul T]

Well done, Volvo!

[aho]

Congratulations indeed, great news and looking forward to your updates!

Spent the last week working like a crazy bastard on my new job. I hoped to have time over the weekend for a decent TCB update but I didn't unfortunately, as I had to spend time with my two wee girls!

[volvo240thebest]

Fuckin hell dude you're miles away already! Good job!

[Jared_Lee]

Thanks, holmes. Just a heavy dose of wear, wash, repeat.

[garden gnomes in space]

dang, i need to step it up.  looking good Jared L

[Jared_Lee]

Those jeans slung low off the waist are my TCB's. Together, me and this charra are taking care of business.

 

[Sugar Mountain]

Jared - After seeing both the tattoo and your jeans, all I can say is Woah!

 

Gnomes - how can we even step it up to compete with this? I'm wearing my jeans every chance I get and the fading is sloooow!

[aho]

Damn Jared, that's beautiful work!

 

Sugar, I thought they were slow to fade but a few washes really helps loosen up the dye in my experience. They're starting to take off just as I expected and I've had maybe around 5-6 washes?  

 

I didn't want to post any pictures from my Hong Kong and Tokyo trips (they're all on insta anyway) but I'll try and take some for the thread at Inspiration LA this weekend! It's going to be insane, the vendor list alone is off the charts, and it seems like everyone is going this year...

[Sugar Mountain]

Aho - yeah, I'm getting there and agree that the washing helps (mine have had 4 washes now). I love wearing these all the same, so it's ok if they take their own sweet time to crock. A couple of recent shots:

 

 

^ Peep the massive loom skip in the fabric on the top of the right thigh. 

 

 

I don't think anyone would have a problem with a few shots of your trip to HK and Tokyo (and a fit pic!). 

[Jared_Lee]

Sugar, all I can say is, I got a long way to go with both. I must say, it feels a little odd addressing you as Sugar. That loom skip is very similar to the one on my Devi's S01. So tight.

 

Aho, for my sake as a non-IG participant, post some photos from your trip here.

[Sugar Mountain]

Jared - Yeah, maybe ''SM'' works better if you want to shorten my handle!

[aho]

^haha alright Jared I'll have to sift through them to find the highlights!
