What are your jeans doing today?

[Paul T]

There I was admiring the snow in Beatle's scenes, when it arrived just in time for my trip up North to see the folks.

This is a small town called Beverley, in Yorkshire. USed to detest it heartily, but as I have mellowed I have come to appreciate its finer points. THe finest of which is this pub, The White Horse, always known as Nelly's. It dates from the 1700s, and sells beer by a bnrewery called Sam Smith, from Tadcaster. Every time I order a round of drinks I have to check the price... cos it's so ridiculously cheap, half London prices.

The lounge, complete with families and couples taking a break from the Christmas shopping.

it's full of tiny cubby-hole rooms, all lit by gaslight. Nothing has been changed here in a century or two. I think it also used to be a favroued haunt of old fokies, and Nick Drake played here 40 years ago.

Lovely old lead paint:

The pub's opposite an old church which I guess dates from the 1200s. I've always loved this old plaque commemorating a duel:

Sadly you can't see the nipper is wearing selvage H&M, but the wellies are nice & warm.

Trickers are holding up well in the wet.

I'm glad I bought a hat - a baker's boy, from COlumbia Road. And I brought the old Pea Coat out of retirement; all I need is about 6 inches taking out....

Besser als das Essen bei die Oma gibt es einfach nicht

Fruchtzwerge (one of the best treats that hasn't made it over to the States yet):

"Gesund mit Bier" (Healthy with Beer) — Only in Bavaria!

[Vinneus]

[riff]

Great stuff guys! I can't believe the snow missed us...

Farmer - would be nice to see your post-wash pics!

Well, today was a really laid back day. Even the pups just wanted to take it easy and be lazy.

We headed out to pick up some groceries and stuff... Hardly any snow left, although it's been really cold

The boys wanted to come along:

Always a good place for stocking stuffers:

Then it was off to buy food. Halfway through...

Mmmmmm... No cooking tonight! And the family dinner tomorrow is at relatives, so no cooking then either!

Then it was back home, to find a quiet corner & wrap gifts - without our daughter discovering...

The tree:

Every year we buy one or two special ornaments... This is one of my favorites. Notice Pink Panther Santa sitting in the sled our daughter built last year!

Hope you all have a great holiday season!

riff - Those dogs are awesome looking

[Florian.FloC]

Few days back, went up to Hexenagger for its Kriskindlmarkt...-14ºC was less than enough for us

So cold that my brother's eyelashes froze:

So cold that we couldn't feel the heat from the boiling water tank:

Post-dinner snow

[-Z-]

Florian, great post, i'm jealous of your locale, looking forward to two weeks vacation in January even more now.

the snow came and went...as always, not nearly as bad as predicted. but still a healthy 14 inches at our place. perfect way to get my parents snowed in at our house for the first xmas at our place...

woke up to this...

got some good hard work in the STF's

and as always...she loved every minute of it.

had time to snap a few pics

then on to the family x-mas day celebration at the in-laws home. complete with my favorite foods, beer, wine, and my favorite cat.

wondering why there is bedding in my office, a bit unhappy...but hey, it's x-mas!

[Florian.FloC]

I'm afraid of color and there are, in that sense, a few rarities in this batch. Around the 'Old Town' of Regensburg

[chchchip]

did i get it right connor?

[You Ren]

Woke up to snow falling ... a rare sight in Shanghai, as it only snows a few days a year here, if at all

Today my jeans (Burgus 770's) went go-karting. $8.80 USD for 8 minutes of thrills & spills!

The course is really well designed - makes the most out of a small space, and plenty of opportunity to over take, or slam into each other

Helmets sitting unused on a shelf - I love Shanghai! Live fast, live dangerously!

Caught a live rock gig...

[Dchill]

Had to get a pic of this sign on our x-mas road trip.

These lawn chairs were right behind the candy sign...crazy Texas people.

White Christmas.

[-Z-]

you ren, how do you like your burgus 770? i'm considering getting a pair when i'm in japan in a few weeks, but i've only seen them on hinoya's rakuten site. how is the fabric/cut/texture, etc.?

Oh man. I'd get killed but I'm down for that.

Hey Z, thanks for the rep, glad to hear you've got a japan trip coming up!

I've been documenting the evolution of my Lot 770s over on the Burgus by Hinoya thread http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=52202 - there's only a few pages on this brand so won't take you more than a few minutes to read the whole thing

In short though, the Burgus are a good value buy, the denim is really hairy and wears quickly to reveal some rewarding variations in blue. The cut is low rise and relatively slim fit. I recommend you go up one size, TTS leaves no room for balls

Good luck with the trip planning! Look forward to seeing your purchases!

My jeans spent part of the day shortening up my new hickory stripe shirt in front by about an inch and a half. I broke my sewing machine in the process, though If you look closely, you can see some uneven stitching, but I'm happy with it...

At this point, I think the fit is just about perfect. I think the anchor buttons are a much better fit. The front hem is already curling quite a bit.

[Dchill]

I do like those buttons, but what about that curl, you just gonna go with it?

[zissou]

It's pretty common on denim shirts. My MFSC denim utility shirt does it, as does any MFSC denim CPO I've seen. It's character, in my opinion.

[appfaff]

What my jeans did over the past couple of days haha

went to my grandparents in Indiana for x-mas.

went for a run on x-mas eve, and had to snap a pic of some horses:

Egg Nog on x-mas morning (fully chalked with Cognac and Bourbon:D)

My g-parents have this lighted sculpture in the house:

The shed behind their house:

little stream in the back yard:

my dad and I went out taking pictures last night:

hope everyone had a good holidays!

[Gang]

I washed my jeans for the coming new year. ()
