Denime 66xx World Tour

[Hendsch]

Here is the fit. Pretty much my ideal fit!

As for where I'm gonna take these things.... I'm currently in Portland Oregon, but will be moving down to LA in the middle of July. I'm planning a few hiking/camping trips as a last goodbye to Oregon, so these things should get a proper beating deep in the Oregon Cascades. After that, they will be road tripping for about a week while my Wife and 2 dogs pack up our lives and move everything down south. 

 

Hope you all enjoy the ride!

[tigerstrom]

Great fit!

[Bobbo]

A very good fit indeed. You'd better score yourself a pair down the line.

[Hendsch]

Already in the process Bobbo 

[chicote]

Wow, they fit so well! Especially now that it looks like the top block has stretched out a bit more. Hope you enjoy em buddy, I'm looking forward to seeing what you get up to this month!

[greathoudini]

Really great fit!

[Hendsch]

@Chicote they took a bit to relax, but after wearing them last night they settled right in. Super stoked on these things and I'll be sad to send them off to Norway. 

 

Now to convince my wife I need another pair of denim 

[Ciabatta]

They look good on you. I think 60's inspired cuts are my favorite.

[mandel9000]

Super fit, @Hendsch!

[louisbosco]

oh sweet. sounds like a lot planned up for the coming months. also the fit look great with the cuffs

[Hendsch]

Thanks all! I sure am loving this fit and I got the OK from my wife to go ahead and grab a pair...

[Hendsch]

Welp, it looks like my work might be sending me to Boston next week, so my leg will probably have two cross country trips 

 

I'll make sure to document my time while I'm there.

[Foxy2]

Thanks all! I sure am loving this fit and I got the OK from my wife to go ahead and grab a pair...

An understanding wife!

And a good purpose for tours like these...

[mandel9000]

Sounds like you guys are on a tight leash! 

Lucky for me I'm a woman and I am independent, I make my own money so don't tell me how to spend it (in the immortal words of Salt'N'Pepa).

 

Looking forward to my turn, and to see more of yours, @Hendsch!

I love this Mandel ^

[Hendsch]

Ha! We do have our own money, we just moderate each other's spending habits. With the move to LA I probably shouldn't buy a new pair of denim.... But I still will 😜

[mandel9000]

Yeah! My joke aside though, prudent spending is never ever a bad thing!

(I recently spent a year and a half not buying anything except socks and underwear but that's another story. Suffice to say it was an eye-opener.)

[Hendsch]

Spending is not my strong suit, so a clear voice of reason is MUCH appreciated!

 

Anyway, did a mundane little dog walk this morning, and had the wife take some snaps (payback for all the times I took photos of her outfits)

 

fit with a uncooperative dog named Cody: 

Elbows on my TCB are starting to show a bit of color.

The wife having some fun while Charlie trys to find something to bark at 

[Foxy2]

Nice looks - on both of you!

[SLAB]

that's a really great fit! Love the Boston terrier as well; we'll get another Boston when we are ready for it (lost ours last year)

[Hendsch]

Thank's Slab. Sorry to hear about your Boston They are great dogs! 

[Hendsch]

Update from the last 2 days: 

 

Spent Friday night working an event for work. I'm an Operations Manager for a tech company, so sometimes I have to promote our product to the masses. Anyway, here is myself and a few of the people who work for me.

Saturday I spent the day with my wife and our adventure dog (the Boston hates most people and dogs, so he sat this one out) We went for a hike above the city in Forest Park, a HUGE wooded open space pretty much in the heart of the city.

Topped it all off with a Beer in a park by our house, and all and all it was a great day.

The marbling is starting to really show on these things! 

Next week I'm off to Vegas (Boston got canceled) for work and it looks like I'll be there at least 1 day out of the week for the next 3 weeks.... Gonna be really hard to wear these things in the Vegas heat, but I'll endure

Got another update! 

 

I flew into Vegas yesterday for work, and then promptly left that night. Basically only did airport>office>airport but I took a few snaps of from the plane, and inside both airports.

 

Started out the day sleeping through my alarm, so I had to scramble to make it to the airport on time (not fun) 

 

This is PDX, it used to have a really famous carpet, but now it's all gone.

Next up, I got to spend 2 hours on the tarmac because the engine died on the plane... Forced me to push back 2 meetings, and some time to snap a pic of the Denime's 

Up in the air I got a few snaps of Mount Hood (Sorry for the B&W, plane windows have a way of destorting color)

And a shot over the desert

And lastly a quick shot of the pants.

I'll be back in Vegas next week, but this time I'm gonna stay, so I'll make that update a bit more exciting!

[Hendsch]

Got another update! Spent the 4th of July deep in the Oregon Cascades and gave the Denime's a proper beating.

 

Started the day with a long 8-mile drive in on mostly dirt roads:

Mount Hood peaking out in the distance: 

Right before the 2 mile hike in. I choose a lake with no trails to it so we could have the place to ourselves, what I did not plan for was the 1/2 mile of Rodedendrine bushes that we had to bushwack through.

Cottonwood Meadow Lake:

[Hendsch]

This trip was also an experiment with our Boston Terrier. He has a ton of anxiety issues so this was the first time he has ever gone camping... He did all right:

Had to have a time out to calm down and left the tent like this:

Adventure dog Cody, who is no stranger to camping:

Dinner time:

Bunch of aging punks:

Next up is a flight back to Vegas for 2 days... My life is pretty crazy these days.

[spitfiredealer]

that looks a amazing place to camp in!!

[Hendsch]

It sure was! Our original plan fell through, so I pointed to a lake on the map and that's what we ended up with!

[Hendsch]

I'm currently in Vegas working, but thought I'd give another update:

Fades coming along nicely, although a bit darker IRL.

Downtown Vegas is much more my cup of tea than the strip is: 

I'll be back here next week, then I should probably start the process of getting these off to Mandel!

[Hendsch]

Alright, looks like I have a few more days left on my leg before I ship off the Denime's to Mandel. I'm going to give them a good washing tonight then get some pics up of their progress tomorrow.

[Hendsch]

Alright here they are after their final wash on my leg, that last wash really made them pop!

Some hints of combs poping through:

Favourite detail are the fades coming off of the pockets:

I've had great fun with these and once everything settles down with work and the move to LA, I'll grab a pair for myself. I'm in the depths of packing up my house, but I plan on shipping these out tomorrow, have fun with them Mandel!
