Word of Mouth - The Crust & Fades Contest

[srudy]

Took a little vacation to Mexico and tried to wear them as much as possible even though it pushed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. But so dang glad to be home, the smog was really bad, my wife got sick, plus I was mugged by our “taxi driver”. Ugh. I sometimes forget how lovely where I live is, good clean air, good nature and nice people. 
Some highlights though were the whales, both humpbacks and orcas, dolphins, tasty food, good weather, nice place to stay with great sunsets, beautiful dancing, nightly fireworks and really good margaritas!

It’s not Mexico, but Hove was sunny today.

Damn @srudy that sounds like a real up and down sort of trip. Glad you all are okay. Getting back home is always the best to me now. I’ve never been to coastal MX but have been to a few interior cities a couple of times and I’ve never eaten better in my life, anywhere in the world. A few meals in Italy have come close perhaps, but only close.

@ATWM my jeans already have stories to tell 😭😳😊

glad to be back home

Thanks. She’s our first dog, 20 months old now. Full size, and acting like a disobedient adolescent recently, hence the lead. But, overall she’s a very sweet girl.

First necessary repairs, this will have to do until I can get a better seam reinforcement. But better to get it early.  Simone definitely uses Warehouse or TCB sorts of threads and not Freewheelers threads haha. 
But I may have to start washing these earlier than I’d hoped.

It's this time of the year again. Carnival. Or like they call it here "Fastnacht".

So we visited a small procession in a nearby village.

Pocket bags are fading even faster than the denim itself!

[Broark]

Been lacking on updates, but I snapped a couple of photos this weekend.
Enjoying the jeans a lot so far, just not getting much sleep these days.

@julian-wolf feel free to slow down for the rest of us 😂

She's beautiful.

We have the same, Fox Red Lab girl - ours is 9 years old, soon to be 10, and still acting and looking like a cheeky puppy, long may that continue!!

Thanks. 
She’s a great dog. Lovely temperament, very well behaved usually. Just over the top when it comes to excitement for other people and dogs. She’s been good at training, but these two habits are hard to shake. 
it’s good to hear that yours still has the lovely character when she’s older. It’s great. 
Since getting her we’ve seen loads of Fox-Reds everywhere. Turns out, we weren’t that original when we picked her!

^^ it's a marathon not a sprint gents 😉... actually I think that's what I keep saying to reassure myself after seeing everyone's jeans progressing very nicely

@julian-wolf @Broark looking good!

It is…and this is one of my favorite words…

it is, and this is all it is.

it is

Pants.

It’s a mini relay… with just 2 legs.

Despite my earlier, it's sprint night right now... 

[Jared_Lee]

Nothing much to show on my end. These are nights and weekends only so not much heavy wear. I really like the fit and fabric though. The way I oversized them has left me with a lot of room in the hip and seat making for very comfortable cycle commuting, but being a true '50s cut they are still pretty straight through the hip which I like.

 

I'm going longer between washes right now because of the light wear. I haven't washed at all since the start and likely won't until late March or April. We'll see how that changes as the weather warms up and it gets into motorcycle season.

…& After

I love seeing everyone's updates! I've been lagging on posting an update on these but today was a nice day and I attached some photos. I've been wearing them pretty consistently since the start date. Not only are the jeans flattering; they're super comfortable! Probably my most comofrtable pair honestly. I always have found that achieving both hasn't been the easiest but I am loving this fit from Simone. I love the weight of them as well, especially heading into an unforgiving Texan summer. They're quite breathable and shouldn't be a pain as I power through the Texas sun.

My only regret is that I wish that I had asked for a shorter inseam; I'd prefer either no cuff or a small one but that's my own fault. The cuff works fine though. Loving all the details such as the hidden selvedge IDs in the belt loop, the rivets, and all in all just the fabric itself. No washes yet.

I don’t know what wash number this was (perhaps 5 or 6) but couldn’t resist a few shots in the breezy back garden seeing as it’s so spring-like out today.

Varying light conditions but tried to capture the colour as realistically as I could, the real colour lies somewhere between the light and dark ones ha.

I love these jeans.

So, did everyone get a lil sneaky selvedge belt loop?

Mine is front left (when wearing)...

Nope. 

[Broark]

None on my pair either, but both pocket bags have selvedge IDs.

[frank]

I got two of them, one on the right and right back!

[ATWM]

I *think* the only unexpected detail (outside the model/size stamps) on my pair is that one of my twill pocket bags is selvedge (which is a favorite detail on my FW 601xx). I could be missing something though.
