Really great photos,enjoying all of it. Starting to think Hot Ingrid might not let you send the jacket on to the next person. Maybe she can sign up for a leg of the tour.
you look either gangster or Mennonite in your suit
Can I be both? [emoji1]
Hot Ingrid is enjoying jacket (and the attention of strangers on the internet) more than expected [emoji23]
Thank you both…

Actually, I think you can be both. You could make it even weirder and throw Canadian in the mix.

And biker gangs.

Any-hooo….
Quiet few days here, at least out of work. Lots of playground duty as Hot Ingrid is writing her Bachelor thesis (she’s a qualified journalist but is re-training to be a teacher). She took a break to join the smalls and I. Low and behold, she put the tour jacket on when she left the house. It was 20C so she didn’t even need it [emoji849]
I’m getting to try out some lightweight IH denim (and the 777 cut) for the first time as a result of a cool trade with @bryaneidins70 (cheers buddy). These are the IH-777-14S-od. I’m impressed with the denim and even more impressed with the 777 cut (note the long untucked IH polo though, need to hide that plumbers crack).
Alfred is a big fan of the Papa. He’s always stealing my PN headwear regardless of the season.
Alternative ways of getting jacket evo… let a two year sociopath called Edward beat the crap out of it (and you).
Right, off to watch the last episode of GoT.

The Sons of Anarchy meets The Followers of Amman… I like it. Also there are some strong denim looks amongst both those «tribes» ...
Biker or Amish?
Ok, I'm done

Looking all good The 'Hot' Family.

Another nice update mate.
How’s the thigh on those 777’s? You size up in them?

The thigh is a little tight at the top but absolutely do-able without the sausage leg I get on 555's. They are w34 (measures at 35.5") which is a touch big but nothing a belt doesn't sort out. Given the lower rise it really isn't an issue as the waistband sits on top of the hips nicely, contra the 555 that flaps around the waist or sags down and causes nappy butt if too big. The 777 is definitely more forgiving than the 555 for those of us with big legs. The wider knee is the trick.

Had to go in to town today for a medical procedure. While waiting I had a walk around the waterfront in the fine weather.
Tried a couple of panoramas. The small boat harbour:
Our new, very expensive and very beautiful public library.
The medical procedure called for me to be nil by mouth for six hours. By the time it was finished I hadn’t eaten or had water for 13 hours. So…
300grams of patties, cheese and bacon. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere I restrict my meat consumption to a minimum but today called for a blow out. I’m all for hipster gastro-burgers but as we all know, there’s no school like the old school and these burgers haven’t changed in the 20 years I’ve lived here. The same recipe for the patties, the same bread, nasty ranch dressing and spice mix on the pommes frites. It was good.

Nasty ranch is what makes it. [emoji23]

So true. Can’t conceive of eating it on anything else but on a big dirty burger it is grand.

Nothing like a good case of the meat sweats.

It takes an IH world tour to be reminded how mundane your life is. The wife is still finishing off her year at uni and I’m still on playground duty when I’m not at work.
There’s always something going on though. My town has a major NATO base (it was a super secret comms monitoring station during The Cold War) not far away and a major military air base too. As such there are often international military training operations and manouvers going on. At the minute the peace of the Arctic is continually broken by jet fighters and support aircraft overhead.
This pair couldn’t care less though [emoji1]
Tour jacket with some XHSib and wabash…
Oh, and I tidied my closet. Denim currently in rotation:
Heavy shirt rail:
I considered a picture of the vest rail but even with the panorama function the iPhone couldn’t tackle it [emoji6]
