Nothing better than beat to hell vans and a beat up Jacket. Patiently waiting for my 40s to get thrashed!!

Hi everyone, 

little update from Paris, France.

Have a good day !

My daughter had a virtual spring singing recital today, and the theme was "dress like an adult" and she dressed up like me. I am still mentally 17 years old though. Maybe not her teacher's intention. She did want to wear the contest jeans, though, which I reclaimed after the recital.

A little motorcycle maintenance and new levers installed today. I got clutch and brake levers to match the new foot controls I installed last month. Bonus shot of the jeans. Lots of good looking pairs in this contest. I can't recall another contest with this many well-worn pairs at a little over six months on. Nicely done so far and keep the updates coming!

agreeing with @Jared_Lee - mad-core level of fading from contestants at this point... 

another wash and thus another mild & milquetoast contribution from me ...

one observation: enjoying how the fold over of fabric in the backpocket is making fade line separate to the sewing...

Since there'd been a couple of hot weeks I'd started thinking the time had come to put the jeans in summer hibernation. Now it's cooled off again so I'm back in the saddle.

[el padre 1,205]

@CSL they're looking great!

have all but given up wearing my pair because i find the fit so difficult for me. popping in to say i’m gonna leave mine outside for a while and see what sort of effect the sun has on them. everyone’s jeans are looking beautiful, cheers! 

[Spiraltoy 2,850]

Some great lookin jeans on this page, especially yours @Yot! I’ve started wearing mine now after a successful men’s of the crotch. They’re really starting to pop.

@LazyS Are those vintage Airwalks??

[JRendon02 926]

Getting close to having to reinforce the crotch area. 
 

should I just add some color matches thread to reinforce, should I add a patch to strengthen that whole area, or something else?

[srudy 1,604]

@diggersreally nice shade of blue and great subtle fades

Happy Monday one and all.  - Loads of nice updates  and good denim ( and on this page @Yot and @diggers I can hardly believe they're even the same jeans as mine.

@Bartleby :Hawaiian shirt season at last here 

[Chris T 844]

77 and a 3/4 year old (small) progress update.

I added day one photos  - which look needed to show there's really been more evolution than there might appear at first sight....

Plenty time to 2022......

not sure just how much searing sun you get @roomtemplacroix but did you notice anything yet - (or are they there for the summer?)
