The Knights in White Denim Tour -AKA The White Trash Tour…
-
i would like to make a request for more pics of the denim. really curious to see what they look like at this stage of the game.
I'll get some together in the next day or two.
They're holding up well, but there aren't the fades you get on an indigo pair. Rather they're accumulating stains as they go.
-
As promised, pictures. Apologies for the quality, as this was taken with a cheap point-and-shoot and an improvised tripod.
The jeans themselves are in good condition. They've picked up stains, but don't appear to be wearing through anywhere. I don't know how much use they've had, but I've put about a month's worth on them.
The waist has stretched out to 38". It might have shrunk back again after being washed.
-
Great fit! And I absolutely LOVE how that patch looks against the bright white. So perfect.
-
Sign up for a leg of a tour in that case, and then you've got an excuse to do something…
I think that if I'd had the Whites in a month or two's time then things could have been more exciting. Then again, I was through to the second round of a job in Sydney just before Christmas, which would have made for a somewhat different leg.

Glad you enjoyed it Rafa.
If you fancy doing a leg, then drop Jii a PM. He was keen to have them for the end of March, so you could potentially get the April slot.
But they have stretched out a bit. I think that they were up to 38" when I checked, and were feeling a bit loose on me.

It's the first time I've participated in a world tour so hope you guys enjoy!
Got the jeans yesterday (both Royal Mail and the finnish post managed to do a good job, 4 days from the UK isn't too shabby!) and the fit was pretty much spot on, which was no surprise. They're starting to be in such as state though - not very white
- that wearin them to the office is a no-go so I'll have to do my best to wear them in my free time.Helsinki, Finland isn't the most picturesque place in the world right now when spring seems to be lurking around the corner. We had an extremely snowy winter and there's heaps of snow everywhere which is starting to melt and when it mixes with dirt and such it makes an ahem interesting mix. Nothing I can do about that, but I'm sure it'll make some cool splatter stains all over the lower legs of the jeans
"Idyllic" street views along the street where I live:
And here's "Sir Me" in the WT:s
Me and loghill had already earlier agreed to meet up for a couple of beers after work, which is the best way to kick off this leg IMHO! We went to one of my favorite pubs, they stock loads of nice beers. Since I'm a huge fan of real/cask ales, I always check if they have some available and they usually do. This was what's on offer:
It was really good!
Right across from the street there's this amazing falafel joint…
..and the best part is that you're allowed to take whatever you order from over there and eat it in the pub! If you don't know the finnish way of living this doesn't seem like much but for us it's nothing short of revolutionary. Finland used to be and still is a country of finding ways to control just about everything through legislature, and all the rules regarding selling alcohol and/or food are very complex and under close scrutiny. Thankfully it's starting to become a bit more relaxed now and we sure as hell make the most of itAnyway this is what we had, falafel with grilled halloumi
and sweet potato fries
A good day to kick off my leg all in all!
