FreeCharlesManson 502 Posted May 24, 2018 i've moved back to my parents house for the summer. they're doing renovation's right now so i'm literally living out of a suitcase in their basement. The whole situation has made creating outfits a pain so I've been on hiatus. Got a Job working as a groundskeeper for a local school division so i'll be wearing my 20's for that stuff, excited to see how that effects them 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cucoo 4,531 Posted May 25, 2018 I'm just wearing the same old stuff incl. 20s every day, nothing exciting happening. These do fade slower than the first batch don't they? I'm at 53 wear days now. Will do a second wash sometime soon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garden gnomes in space 3,849 Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) So I’ve shed a bit of gut fat because I went against the family tradition by cutting out red wine from my diet. So I’m cinching the cinch a bit more than I used to and noticed some interesting butt puckering going on. Will be cool to see where this goes. (Still can’t post bigger than 2mb from mobile, still have to do this absurd email and resize game...)

mandel9000 1,779 Posted May 27, 2018 Greetings! I've been really, really busy at work - and posting less means posting even less, if that makes any sense. I'll get my sh*t together! Since I last posted I've celebrated my birthday, run a relay race, attended a wedding in Lisbon, gone camping, and all I have pictures of is other people. No me, no jeans. But I'll be back with a real update soon. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spent the last couple days in Einbeck, beautiful village, where I had the chance to visit the PS Speicher Museum, a really impressive automotive history museum. Here's a couple pics, sadly no pics of the jeans themselves.

volvo240thebest 15,269 Posted June 2, 2018 Those white pocket tees by Bob Dong are great. I have 4, they feel bombproof and are standing the test of time and wear really well. Jeans are almost ready for wash no. 2 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nycsurfer530 19,258 Posted June 3, 2018 Update on the daddy fadez washing regiment. Despite all the washes (~8-10), loads of texture and some creases starting to show. Fit pics are the most accurate color. 22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

srudy 190 Posted June 3, 2018 I got a pic to upload!!!! Hooray! Here’s my latest suit for my manual labor job, a sample LVC triple pleat and my 20s. Fades are starting to show on the front pockets and butt mainly. 2 soaks, no washes. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bartlebyyphonics 3,008 Posted June 4, 2018 and what a suit it is @srudy!!! inspired by the unholy roping of @nycsurfer530 and the fact that being a desk warrior with over-size pants means no fades whatsoever... have decided to wash whenever and let the fabric do its bizz more tales from the washing line, with continued floral flair fare (going full hawaiian for the last week is only updateable fact of note...) 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbo 5,499 Posted June 4, 2018 Great updates all! It's been crazy hot in Gothenburg the last couple of days so the 20's have recieved some rest and mainly stolen the limelight during the evening shenanigans. My department and I went to a vineyard/spa called Ärsta vingård for a conference the other week. I had no clue that there even existed vineyards in Sweden. Let alone that there's 70 of them. I've also taken a trip to Växjö to visit a friend. We went to see Hanna Järver - one of Swedens new promising pop icons, took a walk in the woods and had fika at PM Bröd & Sovel that was crowned Swedens best café in 2018. It was alright. Other than that it's mostly been a time of hanging out at the sea and parks. Quick fit pic to keep this at least a little denim related! 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Topgearskin 98 Posted June 4, 2018 "Busy at work" here as well. Very little opportunity to wear the jeans as it's either been work or hot (for the UK). managed to get some wear in at the Red Rooster festival this weekend. Really enjoyed Pokey La Farge. Kids were more impressed with fussball table. Some nice rides courtesy of the VHRA it would appear kameisenpai is my spirit guide. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul T 1,822,922 Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Where did the spring go? I seem to have spent the last month on projects that still aren't finished. But I had a nice trip to see my dad in May for the old fella's birthday. My parents live in a town called Beverley, which is beautiful (see the ancient Minster, which I guess they started building around 1100 ad), kinda boring but boasts one of the country's greatest pubs, called Nellie's. I think it dates to the 1750s and still pretty much all original. Gas light. They have no trendy beer whatsoever; but do great bottles of Pale Ale, which I think I am consuming here. I hope during the course of this contest to get my own VOlvo back, @volvo240thebest. It's been in the shop for a year, work now finished but of course I've run out of £££. Hopefully will sort that by August! I've also been pursuing another restoration, of my own Jazzmaster. @erk posted his earlier. i bought mine rather a long time back, influenced by Tom Verlaine. They were incredibly cheap then, under £200. it had been resprayed in the 70s in a thick polyester paint, and I've always wanted to get a proper period paintjob. I dropped it off to the country's main specialist (having sold a leather jacket and three very good pairs of jeans incudling my 55 1955 LVC for the work) ... and it turns out it's quite a rare, ash-bodied model which would have come, not in white as I though, but in a see through blonde, and came out of the Fender factory in april 1963. I'd debated whether to get someone cheaper to do the job, but my man is the best in the world for blonde finishes, so it's turned out really well. Might have to sort out more stuff to sell in the meantime. Look out for an update when it's finished, around Christmas time I hope. Final pic is of a lovely bar in Doncaster train station... previously the 1st Class waiting room with excellent Victorian tiling. Then when I got home that evening, I cooked a salad pizza to remind the family they missed me. No real development on the pants... so I'll update those next time, Edited June 4, 2018 by Paul T 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MileHighEvertonian 1,179 Posted June 9, 2018 I'm still here! I've been totally occupied with wrapping up the academic year, conference travel, and moving into a house (after almost 20 years of apartments) at the beginning of May. My 20s and a tcb 30s hat in the usmc herringbone have served as my yard work, gardening, and home repairs uniform. I'll post a more robust update soon, but for now just a teaser. Cheers, all! 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbo 5,499 Posted June 10, 2018 Looking forward to the update mate! I'm finishing up a great week, reading the first book in Per Anders Fogelströms series City of my dreams, depicting Stockholm in 1860-1960. In the series we follow successive generations and their lives in the city. Don't know much about Fogelström except he was one of the major writers in modern Swedish literature, happy a friend of mine told me about the series, I really like it so far. A quick search says the series is available in english if you want a sneakpeak into Stockholms history. Earlier this week FKP Scorpio, one of the big music festival players in Europe, arranged a one day-festival in the middle of Gothenburg. Perfect weather and performances from The National, Future Islands, Warpaint, Cigarettes after sex and Good Harvest. It was a good Wednesday. And a little 20's love shots just because. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FreeCharlesManson 502 Posted June 10, 2018 I've been wearing my tcb's for a couple weeks doing grounds keeping work and other maintenance stuff for a local school division. I gave them a machine wash and left them outside to dry. they're soft with a lot of texture and a dry feel. A little peeved with how slow they're fading but that's the journey. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
