Sweet! So is the plan to have me rock the jeans in Oct and then hand off to Broark in Nov when we are all in Austin, or for me to get the jeans from Giles in Austin and then ship to Broark?
If need be I can always order something from IHUK and have them shipped to me so we can get it rolling in Oct haha
Thanks for letting me be a part of this!
Oh, and be gentle washing them Mega haha

They've been worn for about 20 minutes, so no need for a wash yet dude
Either is good for me, I'll send them to G on Friday so he will have them for Monday….I'm sure he wouldn't object to an order for early tour start
-
Ok sweet - I'll order up either the 193 or Cord shirt and have them sent my way - that way I can get some action into them and document the trade off in Austin! Excited to hit up the city - have not been in more than a decade and I desperately need a weekend away haha

Ok team, I'm starting this with a BOOM!
09/27/2017 (sorry to all my European friends, the jeans are in America now… [emoji12])
The 888 prototypes landed in good ole Alabama today, so I wanted to go ahead and get a decent update started for you guys.
My day pretty much consisted of cos bing a few sessions (more on that later), sitting on a conference call (sadly, probably more of that as well), picking up the twins from their nanny, and heading to the UPS store to grab the WTJ (world tour jeans from here on out).
The kids were not as excited as I was to have the glorious WTJ in their possession…
Dropped off some new bands at the gym:
Came home and enjoyed a Founders IPA:
Packed the kids lunch boxes for pre-school tomorrow
And now the moment you all have been waiting for:
…more in Part 2

09/27/2017 Part 2:
Gave the WTJ a decent iron to get them into tip top shape, and gave them a try…
Now, the measures are definitely on the slim side of small for me, but I don't think they are terrible. Aside from some tightness towards the waistband (IPAs be damned!) they are actually pretty comfy:
Gav and Giles both sent proper British commodities along with the WTJ:
I also received a pretty kick ass care package from a recent transaction with a forum member, so I pulled out the leather care gear and while I was reconditioning those items (shown a few pics below), I also gave my Red Wings a refresh for the season.
I wore them to a concert last night, Band of Horses, so they were kinda nasty:
Bonus pic of the band from last evening (they were AWESOME by the way):
The result of the Iron Ranger refresh:
I also received my first ever pair of Vibergs today, and gave them an all over conditioning treatment. I also got a nicely worn IHB-?, so I cleaned and conditioned both in prep for putting the hurt (doubtful) on them this fall:
Decided to kick off the tour by finishing off my bottle of Clyde Mays Alabama Whiskey. It's "alright" but pretty mellow and easily drinkable.
Since my dumbass dosnt have enough going on already (more on that later as well), I figured I'd get my real estate license…
So I'm fishing off the night going through some of my coursework while the kids are asleep and the wife is playing volleyball:
Anyways… I'll try to give a FULL day of fun tomorrow, but the temps are still so high here, the jeans might not accompany me to 5:30am training sessions tomorrow AM [emoji23]
Cheers everyone, glad to have the honor of kicking off the tour!

09/27/2017 Part 3 (BONUS)
Since I figured by the end of the tour, the stitching in the pockets will be LONG gone, I figured I would document that they did, in fact, begin in proper shape:
… till tomorrow [emoji41]
