          many thanks guys - excited to meet some of the IH Forum peeps this weekend as well!  The 888WTJ are drying from a gentle machine wash last night, and my legs feel lost without them.

          I have some updates to make late today, but it's crunchtime in order for me to leave town in time tomorrow.

          I'll be sure to snag some post wash pics of the jeans as well once they dry!

            Hey @Appfaff could you take some post wash measurements of the jeans if you have free time?
            Totally get it if you're too busy getting ready for the trip up to Austin, I'll see the jeans in a couple of days anyway!

              Hey Broark, I measured the waist and they are right at 36 now, maybe a hair under. Hope that helps!

                  Got the jeans from @Appfaff last night, and managed to get a IH key ring from G.  😎 But no chocolate!  :o
                  More photos to come, but I have the jeans on now and I have to say this is the first time I've put on a pair of IH jeans and they've fit me damn near perfectly. I can safely say I will buy a pair of jeans in this cut soon, you guys nailed it. We're heading to the renaissance festival today, so I'll be updating the thread with pictures soon!

                        Just got back to Austin from our weekend at the Ren fest and visiting my girlfriend's mom in Conroe.
                        If you ever take a road trip in Texas stop at Buc-ees, they're basically a Texas-sized truck stop with clean bathrooms and a massive selection of snacks and drinks.

                        Made it to the festival:

                        Jousting!

                        Some nice stained glass:

                        Shot of the jeans with my new RW 9874s:

                        Not normally a selfie kind of guy but wanted to test out the portrait mode on my new phone:

                        More to come, I'll try to take more pictures daily!

                                Thanks everyone, I'm just trying to live up to the previous leg.  😃
                                Started the day off walking the dog.

                                Don't mind the Birks as I only wear them to take her outside.

                                Fit pic of the jeans, they are a more little snug in the thighs than I typically prefer but I don't mind.
                                This is my first time actually wearing the 21 oz. denim and I like how comfy it is.

                                Had a second phone interview before work to try and land a better job, hopefully I hear back some good news soon.
                                Had my afternoon coffee which sadly isn't that great, but I get it for free since I know the people who work there. I've been at my current job so long that they know my order and just give me free coffee every day.  😉

                                Got home and Olive was so happy that she turned into a parrot.  🙂

                                This evening I went with my girlfriend to her Spanish class at the local church, I'm not religious at all but I'm not one to turn down free food and good company. This was the last class so they had a feast of food from different central and south American countries made by volunteers in the community who organized the class. So authentic home cooking! It was a very nice gesture and the food was delicious.

                                My plate got a little full but you get the idea.  😎

                                Until tomorrow!

                                        You call that full?  Considering how good the food looks, I would consider that politely restrained.
