You must be badass bringing jeans on tour. I shed a tear when I admitted to myself that my gorgeous jeans are way too heavy and space consuming to bring. I'm thinking of buying a pair of linnen trousers to bring since they are ultalight and pack very small. Jeans would probably also be way too hot in the summer in France and Spain. I haven't yet decided about shoes though, as they are also bulky and might be heavy. I could bring some light running shoes but they look like shit, especially when I wear them on my huge feet under my skinny brown legs in shorts.. I doubt that flip-flops will be enough for a longer tour so I have to back both the flip-flops (which come very light and thin) and a pair of comfortable lightweight shoes to wander around in.
