DOUBLE INDIGO 666 WORLD TOUR
-
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.

Haha!! Me too. I love watching he jeans grow up and evolve lol!
I still can't get over how great the II fabric is!! And that patch is insane! I say do whatever you want to them while you have them (besides alterations). Basically "yours" for a month right?
I can't remember if I started a wash/soak tally.. I thought i did on one of the pocket bags but haven't seen any pictures of it since they left Portland.
Also, they look great on you Br0ark! Enjoy

Sorry for the lack of updates guys! Been working and the weather has been absolute garbage for the last few days. Tons of rain but we need it!
I went and grabbed tacos today with my work buddy and I brought Olive along with me. Of course she managed to get some dirt on the world tour jeans with the rain and everything, so I'm thinking about giving them a wash. Everyone cool with that? I don't know what the protocol is since this is my first world tour.
Here they are from a couple of days ago, love the way the denim is fading.

I say do whatever you want. I wouldn't wear dirty jeans if I didn't want to just for the sake of y'all.

It's your leg of the tour wash as much or as little as you want

Every fade, blemish, mark, tear, rip, wash, soak, tells the story of the tour. Your turn to write Broark.
Cheers from the mobile

Please post after wash measurements!! Very curious to how much food I need to eat. I gotta gain an inch as it is.
Sure thing! They went through the washing machine on warm and were pulled out before the spin cycle to avoid any weird creasing (never really had any issues with my washer doing that but I usually am washing lighter weight denim).
Hopefully they will be dry by tomorrow!
