Happy jeans: TCBxSufu S40s WW2 contest thread

[Darren Barbera 627]

Hi all at least five washes worn regular every week day slowly fading closer to that vintage light blue white

Little update on the progress. Have not really been wearing these lately as it has been too warm for jeans for a couple of months.

Jeans are back from repairs. Recently took a trip to San Miguel de Allende. A beautiful little historic mountain town in the middle of Mexico. It was originally developed as a silver mining town, then the economy was primarily driven by a vertically integrated textile mill where they processed cotton from raw bales to woven muslin. The mill was shuttered in 1991. The city moves heavily on tourism and service industries these days. Lovely people, beautiful architecture and tasty food. A delightful trip. Jeans are better than ever. Finally draping and falling like a well-worn pair should.

...and that, my friends, is how it is done

Jeans look great - but this post got my attention because I recognized those streets before I even read the text. SMA is a fantastic place.

Great post @Jared_Lee Proper contest update. 

[Uncle Karl 3,402]

Hi everyone!  It's been long time since I last renewed.  The balcony of my house has begun to rot as it ages.  I installed a roof on the balcony.

 

 

The daughters are also happy.

I also light the lantern and enjoy the atmosphere.

And no33 came back from a long repair trip.

The daughters are sleeping happily.

@Uncle Karl your jeans are beautiful and your cat daughters are very cute!

@Hopethisoneisnttaken arigato!The daughters are happy too!

Went to Tenby, South Wales

 

Played a lot of frisbee with the boys (plus bonus Evisu reference)

Eat good pizza

Saw a cool VW

 

And lots more fun beachy stuff too.

Car broke down on the way (leaking slave cylinder). Clutch went completely- not fun on a dual carriageway with the family. The roadside recovery firm dropped it at a garage for repairs that was an absolute bugger to get to. As a result here’s a soggy fit pic of me, setting out from our caravan on the perilous journey to retrieve the old banger

Great updates! Sorry to hear about the car troubles, @unders. I recently had to take my Royal Enfield in for an engine fault, but thankfully it was under warranty and turned out to be nothing. In the meantime, I got some seat time on a Bonneville T120. A great change of pace. I love the cats, @Uncle Karl! I miss mine dearly. I may be ready to get another next summer. For now, I will enjoy the pics of yours.

[unders 5,366]

Glad to hear the work didn’t run up a bill @Jared_Lee. I bet a Bonnie was not a bad run-about. 
Always loved classic bikes (mainly from  watching dodgy movies in my youth - Werewolves on Wheels, Psychomania, etc) but never had the courage to ride, I wouldn’t trust myself to not fall off!

Weather has cooled off enough for me to start wearing jeans again. Here’s a comparison against a fresh selvedge shirt:

Not much action the last couple of months due to actual summer temps here in Sweden. Thought I’d give you guys an update anyhow.

[kameisenpai 471]

16年ぶりに新車を購入したので、京都に車で行きました。目的は、世界遺産でもある東寺で開催される骨董市場です。

招き猫と招き猫の神福が好きです。

 

不思議な古い道具。骨董品市場には値札はありません。価格を尋ねる勇気が必要です！

 

鬼サインは腹痛薬の腹痛ツールです。

 

日本の軍服と道具。

 

 

京都は夏は暑い！現在、covid-19の規制はそれなりますが、観光客はまたいません。

 

うなぎを食べて熱を取り除きます。少しビール 

祇園の建仁寺に移転。大きくて美しいお寺です。風神雷神図（複製）をご覧ください。天井に双竜の姿。大きい！これは、創立800周年を記念して2002年に描かれましましました。

 

 

風神雷神

 

 

 

Yasaka Shrine is worshiped by Maiko and restaurants in Gion.

祇園

清水寺

産寧坂

 

 

It was hot and I ate a lot of popsicles.  The contrast between the sky and the shadow tells of the hot summer in Kyoto.

 

今！私のペア。コンテストは11ヶ月が経過しました。

この洗濯物は手洗いです。総洗浄回数は3回です。浴槽に水と石鹸を入れ、ジーンズを裏返しに洗います。皮脂が出やすいウエストベルトやポケットに注目！

 

裏返した後、裾を洗い、水で洗い流し、濡れたまま天日干しします。

 

I'm sorry I'm new to writing to sufu and I made a lot of mistakes.

ARIGATO

[el padre 1,175]

Been going easy on these over the summer 

 

The ass seam looks weird cos I took it apart and then hand stitched it back together with a bit less ass fabric. Sorry TCB, just took a notion one day and did it. They're still comfy, and I have no need to look at my own ass, so all is well I guess 

[Broark 15,923]

If anyone wants to finish out the contest with my pair (size 38) let me know, selling them for cheap!
Starting to fade but plenty of life left.

That's like those relay races in the Olympics. Make sure you practise the handover.

Well said.  Would prefer for them to go to someone here to finish out the contest before selling somewhere else.

Small Update.. 

[Jared_Lee 3,177]

A little prewash update.

 

[Hopethisoneisnttaken 1,454]

Moved yesterday. Old house needed some work and new House requires a fair bit of work as well, so the contest jeans are being put to the test once more.
