Hello sleepy thread!

Hello sailor! Enjoying a spot of shore leave?

[nycsurfer530]

No real denim photos, although I’m due for another wash. Thanksgiving here in SF. My parents flew out to visit so I took them to a couple of my favorite hiking spots as well as a couple wineries, Peju and Darioush, where the fall colors were fantastic.

Shit quality but here's a few snaps after I gave them the second wash this weekend. Will probably be less wear time for a while now that the cold is creeping in.

More denim- not sure how much longer they’ll last. . . 

Easily one of my favorite pairs I’ve owned.

Damn I have some catching up to do

[JDelage]

The puckering is insane on those!

[julian-wolf]

Those photos remind me how much I'd like to have him be the one to hem every pair of my jeans…

[Bobbo]

Damn! They look great. You'd better slow down, we're barely half way through, haha.

Definitely washed frequently, but totally worn hard as nycsurfer could likely attest. As much as I wash my pair, those are still super crocked which requires activity/abrasion. I'm finding that I lose little indigo now, and since I'm not wearing as hard as nycsurfer, it's all settling at the same even deep blue. Will have to get some pictures up when I have good light

FWIW I bike ~10 miles a day in my jeans for my work commute.

I see why this pair has different fade patterns compared to your last pairs, as far as I can remember...

another wash down the line

 

telling myself

three months of no-wear summer meaning scurrilously far behind

patience patience patience

[perhaps some will only have a bag of loose threads left…]

No, got them for a song on taobao. Love them, super comfy and look great with all wide pants. Surnamed by the wife "the jester mocs".

Some bits and pieces from the last few days:

I went to an exhibition that the Swedish musician Hurula had this weekend. Painted on top of pages from the bible.

Anyone of you seen Ruben Östlunds film The Square? The museum scenes are shot in Gothenburg and funny enough we now have our own square at my local square (there's a pun waiting with your name on it Maynard!).

Later that night I went over to my friend Olof of www.goteborgmanufaktur.se to celebrate his birthday and play a good game of Couronne. 

 

Also went to see Pale Honey, an up and coming trio from Gothenburg.

It was real good but they were blown away by The Exorcist GBG, a kinda instrumental electronic punk band. Did not see the wicked punk-like tunes coming at all. Moshpits and everything. Possibly the best show I've seen all year except Daniel Norgren.
