皆さんこんにちは！ほとんどの日本人は4連休の3日目です。私は働いています...ははは

 

日本の高知でも朝晩は急激に寒くなっています。ジーンズを育てるのに最適な季節です。

先週末、私の家族や友人は私の庭でバーベキューをしました。たき火は涼しい温度で非常に快適でした。（髪のスタイリング剤の香りがとても良かったから。ははは）

 

日本では「食欲の秋」と呼ばれ、秋の醍醐味は、旬の食材が多く、とても食欲をそそる食事の楽しさだそうです。秋の味に誘われて食べすぎてしまいました…（怖くてスケールが出ないんですけど）

そして、2回目の洗濯をしました。

部屋に差し込む朝日は気持ちいい。

Pfiouuuuuu what wonderful pictures and fitpic people. I've finally checked everypost since page 50. I've been busy with my studies for the last 3 months and wasn't really able to participate. Everything changes now that I'm on vacation. On receiving the TCB 40s' (size 31, same as my previous 50), it was hella tight but I was able to button it up. Now that i've lost the excess weight after drinking RedBulls and eating Cliff bars for 3 months straight, it fits like a charm.

I haven't worn it yet. I have decided that i'll be participating to the Indigo invitationnal at the same time as this contest. I must wait the first of october to finally enjoy TCB goodness.

Anyways, in hoping that I don't disgress the how so tight rules of the Indigo invitationnal by wearing the jeans for 5 mn. I present you the fit of my #51.

sorry for the double post but i decided to take a few more photos outside

[Foxy2]

Very nice everyone!

[volvo240thebest]

I've barely put a dent on them so far. I' getting button fly fades, which I always like and usually don't get, the mega rise helps apparently.
I'll spare you a crotch pic for now haha!
Anyway I'll just stick with Hajime's reccomendation and fade these jeans italian way, catenaccio style .
I haven't missed a single day so far, just always light wear and I don't want to use them now for yard work. I also really like the blue, and differently from my customs I will wait to wash, just because I like them the way they are. I'll hold on until they either smell or look filthy

I'm saving the WW2 jacket for now and use the seaman jumper. I find that this jacket only works for me a couple months per year max. It's either too hot or too cold for it most of the time.

Hot soak number 3 yesterday. I know most are going to wear a lot longer without washing. Some variations in color are showing. Good muffin fold going.

 

 

 

[tigerstrom]

In still debating whether I'm going to wash them once a month as I usually do or maybe wait 2 or 3 months before the first wash. I agree with @volvo240thebest that the color on the jeans is beautiful right now.

[chicote]

I’ve already washed 3 times... 

[bartlebyyphonics]

be not afeared to wash wash wash!

I've been pushed off the jawns with a return of humid shorts weather and such... [so lagging behind you top posting blaggards, and a long way from getting near water...]

but to repeat... tcb fabric and washing are good friends, partners, even... 

[+ @diggers - enjoying very much the black vans with no hem: have been thinking that option through: great to see it in action!]

Dramatic filter, fit update. Not many signs of evo.

Today marks the first day I wore the 40s to a walk with my dog. This usually marks for me the day I stop babying a new pair of jeans, however this time it was the hot weather that prevented me from wearing jeans to our walk. So anyways today the weather finally was nice enough for wearing jeans outside. Luckily enough my dogs favorite ball is wrecked beyond recognition so it can fit the tiny back pockets. 

p.s - I did NOT do a river wash

Welcome to the lake.

[Dan_F]

After about a week of being indecisive, I decided to get my jeans hemmed. I’d rather not worry about the eventual tearing. I’m really happy with these jeans.

was trying to look cool and intrepid, but realised if I didn't watch my feet I'd probably end up doing my ankle in

[chicote]

Gonna put the jeans in for their fourth wash tomorrow night, I really like the fit after wash. I have to get up and down a ton for my job so they get dirty and stretched out within a few days... oh well.

I've never owned a cat but this quilt I found a couple months back really helps to fill the void!

[mandel9000]

Best quilt ever, @chicote! Great fits and progress, everyone. I've worn the jeans every day except for last Sunday, when I never managed to get out of my sweatpants. I see some more fadez come in now, which is nice. I rarely carry anything in the pockets for long, but I can just about make out the contours of the dog clicker (!) in the coin pocket. The story of this summer/autumn, I guess. 

Previously promised photos still to come, hopefully this weekend.

still amazed by the waist stretch. So crazy. I could maybe have gotten a 32 but I think they'd be too big once worn for a while. Still just in one wash state from TCB.

Took em for a spin after work! I’ve had to repair a hole on this jacket for a while now, but sewing sessions are a thing of the past with my 11 month old in tow.
