DOUBLE INDIGO 666 WORLD TOUR

Ahh the memories!

The jeans have safely arrived and I'm really impressed with how they look.
I don't know how y'all beat up jeans so quickly, I feel like it takes me forever to get a pair of jeans to look like these already do! I was a bit worried about the thighs on the 666 cut but I managed to squeeze into them, the denim is already nice and soft. I quite like the fabric, not too heavy but also not lightweight by any means. I'll admit, it's been awhile since I wore a pair of IH jeans, I've been wearing other brands lately. But this is really making me reconsider that, and I've only been wearing the jeans for a couple of hours now.
@DrBabyhorse was kind enough to include some goodies along with the jeans, I'll be drinking this one tonight!
So for my first day with the jeans I decided to go to the grocery store since I had the day off from work. I only really needed a couple of things, but I decided to stock up on beer because they just got a nice selection in. So I ended up basically walking out with just beer and some coffee.
This is my local grocery store's beer selection. It's quite extensive, this is just the USA stuff and the selection continues around another 30/40 feet. I managed to score some good stuff that I didn't expect to come across.
After that I went by work and grabbed the nicer camera, so here's my attempt at photographing the jeans in their current state. I'm going to take some better photos tomorrow morning, the lighting right now is pretty bad. Wore them since I got them this morning:

^ awesome! I passed along my favorite of the beers I received. Thought that was kind of cool. I'm glad the sizing worked out for you.

That's quite a selection from your grocery store. Looking forward to more pics. [emoji1]

@DrBabyhorse I've had the RuinTen triple IPA which was nearly too much for me. I'm excited to try the double out tonight, should be good. And I'll take some fit pics tomorrow, the thighs are on the slimmer side but I can tell the denim is pretty easy to work with so I think after a couple of days wear they'll fit nicely.
@HeavyGenes it's a bit of an oversight by most people, a lot of beer guys tend to only go to smaller bottle shops. But this grocery store gets great beer and it's really not targeted towards people who are looking for it. So I can usually find some really great stuff that already would've gotten picked over in the smaller shops. I'll take photos of my two favorite bottle shops over the next few weeks!

I miss those jeans so bad!! [emoji25] The thighs will definitely stretch for you man! The II is the coolest fabric I've ever worn, I love it! However, the DD tour is making me want some Double Ducks now…. Great first update Broark

I miss them too. It's weird dedicating a month to them and then passing them on. I was a little sad about it (and they fit better than most of my jeans). They are great. I would grab a pair of they were still available.

I'm curious- what are your two favorites?
-
@Chris probably Southwest Parkway Market and Witchcraft Beer Store, but they tend to get picked over first since they have the best selection and are pretty active on social media so people know when new stuff arrives.
There are a few others around the city that I really like that look questionable but have really great selections. -

Great first post mate looking forward to your leg of the tour. The jeans are looking really good.
It is a weird feeling putting a month of solid wear then passing them on. I missed the DD's when I sent them off.

Im suddenly very thirsty!!
+1 … Friday! and my fridge is nearly empty ::)
Great start with your tour - keep it up!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
I bugged my girlfriend to let me borrow a white sheet to have a bit of a better background to photograph the jeans over. I told her that I'm wearing the jeans for a month and then I send them off to the next in line. She laughed and said "you're basically participating in The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants"…she's not wrong?
So far I really like the color that this denim is developing, really nice dark hues. Also the patch is aging really well. I might give it a treatment sometime later if everyone is okay with that.
Here's my attempt at better photos, I'm by no means a skilled photographer so go easy on me!
And here are my even poorer attempts at taking fit pics. Like I said before the jeans are definitely snug on me, especially though the thigh. The waist feels pretty good though. I would also prefer a higher rise jean, like I've been wearing lately. I think maybe in the future a pair of 18 oz. Beatle Busters would be a better fit possibly. But I'm going to give these hell for a month and enjoy the ride.
Some beer photos from last night, both were delicious. The Simtra really kicked me in the teeth after the Stone at 11.25% ABV…definitely felt it this morning.
And here's Olive, she was wondering what I was doing in the other room but was too lazy to come check the photoshoot out.

Checking in this evening (this is probably what most of my updates from here on out will revolve around…
)
My Texas Longhorns are playing Oklahoma State this evening. I love college basketball and really most sports in general, I'm a diehard Texas Longhorns fan (had football season tickets for the last 5 years or so) and was born into being a Kentucky basketball fan as well.
Please excuse the bare feet.
This evening's beer is a collaboration between Jolly Pumpkin and Stillwater, a nice farmhouse ale brewed with wild limes and rose lemongrass tea.
