Iron Heart IH-634S - World Tour 2010 - 2013
-
So glad they made it safe and sound. One is always a little on edge entrusting such an irreplaceable item to the post. Now have a ball with them, Snowy! They are among the nicest, coolest, hottest pairs of jeans that ever covered my butt… really a tough moment to let them go. But they couldn't be in better hands, or rather with a better guy. Enjoy!

To wet the proverbial whistle of the tour, here's a little something something I put together that tracks where everyone was when they received the jeans. (Foxy's a hard man to pin down ;))

Day one and our kitten Soba, can't keep her paws off them!
(I'll be giving this a bit of oil this evening)
Today turned out very little like planned. Our oldest cat had an eye infection which resulted in 1/2 my day being absorbed by ferrying her to/from Mrs Snowy's work (Mrs Snowy = vet nurse).
After our the kitten was okay'd, back home to relax for a litte and enjoy some rare coffee beans; Hacienda La Esmeralda from Panama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esmeralda_Gesha)
For the afternoon I popped down to an area opposite the city called Pyrmont. I used to work in the area, and find it's slower pace quite enjoyable. There's also some good food close by. During the week, and often of an evening I'll be in the city itself, so thought it was worth giving you all a view of the city from the outside it.
Pyrmont also has the National Maritime Museum
Some 'cheap' boats in the area
Finally fit-pics
After which time for some dumpling like another world-tourer
That's it for the moment. Will be heading back to the city with Mrs Snowy soon. Will see if the camera comes along….

Superb! Didn't know the jeans had already been down under, now I do thanks to your map. The macros are denim porn, just great. They seem to fit you slightly looser than they did on me. And Snowy, heavily faded denim looks so damn good on you, you really ought to consider it for more frequent attire, above and beyond a world tour leg. A smashing overture to your leg, that surely makes us all eagerly awaiting more.
-
strange" feeling though, seeing you in a pair of faded jeans
My thoughts too…
And mine & Mrs Snowy's too. Having a very hard time getting used to such faded jeans :). They FEEL amazing tho. so soft and buttery smooth.
@501/IH I like the way it contrasts my darker clothing, I'll be sure to keep my current pairs in rotation until they reach a light shade for sure - this is great inspiration :).

Camera did head along and join us to Ramen in the city last night. Parked the car @ work, only car around so Mrs Snowy had a little fun. This Ramen Bar consistently is in the top 3 Ramen Bar's in Sydney, it's no wonder why either. (Will try get a better shot next week)
Depending on the Sunday it's usually close to home + swim during the day, which is how today's played out. Walked to lunch up the road at quite a Folky/Country/Modern/Warehouse styled place. I'd been craving pizza for over a week, had to get a slice. Really starting to get into the feel of these. Still getting used to the look but my oh my
::)
Fake Eames Lounge Chair, $600, RRP for Real is around $800. Don't know why you'd bother with the fake. It's got me thinking about a few of the real ones mind you…
Reflection
Camo's a local never met him but his work turns up all over the place on foot, and only in my local area. Quite detailed, always appreciate it as an ex-stenciler myself.
Getting closer to lunch now, notice the funky sign (that is not a Cannery at all any more, it's a clothing outlet)
'za!
Funky plants on inside of the place's walls
Behind the food area is this artsy/folksy area
This is really nicely executed IMO
The other revelation I had about the WT's is that being so light they contrast REALLY nicely with Denim shirts. Expect to see a bit more of Mr 33.…and now it's off to do some house cleaning, then the pool, then dinner. These will be photographed in detail next week. Not sure how I'll update the tour during the week, but life will be lived and shared...
-
As expected the weekday hijacking has already taken place. Let's see how well I manage to uphold, Will try get 1 or 2 every few days at least.
Following up from the Fake Eames Lounge Chair the other day, Mrs Snowy's green-lighted 'research' into the real one's on this coming weekend, should be fun.
This morning it was up with the sun, to ride into to city for work, which can be seen in the back left of the photo.
1/2 the day was going through a new storage system (3PAR), this shot was taken around 3 hours into the meeting. Informative, Enjoyable, but long, a general theme you'll be seeing in my days, no doubt;
Oh and this is from Saturday, no why, no why not, so yeah.
Might even speak next time
-
Yeah I'm not really a video person, saw the button and thought I'd give it a try. Something different. If I can I may as well :).
Per Random Rants, I got pulled onto a Severity One, All Systems Down call @ 2am this morning, and was up until around 730-8am. 5 hours sleep later, not the most alert or happy Snowy. Didn't dare risk putting on the WT's as I'd likely put my foot through them.
Up side is 1/2 a day @ home off work, cleaning, drinking tons of coffee to remain conscious
-
I feel ya, man! Happy recovery…
, those macros
