The Flat Head 3001 World Tour

[aho]

Thanks for the updates! I trust they treated you well...Suddenly craving some soondubu...

[dkatz]

If these could make it to New Jersey by the 28th of October, I'd be stoked to rep the East African leg of the tour...

Two caveats:

1. They wouldn't then be able to move to the next wearer until I'm next Stateside in mid-December (I don't trust shipping internationally from here, and it's made expensive).

2. This place is pretty hard on clothing - shit gets discolored by the dirt and exhaust pretty quickly, so they'd likely need a pretty serious washing when I was done with them - can they stand up to that?

edit: this is raaaaad!:

those macros shot were incredible

6 weeks of Dkatz - all in...

[ranonranonarat]

second that and certainly wouldnt mind them going to uganda after having them already gone halfway round the world. you'll do a great job in them. i endorse you my man!

[morse9443]

you'd be crazy to not give these to dkatz

[dkatz]

you guys flatter me.

edit: would suck for BAerts to only get them for 2 weeks though... I could send the back to him in Dec?

[Medine]

Send them to Africa!

[-Z-]

Send them to Africa!

2nd

3rd

4th that.

We haven't had an African country yet represented right? Check one more continent off the list!

I'm all for it. I'd love to get them for at least a couple weeks in October, though. I'm headed camping and hiking this weekend at Fall Creek Falls. I'd be happy to get a little wear and ship them to dkatz, later next week. Is that okay?

[beatle]

cool........

Sounds good! And I'll happily ship them back to you when I'm back in California in mid-December.

PM'ed...

[dkatz]

Locked in!

Big props to BAerts for being flexible. I'll make sure to throw some sort of obnoxiously African goody in the package as a thank-you when I return them your way!

[-Z-]

so. fucking. cool.

i showed the thread to my wife again the other day and she laughed at how excited we all get over that pair of jeans. She just treated them as something in her closet just to put on, not a holy grail of world conquering status. seriously. have we hit every continent (save antarctica of course)??

I like to think of them as the bible of denim.

[fallen angels]

best tour in superdenim

[yakrian]

This is gonna be epic. How many other threads can really call themselves "World Tours" after this? Talk about a SuFu x SE legacy.

[BAerts]

Well, still no jeans, today, so they won't be making it on the camping trip this weekend. No biggy, I'll wear 'em next week for a bit and send them on for their long journey to Africa!

[ordo]

Still following this thread regularly though I haven't had much to say (its not easy to keep the same post count if one posts too often). I am looking forward to the next chapter as the Flat Head World Tour hits Africa. Godspeed venerable 3001s.

[beatle]

ordo - still alive and kicking...

[aho]

Wow just read through the thread...Getting all sentimental about the time last year when I had the jeans...A lot has changed (for the better) and seeing my updates is a bit bittersweet. I can't imagine all the memories this magical pair must have embedded in it, for all of the participants that have worn them....Thanks to kiya for making this thing happen, longest running tour on sufu, nay, the whole world (seriously, we should aim for a world record)!

BTW, I'd love to see the original tour book if it's floating around somewhere?

[beatle]

Safari leg should be really really great...

[dkatz]

shit, BAerts that sucks! You'll just have to do it up when you get them back in December.

And I'm not sure about the "safari", beats - though it's looking like I will have to run all over the country for meetings right when I get back from the States, in Arua (North/West Nile), Mbarara (West), Mukono (Central) and Mbale (East), so that should be fun! And I'm hoping to go somewhere fun for Thanksgiving weekend - a buddy and I are talking about playing airplane-Russian Roulette: going to the airport on that Wednesday morning and taking the next flight (under a certain cost) and spending the long weekend wherever that takes us. That, of course, is pending what work will be like then... my life is a clusterfuck.

[ThinFinn]

^can't wait till your leg starts mate...great pics and landscapes for the win!

[BAerts]

Hey, all, upon still having not seen the jeans, I just PM'd tigerformula. Worry not, we'll get them to dkatz for the Africa trip! Stay tuned.

[BAerts]

The jeans have arrived! Buuuuut I'm probably going to go ahead and ship them to dkatz right away in hopes that they'll make it to NYC before the Africa trip. See you back in Nashville in December!

[aho]

Thanks for trying BAerts!

[dkatz]

damn, BAerts, sorry!!

Hope you at least gave them a quick fondle. I'll let you know when they show up!

also: I didn't think to have BAerts measure for me.... hopefully they fit...

[BAerts]

The jeans shipped out yeserday morning. Not sure what size they are, but if you're under a 33, I'm pretty positive you can squeeze into them. They seem like about a 31 or 32.

[beatle]

dkatz - these will fit you plenty
