Well, maybe I'll just retire and wear jeans then 

Keep go on your great work Gav

Perhaps a new approach is needed to keep the raw denim spirit alive

Holy hell Nils, what do you do in your jeans ! Incredible pictures mate, loved the macro's.

[louisbosco]

the macros are pretty sick. though some shots of the leather bring out a little trypophobia in me with the odd shape circles...

I spent the weekend in my contest pair after not wearing them in a while. And as I got my thigh tattooed I also got a huge blood/ink stain on them. Wabisabi I guess. The rest of the weekend was quiet and good times outside.

Gave my S0500 another wash. At about 16 months and 9 washes. They're starting to really fall apart now haha, a lot of small fraying/holes starting

Would be so awesome Dingo

And are your old jeans still alive?

Edited February 11, 2017 by swiss-jeansfreak

Hi Rudi, I'm still alive, yes - thanks for asking. I've had some rough times in the last months/years, but I'm on a good path right now.

Of course I still own all my pairs, they're dear friends to me. Sadly I can't wear them at the moment, since I gained a little too much weight, but I'm working on that, too...

[d-rew12]

Friend took a pic at the beach. Still going strong!

Awesome news. 

Your Holy Grail items deserve an eternal life for sure. 

And hopefully you can fit back in to them. 

Otherwise you always know a place where you can give them an eternal life as well

Things are moving along with my chambray shirt/brand project after going to Sendai. Couldn't take photos of the meetings/process, but I did do some sightseeing while there.

The bay with the islands is Matsushima; there are almost 200 small islands here, and almost every one is covered in pine trees. There's also Zuigan-ji, a 400-year-old Rinzai sect Buddhist temple there:

A 700-year-old cedar tree:

And of course, Sendai itself:

Somet 008- Lightweight division. Basically Finished...3-4 soaks...

[louisbosco]

this is probably my last trip in the dwc jeans for this contest. sadly, i don't think i have pictured or taken a photo in them during the duration. flew to melbourne for 5 days, then drove to adelaide and then sydney for about a day each. i think i covered 3500kms in total, with the adelaide - sydney leg being the longest at 1400kms in 14 hours or so..

Melbourne's all about the cafes, the coffee, good food, rooftop bars, secret bars and everything "cool" within australia. there's really good cafes with brilliant menus and good coffee/roasters. i haven't been to melbourne in almost 8 years now, checked out the NGV, where the Viktor and Rolf exhibition was on and did most stuff around the city areas.

Adelaide. 700kms, 7 hours drive from melbourne. not too bad for a first ever visit. not too much to do on a first trip. relaxed mostly around the main city shopping strip. really loved the place. somewhat similar to perth but with more stuff. there's also cool little bars and of course RHD.
