That is awesome, @Noahf
This must be the least restricting jeans there is, right?
im not gonna lie, the bibs have ruined me. They are a 34 and I refuse to wear my 634's in 34 or 36 now. They just feel so restricting, even vs the double knee bibs. I am hoping when XHS or UHR in 888 comes out that I can get a comfy fit, but these bibs really allow the thighs to breathe.

Shopping at SENY. Yes, I bought the shirt:
Bib brother! Is that the new 9 oz workshirt? Im thinking of picking it up as well.

My wife is an art historian. Increasingly, “play” for me means art museums. Here’s me at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Jan. I’m in front of Cy Twombly’s Fifty Days at Iliam: Shades of Achilles, Patroclus, and Hector. Twombly had a lifelong preoccupation with Greek and Roman mythology. Here, he’s fusing a translation of The Iliad with abstraction and figuration. Does it conjure the sensation of watching the Trojan War? What color would your cloud be? I’m not sure where the beauty ends and the meaning begins. IHTB-01 and 21oz 633 are the right clothes for pondering these questions.

I swear I never notice how these 634S's are fading until I see them in pictures.

Great jeans… Great wall too. What is that made of?
Thanks! The wall is just some old wood shake siding outside of my favorite local antique shop. It's been there for decades, and looks better the more it gets worn down. Just like these jeans, I guess!

Good shit @Brock and beautiful family.
Trivia: Timberline Lodge is where some of the exterior shots of the hotel in The Shining come from, though Stephen King was inspired by the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO, and I think pretty butthurt that it wasn’t used. He hated the film for that and whatever other reasons. He’s wrong on that.
The Stanley does market around being The Shining hotel and loops the film on one of their channels endlessly. It’s in Rocky Mountain National Park, which is gorgeous, though Estes Park is a bit touristy for my taste.

I guess this could count as Leisure or Family. This is my puppy daughter. I found her 3 yrs ago out in the desert of Nevada. Someone appeared to have used her for puppies and dumped her. She was skin and bone. I spent an hour trying to get her as she stayed out of reach eating only the Blueberry crackers I'd toss to her. About to give up I started the car and waited. She came over and climbed in. Turned her in to the SPCA and nobody claimed her so went back and got her. Named her Blueberry and we do everything together. The drive through people at the coffee shop hooked her up with some ham so she can participate

Hi all my real name is Dan and yeah I get called Double Denim Dan quite a lot. I’ve been an industrial radiographer for thirty years now. On site we get called bombers. The equipment we use is built to penetrate through metal and carbon fibre. When I was an apprentice I X-Rayed a rose for a girl and made it into card. Dam I was silly. This gave me an idea. What if I could X-Ray some jeans on some old out of date film that doesn’t cost anything and no one cares about in my break time?
I’m sorry as well I did a man search on the pockets and just tapped them down and left some sweet wrappers in them. These jeans are 25oz 777 in 31” waist but the biggest film size available was 35x43 cm so I couldn’t fit everything on. The 13 Fe EN thing is an IQI image quality indicator for steel but these are iron. Don’t put things in your pocket and think that it’s clean the pockets catch everything and trap it. ???

More serious heat on the comp… I don't envy the judges!

I'm currently living in Benalla, which is about 200 km, or 140 miles northeast of Melbourne. About the only thing to happen of note here was that Ned Kelly, who rocked an epic beard and a homemade suit of armour, got into a scuffle at the local bootmaker in 1877.
The shop survives, but it's a café these days.
There's a plaque on the door commemorating the event.
Along with a sign outside telling the story.
And for IH content, here's a selfie. I'm wearing my old Heavyweight Denim Championship t-shirt under my bib.
