HEAVYWEIGHT
Samurai JIN 170z
s0110xj****Part 1: FIT EvoI've had my Jin_s for about a year prior to the contest. 'Future-sized to a W34 [SU1]. 'LUVed the unique texture/weave of the denim_ the mid-rise & relaxed straight cut were a plus. However, the [rider] back pocket placement was not really to my liking, so i put them away after a week's wear.
'Been procrastinating on a plan to re-do the pockets until HWDC2 got me to finally follow through.
Re-positioning the back pockets similar to my Yamato 001__ w/c meant moving each pocket a tad lower & closer to the center =the back seam [ie, about an inch, diagonally] has made a world of difference, IMO … apologies, if i offended the LeePro & WranglerPro lovers out there
Part 2: Jeans Evo
2y/o= 12mos effective wear= 5 washes + a final double cold wash for the "finals" evo shots__ the double wash amazingly bumped up the fade contrast.

Wow two years has been a long time, here is my favorite pictures/moments through the last couple years. I've done so much more, but I take so few pictures, I really should do more
April 13 - It all started here: Cape Cod, MA
July 13 - That didn't last long, moved to: Baltimore, MD
Nov 13 - On vacation somewhere out west in the middle of no where
2nd largest bonzi garden just south of Seattle, WA

Oct 14 - My sister was pregant with her first child, I decided to make him a quilt
Nov 14 - There is a reason little old ladies make quilts, they have nothing but time.
I think the only concert I saw in those two years - Trevor Hall (I went to the syphony once, no pics though)
Dec 14 - Quilt done, wow they take a lot of time. I hand stitched the entire thing, hand pieced, hand quilted, hand everything, it never touched a machine, turned out pretty good.
Jan/Feb 15 - Vacation - Friends house in Cali
A place to buy tequila in Mexico, the place was 95%+ tequila, it was probably the single greatest store I've visted in my life (I love tequila, I got away with only buying 8 bottles, which I thought was good)
April 15 - The kid and the quilt
And we are done, been a great two years.
