I see it more as more of a battle than a mere contest. #WomBat

Excited to be officially locked in with the 611 and ready to live the cinch back life for the first time. To celebrate our pizza pants contest, here's a BBQ rib + pesto pizza I made recently in my Ooni oven. Acquired the oven over the Summer and this was one of the best ones yet  🍕 🍕 🍕

Now, the long and boring wait begins. 

May it be filled with unnecessary purchases.

Or you could just wear and enjoy your current pairs of jeans, that's what l'm doing. Joy wearing, l highly recommend it!

Unless when you said ' unnecessary purchases', you meant nappies? 🤔

try cleaning no.1 and no.2 [not evisu code] from your favourite carpet or other soft furnishings (your bed...)...

nappies are the most crucial purchase...

but yes; now is the time to find the right jkt [or 3] for the tux...

Is Simone designing the new patch?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yes, Simone is working together with a friend on a special patch design.

[space_cowboy]

Assuming it's too late to get in on this (looks like all the spots were filled regardless). Will be watching with interest either way!

I'm at a point where I'd love to break in a new pair (from storage), but I really don't need to. It's a good exercise in staying with everything currently in my closet. My OA's are feeling frustratingly slow right now! It's a little challenge to see just how good they can get in the last 3 months or whatnot. 

[Broark]

@AlientoyWorkmachine totally agree as I'm in the same spot, which OAs are you wearing again?
I've been focusing on my WWII pair and they're finally starting to fade a bit, should look good by the time this contest starts.

[AlientoyWorkmachine]

I'm mostly wearing a pair of 01's (4-5 days a week, while other days are in a random assortment of more worn things). They're fading a little bit, but honestly probably don't have more than 4-5 months total wear yet. But I hope they're in a good place by the time we get going.

My WW2 pair, and my Holk (02 cut) are still in the plastic bags! 

[MJF9]

I've worn a different pair every day this week... and that's the recent pattern... will be seeing if I can focus efforts a bit more!!

[reallypeacedoff]

Because @beautiful_FrEaK has decided not to buy any new jeans, I decided to pick up the slack. I got myself some S710XX-BK this weekend...Nice to have some proper black denim in rotation.

[dudewuttheheck]

I used to be unable to stick to one pair of jeans for any extended period of time. However, I've worn my LB40s 5-6 days per week since I received them in January. The timing is actually pretty nice as I'll be putting them to the side at the one year mark for the contest. I'm feeling confident that I can be just as disciplined for the contest pair which I'm excited about because I've never faded a pair for 18 months straight. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Spoiler alert!

[MJF9]

^ very tasty eh 😋

[Broark]

Looks great! 👏

[Alec Leamas]

Love that!!! Will be proud to wear that for 18 months and beyond!

Will have to work out how best to preserve it against the stresses of washing and drying and the detergents etc

(anyone got any good tips on that I'd be all ears!)

“Muoviti cazzo!!” 😄

Now that’s a sick design!

I find that preserving the leather patch depends on a couple things: leather used, stamped branding vs paint / ink branding.

Obenauf’s (what I’ve used before) or some other leather preservative can work well with stamped patches (ie: iron heart), but can smear patches that are painted/inked. Keep in mind, a leather preservative will change the color of the leather.

My advice - embrace the aging of the patch as that goes with the territory and don’t boil the patch and turn it into jerky… boiling water is the worst enemy to leather patches, IMO.

[fabes]

That’s a fun patch!

I’m enjoying the passion and enthusiasm Simone puts into his work. 

[reallypeacedoff]

Excellent patch!

[fabes]

Also, as someone that worked in the pizza industry for way too long, I relate to that kid on the patch on a soul level.  

[AlientoyWorkmachine]

Ha, I also spent too long in one period of my life delivering pies. This pair will be personal.
