OK folks... there's still a good shot at getting our jeans in December... action is however needed please so we're primed and ready to go go go... Can all 26 contestants email Simone on [email protected] with the following information asap and no later than Sunday 1st December please Superfuture name Real name Address Telephone number Email address (yes, I know it's a duplication) Do you want your package insured? Any 'special' shipping requests he may be able to accommodate, like shipping value Simone will then match your Sufu ID, your jeans and you; plus provide a shipping cost, and a therefore final payment due. Once we get the final bill, we'll all need to pay immediately (via PayPal) to avoid shipping delays. Thankfully a shorter message than my last essay!!

On the Pioneer Zephyr in a Vanishing West 44 tux

66 black, size 31. I had no idea how versatile these would be. I slept on the black warp/white weft combo for way too long. Also, the cut of these is *chefs kiss*.

Finally picked up a pair of all black engineer boots after years of looking around, went with the Attractions lot 444. Got these from Japan, they still had size 12 in their most recent restock so figured I'd give them a try. Initial impressions are really good, they are so much easier for me to get on and off compared to my Lofgrens. The leather is pretty thick, will try to wear these daily now that the weather has cooled off.

Same Oshkosh jacket and Left Field jeans from my post yesterday, vintage ringer I just got a couple weeks ago, and Good Guys boots.

While you’re there - M11327: https://zenmarket.jp/en/auction.aspx?itemCode=k437808564 The seller also has a size 36 as well as this size 40.

Well ... currently .. my knockabout is a pair of VTD-0101SXX-JNS from A Vontade Probably the best fitting jeans I've tried from Japan tbh. I tend to think that Japanese jeans simply don't scale well into the larger sizes, 34 or 36 for example, for which I've a few personal views, but these for me have a much more Western oriented cut. My other pair, which will win no recognition here, is a pair of Millesimo from Velasca. Not selvedge, but still Candiani denim and well enough put together though I do miss the Japanese obsession with hardware. However, the fit beats all at the end of the day. Though the Candiani denim is a nice bonus.

Sleaford Mods. Finally got to see them live in Liverpool this weekend.

@frank Yes - thanks @CSL we'll send a reminder out when the final payment is due. Everyone will need to also give their Superfuture name, plus real name and address to Simone (in the PayPal payment if there free format text?) so he can make sure you all get the right jeans.

TCB Wool-Lined 50's Jacket johng mung denim AJ5 I don't think I've mentioned this before. This jacket was impossible for anyone to repair, so I repaired it myself. And I painted it.

Had a similar situation, I booked a campsite for two nights I thought. My boy and I on our annual biketrip. came back from a day out, there was a big ass tent squeezed on “our” spot. i was like I don’t care , but the big ass tent family were waving their booking. so when they didn’t pay attention I checked my reservation. Turns out I made a wrong booking. put the tail between my legs and moved our tent. me and my boy swapped clothes , to try and confuse Mrs smooth sailor. his oversized clothing fit me fine. my clothes fit him better than on me. next generation their turn

done

Had them hemmed by SoaS to 30” and after the first cold wash + hang dry they measure 29” in the inseam. Gave them the hot wash and a bit of time in the dryer and they’re still right around 29” inseam.

Hello contestants, Great news… Simone is on track to finish sewing all the jeans by the end of the coming week 👏 👏 👏… he will then sort out the patches… and over the past few days, Simone, @beautiful_FrEaK and I have been discussing exactly that... To date, Simone’s patches have been made using a rubber stamp. We think it looks cool, though the graphics are less sharp than on patches made using a foil stamp. So now Simone’s having a foil new stamp made for his standard (non-competition) jeans. Our current competition default is a rubber stamped patch. I asked if a foil stamp was an option. It is. However, there’s a one-off cost of 190 Euros which we can’t expect Simone to cover... noting we’re already getting a good deal. Therefore, if we want a foil stamped patch, we could split this cost 26 ways, which would mean an extra 7 Euros a person. @beautiful_FrEaK and I agree that it’s best to put this out there for a good ole Sufu vote… what could possibly go wrong 😉 ??!!! We could have stayed quietly rubber lipped, but imagine the guilt we’d have had to carry for the rest of our lives… To avoid production delays, we must make a decision by Tuesday 26th November. Polls will close at 18:00 GMT (UK time). OK… below are 3 options and proposed guidelines / rules… Options 1. The Sufu WoM contest patch, rubber stamp version – our current plan No extra cost Cool image, but less sharp than with a foil stamp. Perhaps this will look cooler 2. The Sufu WoM contest patch, foil stamp version Pay an extra 7 Euros each = about $7 = about £6. 190 Euros in total. Same cool image. We do not have a foil stamped patch example available to compare the difference v the rubber stamp. Only your imagination. Expected sharper resolution. 3. The WoM standard non-contest patch, foil stamp version. PLEASE NOTE: This is the NEW version below. No extra cost Expect sharper resolution It’s not exclusive to the competition Let’s keep the decision making process simple i.e. All contest jeans will have the same patch One vote per contestant (non contestants, no vote... we'll know 😉) Contestants vote for either option 1, 2 or 3 If contestants miss the deadline, then they lose their vote unfortunately. We want to avoid delays to Simone’s schedule. The winner is the option with the most votes by the deadline time i.e. 18:00 GMT (UK time) on Tuesday 26th November In the event of a tie, I’ll ask our lead judge Maynard to toss a coin to pick the winner If option 2 wins, and someone can’t make the extra cost, then please let me and Tilmann know by DM and we’ll discuss what to do If I’ve forgotten an important clause or condition... tough sh!t And if you’re still reading this and haven’t fallen asleep… you’re already a winner in my eyes Now I'm going to set up a poll and keep my fingers crossed it works... if it fails, we'll use DMs... let's see!

You’re this close to being banned for that comment @Geeman 😂

It's a detail that just isn't that appealing for me. Of course I have pairs with leg twist and get the whole 'backstory' to it, but not my preference would be no twist.

Thanks for the votes folks... time is up... Winner winner pizza dinner 🍕 Option 2 - The Sufu WoM contest patch, foil stamp version No objections received. Same patch for all. Extra $7 each. Sorry we had 4 contestants who missed out - we're up against it for time hence the deadline I'll update Simone...

@mlwdp happy 40th!! it's all uphill from here

Happy Birthday @mlwdp

Happy birthday @mlwdp! We’re of the same relative vintage. I hope your knees and ankles are holding up better than mine.

Happy birthday @mlwdp! I also see Minnie Riperton’s Adventures in Paradise up on @fabes wall… a great one!

Happy birthday @mlwdp!

1927 type 1 1900 504xx pullover 1922 jeans

German engineering, baby. Look at how little room I have in there for any wrenches lol. Changed my rear brakes, feeling good about it too since I didn't need to go to my dad for help for once. Rotors were toast and took a lot of PB Blaster, acetylene, and brute force to break free of the hub. Love road salt so much 😑. Also washed my jeans like 2 days ago because I wasn't thinking about having to do my brakes when I started the wash lol.

I'm planning on doing a side by side with the WoM and FW just to see how the end up looking by comparison.

I'm still not sure which one i'd like for xmas

Happy with the shrinkage. They are very stiff at the moment so look a bit weird but I believe they soften up quickly from what I've read here. I washed at 40 low spin but think I should get some more shrinkage in leg next wash. Waist is perfect. These feel like cardboard right now compared to my fullcounts

Same same Great Lakes x2 / Power Wear / Cane’s / Russell

contrastingly… still in the s. canes 47s (find them both a little too stiff and traditionalist even though top block is heaven) gorpametora hybriddin’ 80s iteration of m65 / decathalon petroleum n feathers (n actual warmth) / lvc type 1 (best thing they evrar made [that i bought…]) / sc / timbolando & trusty ortlieb

Almost kinda twins! FW Uplander. FW pocket tee. Boncoura. Lofgren.

Did a whole lot of framebuilding in my jeans, LVC 1901 made another cargobike and converted rimbrake frames to disc

WTS P24A-S SS18 xs/raf full pack 6/10 750 F&F+Shipped in USA add for international

Anyhow, here are the 220XX-47’s, about 2 months in. Suppose this is very topical given the discussion about fast fading! They are starting to look a lot like the Warehouse banner denim 🫠
