      @AdamJ:

      I will happily have it framed on a wall in the office as a piece of IH history once the tour is complete!

      That could be an appropriate solution… seeing as the jacket was crowd sourced then IHUK could buy us all out with a charitable donation to an appropriate cause.

        This is a wonderful idea @neph93 - or we could auction it off to a member of the tour? Charity of their choice, and then it would live in the forum land forever?

        and yes @Chris - we would love to cheers some beers with you again very soon!

          I’m game for another leg if there are other US friends that want to hop on too. I don’t want to hog it over here

            I'd love to see quality pics of how the denim has evolved. I'm back in the US but I think I'll respectfully bow out of any potential next leg.

            I think this piece should stay in the IHUK Museum forever.  😉

              Cole is shipping the jacket back to the UK as we speak, so we need a final decision soon please. It will happily sit in pride of place in the office, or can live on

                The idea of auctioning it is nice. If we were voting that would be my choice.

                    I think @Giles @Alex and I will put our heads together when it is back in Gosport and make an announcement here then.

                      I dropped it of at the DHL store an hour ago, so it will be on its way tomorrow.

                            Now that is a fine looking jacket.

                                WOW! Dudes! Incredible evo! So cool, to have so many lifestyles imparted on one jacket. Well done 😎

                                  So it turns out this thread was started on 24.12.2017. It seems appropriate that just before xmas, @Giles @Alex and myself put our heads together and decided that all good things must come to an end, and that the end for this tour is now.

                                  While there is life in the jacket yet, and life in you guys too… rather than adding a leg here and a leg there, depending on who was able to, who wanted to, and who had the climate that allowed for it, we decided we should retire this beautiful peice of clothing with the dignity it, and your efforts the last three years, deserves.

                                  Three years though! The jacket has crossed the Atlantic many times, been all around the USA, from coast to coast and border to border (if my geography and knowledge of forum members home states serves). It has been shuttled around the UK and Germany and enjoyed quality time above the arctic circle, and it looks awesome.

                                  As for what to do with the jacket, it was forum funded. All tour members contributed a small portion of the cost (including Giles and Alex). As such it is forum owned. Giles, Alex and I felt that the most appropriate course of action was for IHUK to "buy" the jacket through a donation to a charity of their choice (@Giles can provide details of that at his lesuire). It will live out its days at IHUK in Gosport. @Alex has plans for showing it off in a manner befitting, again, he can update us on that when it is sorted out.

                                  I'd like to thank everyone who has been involved with this tour and this thread. Three years and 1231 posts is pretty great, but the photos and accounts that you have all contributed of where and how you live are what this tour was all about, and there is some fantastic content here. Well done everyone, you're all a credit to this place.

                                    Thank you, everyone, who was involved with this and thank you, Reuben, for herding cats  🙂

                                    We will sort out a charitable donation shortly.

                                    Events slightly took over our lives towards the end of last year and we have not sorted out any of our annual charitable donations yet.  I will sit down with @Madame Buttonfly and @Alex and sort it all out shortly.

                                    Thanks again.
