Ooe yofukuten world tour 2009-2010

[Tiro]

ok, so a very small update today, my life really ain't that interesting most of the time

anyhow, today I was a lazy ass bum, so still didn't paint the star, guess I'll do that over the weekend if I have time.

so today after work, my girlfriend wanted to go to this mall-ish thing that is pretty well known in Belgium and since we only live about 10km from the place now, guess it was only a matter of time...

set the gps to avoid traffic, those 10km can be hell at rush hour

wait, they don't have any japanese brands or handmade leather goods at this place, man... why did i even come here...

one last look, obviously everyone else already left (people do look at you in a strange way when you are followed by a photographer in the mall or at the supermarket btw)

i am so outta here (nvm the facial expression, tho it suits my sentiments at the time very well)

[Tiro]

so after surviving wijnegem shoppingcenter, i managed to do completely nothing the rest off the evening, well almost nothing, i did make myself some coffee...

we'll (well me) be using the good shit (well at €14 for 250g i like to think it is, tho i'm not an expert)

and we will be going old-skool

this thing is supposed to make 4 espressos, i'll just put all of it in one cup and drink it by myself

this method offcourse takes a bit of time

[Tiro]

after the patience, comes the reward...

so that's it for me today, i'll hit the hay, gotta work the morning shift in a few hours...

i highly doubt tomorrow will bring any updates as i'll be home alone, putting a new coat of varnish on the windows in our roof, i'll try to post something tho, maybe some denim close-ups or something.

ps:

what size are these jeans again? they truelly are a marvelous fit on me (if only the leg opening was a cm bigger or my feet a lil' smaller they would be perfect)

and does anyone have a wash log on these jeans? how many times and how warm...

[Atzec]

the size is 35 (shrink from tagged) and i truly tink you have the BEST it so far.

about the was log: i think everyone in the tour washed them about once. i washed at 40°, maybe 60 i don´t really remember...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

nice update! yeah

they are very slim in the leg. what size are your other OOE?

and I've to agree with Atzec, best fit!

[Tiro]

my pair of 1502xx is a size 35x36, with a few mm's of extra leg opening, but they seem roomier in the top block, then again, they have never been washed at 60°C yet

I love the fit on our travelling pants, probably the best fitting pair of Japanese jeans I have ever worn, they make me want to wear my 1502xx again in the future, I hope they'll turn out fitting the same.

well back to the varnish

ps: they are quite perfect in the leg, only the leg opening itself could be a few mm's bigger for me, cause my feet are huge...

[ThinFinn]

^hey mate...nice update again!

got a question: will you also post your days of your legg on mynudies? the "guys" asked about it...if not and if you wouldn't mind, I would quote your post from here to there?...

cheers

if someone would crosspost my updates on mynudies, that would be awesome, it saves me alot of time. (which I have less of since I'm living together with my girl)

[ThinFinn]

^no problemo mate, i will do it...

[Mich]

Loving the updates Tiro!

No worries about your life being boring, mine is equally boring... if that's what you wanna call it.

It's enjoyable to watch anyway.

Nice Tiro...

[Mr HaGa]

Was looking forward to seeing some pics of the jeans in the old country, and what do I get? Shopping in Wijnegem mall and the Colruyt?!?

Come on Tiro, you can do better!

Looking forward to more..........

LOL........

[Tiro]

LOL, sorry Mr.Haga, but as I said, my life ain't that exciting, things I posted were things that needed to be done

anyhow, couldn't leave u guys hanging without any pics for two full days, so...

that's it though, didn't do much today, just hung around with the jeans and my buddy mr. tanuki

more to come tomorrow and surely over the weekend, cause saturday is laundry day:

[dave023]

Black Ooe's Tiro???

[SLAB]

come on Tiro, time to make a trip to Antwerp/Brussels/Bruges and show SuFu what Belgium is all about (& dont forget a trip to the french fry shop )

[Tiro]

come on Tiro, time to make a trip to Antwerp/Brussels/Bruges and show SuFu what Belgium is all about (& dont forget a trip to the french fry shop )

Antwerp is for tomorrow, Bruges will also be on the list, my inlaws live in Bruges, I'll try to get to Brussels but I'm not making any promises...

anyhow, question, did u guys use the paint pure or did you mix it with water or something?

btw dave, those aren't black, they are 1502xx, might be the lighting/flash...

didn't get the time to soak those yet, since they arrived one day before I left on my holiday, then afterwards I started moving to the new appartment, so again, no time and now I've got the travelling pants, so...

Guess they'll be my main pair when my leg of the tour is over.

[Mr HaGa]

If you go to Antwerp maybe go to the Lee store, they always have some cool Lee MiJ stuff there.........

And paint that star with pure uncut raw, baby! Unless the paint is drying out after a year of traveling around the world, but it should be okay I think.

[Tiro]

okay, then today is star day!

anyhow, when I go to antwerp in the morning I will try to stop at the lee store and clinic...

also, I got an invitation of this company that is importing Japanese brands in Belgium to stop by their showroom and have a look at their stuff (http://okiya.eu/agency/ dunno if u guys know about them), it's in antwerp too, but they are out of the country for the weekend.

I'll try to go there somewhere next week... Dave if you are interested to tag along, they got omnigod, MF, eternal...

well, laters guys, I'm gonna shoot some pics of the jeans while the sun is still up, to document them before I start painting...

ps: how long does the paint take to dry? I'll be needing the jeans for laundry day, so gotta calculate that

[salaami]

whats laundry day? does everybody get together and wash their stuff at one time? its obvious why i would be keen to something involving denim and water.

[Tiro]

sorry for the delay guys, weekend was quite busy...

i'm putting the pictures on my harddrive as we speak, then i'll post the update, hang in there, pics will be up in about an hour...

btw, salaami, sorry to dissapoint you, laundry day is actually an electronic music festival, that started in the 'fashion' area of Antwerp years ago....

guess that's where the name comes from. :confused:

[Tiro]

so friday i shot some pics of the jeans, before painting the star...

also, i didn't do much friday, so otherwise there would've been no pics of that day

[Tiro]

some more close-ups of our jeans...

i'm reall liking the patch on these jeans, here hidden behind my rm belt

[Tiro]

so...

call me a lazy sob if u must, but i still didn't paint the star, didn't want to risk not being able to wear the jeans to laundry day...

as i said, it's an electronic music festival, with 6 stages, ranging from techno, drum and bass, electro, to the main stage with somewhat more mainstream electronic acts...

here's the pics:

[Tiro]

I couldn't leave without getting my very own laundry day 2010 t-shirt

the main stage

decoration I guess...

[Tiro]

most of the day, you could find me at the techno stage

[Tiro]

i have an oakley addiction...

buddy didn't want to have his ugly mug on the internetz

some skating going on next to the techno stage

[/img]

gotta protect your ears people

[Tiro]

on our way back to the main stage

main stage again

building in the background has to do with justice something...

supreme court or something, dunno, I'm only living in antwerp for about three weeks now...

quick posing for the boards...

[Tiro]
