quick update,

was in Sweden, it was amazing as always. everyone over there is so good to me. they praise the very little Swedish i have and speak English. it snowed on paddy's day as we were leaving. it is such a beautiful country. i am having a good month, work is good fun at the mo as we are changing the whole store layout and i am a manager (proper now) instead of in training, which is awesome!!! I'm going to Glasgow in the first week of April! can't wait. and it's all good times.

thats the gist at the moment, more to come soon.

happy chocolate holiday! :)

finally did it.
anyone that has ever mention denim to me probably know i have these jeans.
so first you should check out nudie jeans. they are awesome. i think i have 6 pairs now. i got my Regular Ralf's (now called Alf) about two years ago. dry denim, selvage seam , regular fit with small kick of a bootcut. now the thing about dry denim, for those of you that don't know is, that you get to make them your own. nobody will have the same pair of Regular Ralf's as me. they are indigo denim , which is the living denim. so it will change with wear and washing.
what i finally did was i washed my jeans. now first off, i have not been wearing them for the last two years everyday! you are meant to wear them for six months before the first wash. basically the longer you wear them the more characteristics you get on your pair.
so i keep my wallet in my back pocket and i always have my cigarettes in my left front pocket and my phone, keys and change in my right front pocket.
have a look for yourself;

so the first ones are before i put them in the wash, front and back and then front and back pockets (there is nothing in them) then after the wash front and back and i have put in photos of what they looked like when they were new, these are new jeans, slightly different fit called Average Joe, pretty much the same fit except without the bootcut. i have worn them once.
