DOUBLE INDIGO 666 WORLD TOUR
-
Thanks guys - they are spectacular jeans, and I've found the 666 cut super versatile. Seriously debating getting a pair of the OG 18oz ones.

Day 4 of the LA (lower Alabama) tour legAnyways, Not a very exciting day to document, but I did snag some more photos of the jeans and what we had for dinner.

Alrighty guys… so I had planned on driving back to Texas to spend the weekend with my dad and brother at the lake for our grandma's (dads mom) birthday celebration, but some unexpected news of my grandfather (moms dad) passing had me hop in the car today and drive from
Alabama (mobile) to Texas (Fort Worth). Looks like I'll then be traveling to Indiana this weekend for the memorial arrangements as well, but until then, my brother (@formulapfaff) and I are spending some quality time together.Anyways, since the drive was so long, and the world tours being a bit snug on me, I elected to wear my 555-03 on the drive but quickly changed into them to go out to dinner and drinks with Greg (my brother).
The IH arsenal that I brought for my trip. Wasn't expecting the memorial to be this weekend in Indiana so I hadn't packed any suitable clothes for cold weather… but at least I will look good in 10 degree (f) nights lol
BTW- when you move out of the house, your mom will put a chaise lounge in your room to remind you that you can't stay here long
Perfect for serious style WAYWT posts
Luckily, there is an amazing Mexican bakery (tex mex) place around the corner from my parents house so my brother grabbed him IHSH-170 and we headed that way.
On our way

…Continued
We arrived at stop 1
First off, margaritas. A must.
My dinner. It was 10000x better than anything we have in Alabama. No surprise there
Next we found ourselves at a new cigar bar around the corner. My brother had a nice "My Father" cigar while I had a … well I can't remember the name but here is the label lol
The place hadn't gotten their liquor license now, so was acting as a "membership club." So for a $5 membership fee, we had "complimentary" Glenlivet 15yr with our cigars on the back patio while the owner set up a private Sonos speaker with jazz for us. Quite a nice evening
Came back to the house and had a local Texas beer - essentially a craftier version of a shiner bock for those familiar with that brew
A bonus pic from our stroll to and from our nightly adventure
Hoping to hit up a local workwear shop that opened up in town tomorrow and maybe get some jeans hemmed.
I'll be sure to keep everyone posted up about the tour jeans!

Thanks @neph - he was lucky to have lived a very full 89 years of life. We are comforted knowing that he spent his life dedicated to savings lives and spreading a love for art and compassion.
I hope to pass on a similar legacy to my children and grandchildren.
Anyways, not wanting to bring this bread down, just wanted to share the "adventure" and "real life happenings" of the jeans. It's weird to think all the stories the jeans have shared and I'm excited to be a part of the tour.
More posts later today

Is that a Tomahawk steak??
Yes sir! 42oz of greatness!
@neph and @organsis - oysters were a must! We did both Blue Point from Connecticut and Gulf from Mississippi - both were great.
Back home to Alabama today so will be sure to update!

Was in an Oyster bar in London last week and had a half dozen great ones from Morecambe Bay.

Awesome! I usually like the Bay fished oysters best since their water is usually more stable. The Blue Point were nice and brine-y but not overly salty. The Gulf, which are usually more "bland" (hence why we had originally planned to grill all 20 of them) were actually amazing, so I shucked some and we enjoyed those half-shell as well. I do prefer West Coast oysters however, and usually indulge whenever I can find them haha

Today was pretty standard. Coached 5:30, 6:30 and 8am training sessions and the kiddos got dropped off right before my 8am group.
Grayson trying in my watch cap
Came home, out the kids down for a nap and made some coffee, aeropress style
Then got to work
Paired the WT jeans with a new IHSH-76 I snagged from @kiya - cheers dude
Totally different textures - great combo for sure
Took a break for building some ads to feed the kids a snack.
Back to work for the rest of the day, but here are a few photos from the weekend:
Tried a new coffee shop in Fort Worth called Craftsworks. They do a coffee shop and then half the building is a "workspace" for people to rent conference rooms or simply sit and work. The coffee was pretty good. I had a Cortada while @formulapfaff had a Latte
Sure me more beers consumed:
PreFlight beer: Rahr Red - brewed in Fort Worth, Texas
A local Indianapolis beer we had while in Indiana
While searching for interesting things in my grandfathers wine cellar, my brother found this:
We opened it and drank some (had to throw out most of it, before realizing people were laying close to $200 for this year hahaAnyways, perhaps more updates later

Oh man, that beer?! Calling @Seul … Another brilliant update, you're setting a new standard here. Btw, what size did you go for on the 76?
Same as you I believe - XXL. Fit is just about perfect. Kiya sent me the largest P2P they had which fits identical to my 162 in XL
As for the beer, bottle aging is good, but I think 23 years was pushing it lol

Last night we cooked some dinner, and I had a Texas beer than I bootlegged back to Alabama with me. In actuality, I bootlegged An entire cooler of Texas beer as well as two bottles of whiskey… #outlawlife
No pics of dinner, sadly, but just some Greek chicken with rice and salad - pretty boring stuff really.
Anyways, got today started by trying a new (stronger) Chemex recipe - turned out great.
And tried out another piece that the IH fairly delivered to me in Tejas
About to hop onto a conference call and maybe take the kids to Costco later.. if so, I will be sure to document the carnage of my wallet to bulk deLs and impulse buys lol
Cheers,
Adam
