Home renovation makes small progress. New floor is in.

 

And the jeans are dry now. 

[Bobbo]

Love me some button fades!

[MJF9]

@beautiful_FrEaK ^ here here plus nice roping too... that crazy crinkly denim is looking good...

[maharu]

Freshly washed with dirty boots! 

[Bobbo]

^ Looks like they're coming on nicely. 

But we need more foodporn in this contest! 

[tigerstrom]

Damn @maharu they look so good!

 I will send in my pair to göteborg manufaktur for hemming. I'm sad to see the roping go but the inseam is far too long for me I'm afraid.

Finally getting some serious leg twist

Top stuff gents... coming along nicely... super looking denim

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I'm on way less wear than you guys although I really enjoy wearing them. 

No jeans, but my team and me got a brand new bureau 

We'll probably move next week when everything is installed. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Been to the zkm in karlsruhe yesterday, the exhibit “writing the history of the future“ is still on and is free. Just a “few“ impressions.

Thanks_M8, cool post!

edit  posts like yours, Tilmann’s beautiful new floor, Kyoto with dudewuttheheck, Moscow and Scotland with foxy2, globetrotting with mikecch and the many others of countries, cities and people’s way of life keep me returning to this site every bit as much as the denim. Keep em coming, guys!

Forgot to turn them inside out for the wash. Well, at least it's super crinkly now.

[Bobbo]

Great post @Thanks_M8 Some very nice pieces. I second Lance's statement, it's posts like these during a contest/tour that keeps the forum going.

And damn, your jeans are coming along nicely.

[Double 0 Soul]

Agreed, i appreciate that this place is a 'denim forum' but the vast majority of denim discussion has already been deliberated to the nth degree, i/we can't expect new  members to read an entire forum before posting but a lot of the subject matter does prompt much eye rolling from the forum-geriatrics, it's only life away from denim that offers the chance at previously unvisited musings.

 

I always wash my work jeans outside-out on a 60° (no spin cycle, line dry) it looks like yours have been spun and/or left in the machine.

The surface of my work jeans is impregnated with fine sawdust so if i turn them inside-out the wash lifts the (now) wet creamy sawdust away from the surface but it gets trapped inside the leg tubes and cant be rinsed away so settles back on the surface which requires a second rinse cycle to remove the residue..when really all they need is an outside-out wash.
