another wash in casa volvo as well. I actually washed  almost all my tcb jeans (except my newer pair of 60s which is still basically new).

Extra bonus pic of my stuffed peperoni, for no reason other than I am quite happy with how they look.

Here’s an update from me. Not sure how much more wear they’ll get as they’re starting to fall apart in some places. Also, a 29 is noticably harder to fit into- need to cut back on some beer. BEsides that, a couple photos of a sour beer symposium with the head brewer from fieldwork and a hike through some redwoods with half moon bay off in the distance. 

[volvo240thebest]

Those look awesome! Keep them alive for ever and ever and that kind of Ruedi style shit hahah!

[JDelage]

Impressive train tracks!

[Paul T]

Looking great. Lots of leg twist there, too.

[nycsurfer530]

The beginnings of my knee blowout.

Here's my latest situation with my 20s.  Trying to wear them more now that it's a bit warmer here.  

[volvo240thebest]

They look great suzie, you really did well on your first leg of wear!

Meanwhile on Instagram @yabuyoshi drop the bombs as well

 

[MJF9]

Looks like this chap's been jumping at the fence behind him to get that wear pattern

[volvo240thebest]

I love how the jeans look with that slightly longer hem and a break. Love how it looks on other and every time I try to achieve something similar it look odd on me.

What have you all been up to this weekend folks?

Looks like spring is finally arriving in Gothenburg for real.

 

On this pic I'm crossing the moat which circles around the inner part of Gothenburg. Way back there were bastions all around. If I recall correctly what we cann Gothenburg today was built in the early 15th century with help from the Dutch. On the right side of the picture is Stora Teatern, one of the cities theaters.

One of my favorite spots in the city is Kafé Höganord, a combined café which has great coffee, soups and Danish smörrebröd, but also a great record store. It's located in a cozy courtyard. Definitely worth a stop if you're in town. 

Got some new Lightnin' Hopkins, Viagra Boys and Honungsvägen with me this time around.

Bonus beer and doggie shots.

everyone is looking really good, i promised a bigger update a while ago but i'm hugely busy with school. My jeans are coming along nicely. i had a crotch blowout right near the seam, i fixed it up nice and good but then another hole started to open up. Bad timing i wish i could've fixed them both at the same time. wearing about 4 times a week they're my favourite jeans right now and pretty much the only ones that fit my thighs now.

[volvo240thebest]

not much jeans update for you guys, at this stage I've lost 14 kilos of weight since what I was one year ago at the beginning of the contest recap. For a while I lost interest in the jeans tbh, just because they don't fit well anymore. I used to sag them under my belly, now I have a much lesser belly and they became a bit short too.

Anyway I am still wearing them and will keep at it till the end, of course, cinch is now put on good use.

I've been away on the road for a few gigs with my mad friend Mike who occasionally guests on my updates haha.
thursday we were in Catania, Sicily. I didn't manage to take many pics because the weather was quite miserable, while in the rest of the country it was glorious sunshine.. anyhoo here's a couple:

Vincenzo Bellini's statue in the middle of the typical Sicilian urban decay..

my mate Mike mad urban street style steeze feat. the Diego Armando Maradona tee that make him always very popular when in Italy...


Catania's highlight, streetfood from Bar Savia, well known for their arancini

on your left, arancino, on your right panzerotto alla catanese, stuffed with depp fried eggplant tomato and mozzarella. Arancini come in many different variations, mine was with pistachio cream

The combo provided a quite memorable heartburn.
The following day we flew back to Milan and moved to Desenzano in the Garda lake area, where we played at a private event.
Glorious weather from the flight window

one last pic of my glasses before I decided to seat on them and brake the pins : (

Beautiful Garda lake

Next we moved to Verona, where we had the time to wander around the bit

first time I see the Arena on a normal day where there's no opera. quite staggering to believe the place can stuck up to almost 20k people..

tghe curse of using a manual camera, I have only out of focus pics of myself..

[Maynard Friedman]

Congratulations on the weight loss Volvo, I assume it was the running and a bit of healthy eating that did it? I love arancini and fortunately there are quite a few decent Italian delis within walking distance of my villa to satisfy my rice ball lust!

Are you going to have to replace all your jeans with new, smaller pairs?

[volvo240thebest]

thanks, running and gym and no alcohool everyday, I did work hard for the last 5/6 months. I still want to loose a few more kilos. I am currently not running tho, unfortunately I hurt my knee while trying to my beat my world record, which I've did (I ran 10 km in 60 min haha!). The tcb 60s I have still fit well on a 36, the 50s and 20s feel huge. Unfortunately also the Sda I have bought only a couple months ago feel huge. the last two kilos made a big difference somewhat. I don't want to replace my jeans, I hate to sell my ongoing projects. Probably I just wait until I get fatter again haha. I am mostly rotating the 20s with the Re Lookus and a pair of Bob Dong jeans that were way too slim at the beginning and now fit great. I am itching to get a pair of wide leg cut jeans in the correct size though..

[Maynard Friedman]

What size are you these days? I may be able to help...

[volvo240thebest]

34, I'd be probably 33 on vanity sized jeans.

[Maynard Friedman]

Get rid of a couple more kilos and squeeze yourself into a 32 - then we can talk 

Hats off to you though, you look the picture of health and proof that the Mediterranean diet is no myth!

Seen my natural inclination for addictions I'd hate to try a pair and discover that I like them, so as a precautionary measure I'd better stay away from CSF hahaha!
