TCB: happy jeans contest

[garden gnomes in space]

I will most likely need to do some back pocket repair in the future, as they are starting to unravel at the top like Volvo's pair.  Im getting a much more subtle fade with these, most likely due to the frequent washes and looser fit.  I still love them.  

 

[volvo240thebest]

they look great and you took some damn fine pics too. perfect capture of the colour of the denim, which I find rather hard to get.

[garden gnomes in space]

yea, gotta over expose a bit.  I usually struggle to get decent denim pics for some reason.  

[Bobbo]

Nice mate. Especially like the puckering on the coinpocket. 

[heavydoom]

three four months of regular wear and 3/4 washes and there won't be any more fluff

 thanks!  

[volvo240thebest]

wee fun update for you fine gents..

copped a raw denim baby carrier, as you can see I am quite chuffed with it

daughter's mullet game fierce, thought this forum needed some mullet photos since oomskolop changed his haircut

spending the weekend between Austria and Germany with these fine fellows, my brothers!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So cute!

 

Damn, this TCB contests has really produced some awesome fades and so many nice pictures! Crazy how fast the time went by already.

[Max Power]

Awesome thread, great updates!

[Bobbo]

Haha, wish I could + rep you for a week for your "brothers shot".

[Maynard Friedman]

Volvo's post = entertaining genius. Bravo!

[volvo240thebest]

Maynardo, you're SO welcome as the Americans say!

[Maynard Friedman]

I would have been happy with a simple prego!

[volvo240thebest]

couple more pics from the road for you gentlemen...

finally managed to get a really good beard characteristic, Inoue should be delighted now!

sans ball cap fit pic

dude in the audience took a fit pic of the tcb's, failed to represent the amazing colour variation though, as other have already mentioned these jeans are quite hard to photograph

this for Maynard, autobahn gas stations in Germany sell all sort of things. thought this ribbed mini dildo with finger hole was mad value for the money. a must have in any discerning gentleman's EDC.

yours truly cooking coniglio alla Ligure for some nice German guys who provided hospitality on a day off, they had an amazing fully equipped professional kitchen, cooking for 10 has never been so easy

I think Volvo is moonlighting as a graphic artist or advertising creative with those last posts.

Could someone remind me when this contest finishes please? Not that I want it to end, best thread on Sufu.

[aho]

I believe we end February or March? Can't believe how fast time flew by but I do think the fades on here are among the best and I'm having a great time just following everyone's posts!

[volvo240thebest]

The contest is 18 month we started oct 1st well finish March 31st 2016

[Bobbo]

Damn, just 3,5 months left, time is flying by. Don't have much to add to this joyride at the moment but here's a little something something.

 

A couple of weeks ago I went to see Vintage Trouble in Stockholm. I saw them perform on a the smallest stage on a festival a few years ago and got my mind blown, great musicians and tons of energy in their performance. The guitarist Nalle Colt is from Sweden but the rest of the band is american and have their base in San Francisco. I was very happy to see them live again. 

 

 

I've also nailed a new job and celebrated my own success with a bottle of Lagavulin.

 

 

Any of you boys reading fantasy stuff? Two years ago a mate recommended The Kingkiller Chronicle series by Patrick Rothfuss. I rarely read fantasy but damn, I didn't do anything but read until I finished the first two books, they're a great read that pulls you in to a different and well thought out world. When I had finished the first two the waiting begun for the final part of the trilogy and I'm still waiting...Thankfully he released The slow regard of silent things this year about one of the mysterious supporting characters to enjoy.

 

 

Currently taking it easy with my dads record collection.

Congratulations on the new job Bobbo! Mmm, Lagavulin...

[volvo240thebest]

congrats mate for the new job! Lagavullin is great although a bit too turfey for every day's use haha! I am partial to Macallans 12 yrs, Barney Panofsky's whisky of choice. after reading Barney's version it has become Volvo's whisky of choice as well and we never looked back haha!

[Frost]

Did you just reference Barney's Version? Ha, I must be dreaming... Good taste as always, volvo!

[Bobbo]

Thank you guys! And I'm all for more whiskey input. Never tried Macallans, will give it a go when I've moved down to Volvo City.

[aho]

^Congrats on the new job! I'll have an update on my pair this week

[volvo240thebest]

yeah Frost Barney's version of course!

Bobbo if you want give Macallans a go don't waste time with anything lesser than 12 yrs!

Went to Bensonhurst to visit the great Mike Perfetto. He's been operating Designs By Michael Angelo since 1976, illegally from '76 until '97 when the ban on tattooing in New York City was finally lifted. First come, first serve. Put your name on the list and be there when called. It was a true honor.

 

 

Sums up how I feel about the last 15 months and this journey we've been on. Thank you.

 

[aho]

Awesome updates, living the life! This denim is really something else...one could easily confuse it for real vintage!

[Jared_Lee]

Words can't express how beautiful this denim looks to me.
