      …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!

        Awesome update, (although sorry to hear about your grandfather passing). Looks like a great night out with your bro.

          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 🙂

                  Oysters, beef and beer. That's what my family reunions look like too [emoji1434][emoji1]

                  EDIT: I should mention, we also have whisky and guilt though [emoji23]

                      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!

                            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 haha

                              Anyways, perhaps more updates later 🙂

                                  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,

                                          Jett, i used to use a 15:1 water to coffee ratio, but this time used 50g coffee with 700ml water - only filled to the little bubble instead of the wood like I normally do lol

                                          I bough Rogue Dead Guy and Bakers - both are substantially cheaper in Texas than they are in Alabama - although the TX whiskeys are good too, but not my Cup of tea

                                            Hey guys, quick update. Just picked up the jeans today, not able to take any photos yet since I'm just heading out to work but I'll be sure to post some pictures tomorrow.
                                            Perfect timing as I'm heading out to Jester King for a beer release tomorrow and then leaving for New Orleans on Saturday. Stay tuned!
