The Knights in White Denim Tour -AKA The White Trash Tour…

[Megatron1505]

You've done the Whites proud Graeme, great leg/ updates.

[Graeme]

I've been knocked down by a nasty cold that's been doing the rounds here in London, so haven't been up to much. However, I did receive my entry for the HWDC.

They're a pair of the Eight-G stupidly heavy 28 or 30 oz jeans (depending on who you ask). They're not as nice as the Whites, and don't seem as well finished.  If Iron Heart are engineered, these are bashed out in a Brunellian fashion.

In the eternal battle between legs and shuttle-loomed fabric I fear that there will be only one winner. Anyone willing to offer a wager on my legs?

I hold Megatron entirely responsible. Something about wanting to see the EightGs in the Contest…

Suddenly these seem a much better idea.

@emceeQ:

Loving the updates and all the interesting architecture/places

One last one for you then emceeQ, this is St. James's Palace, which is one of the official residences of the Queen. The gatehouse tower is Tudor, so dating from the Sixteenth century.

[Graeme]

This is Goldhawk Road in Shepherd's Bush, which is nothing much to look at. In fact, it's generally slightly run down looking.

Only halfway along it there's an Aston Martin shop…

The second of these is the V12 Zagato. That's a particularly rare beastie.

@Graeme:

I really need more guitars, tattoos and rock 'n' roll in my leg of the Knights in White Denim tour…

This is Denmark Street. Those of you suffering from Guitar Acquisition Syndrome, look away now…

[elclintor]

yeaaaaahhhh!

[Graeme]

@madmonday:

i would like to make a request for more pics of the denim.  really curious to see what they look like at this stage of the game.

I'll get some together in the next day or two.

They're holding up well, but there aren't the fades you get on an indigo pair. Rather they're accumulating stains as they go.

[Graeme]

As promised, pictures. Apologies for the quality, as this was taken with a cheap point-and-shoot and an improvised tripod.

The jeans themselves are in good condition. They've picked up stains, but don't appear to be wearing through anywhere. I don't know how much use they've had, but I've put about a month's worth on them.

The waist has stretched out to 38". It might have shrunk back again after being washed.

[grandmasterben]

Great fit! And I absolutely LOVE how that patch looks against the bright white. So perfect.

[RedStripe]

great leg Graeme, I'm a Londoner (living in the outskirts now) and you're making me want to buy a travel card and go for a stroll 

[Graeme]

Glad you've enjoyed the leg.

Redstripe, if you're that close to the smoke then it'd be rude not to take a look.

I'm thinking that it's looking like Jii's turn about now…

[RedStripe]

I know Graeme  :), I used to live in Hackney and took the closeness to everything for granted; now I'm languishing in suburbia and it sucks the life out of you

[Graeme]

Sign up for a leg of a tour in that case, and then you've got an excuse to do something…

I think that if I'd had the Whites in a month or two's time then things could have been more exciting. Then again, I was through to the second round of a job in Sydney just before Christmas, which would have made for a somewhat different leg.

[Graeme]

A hog in Kendal.

By way of explanation.

[Graeme]

Hey Jii, tag, you're it!

And that's all folks!

[Finn666]

thanks a lot for that brilliant leg graeme…super well done and by now, i really believe these are way too big on me, so my drop out was the right thing to do!

[Graeme]

Glad you enjoyed it Rafa.

If you fancy doing a leg, then drop Jii a PM. He was keen to have them for the end of March, so you could potentially get the April slot.

But they have stretched out a bit. I think that they were up to 38" when I checked, and were feeling a bit loose on me.

[elclintor]

This thread needs more beard, yo.

[Graeme]

And more tattoos. I failed badly on both fronts.
