oohh AN

lol...wtf does the 1953 world series have to do with jeans? it doesn't need to be a direct reference.

perhaps remove the lot and sz? instead &CO..put 0105?

thats a nice start though poop.

that patch violates trademarks....

someone mentioned '53 yankees....

they did beat the brooklyn dodgers that year in the world series.

TWO NY teams in the WORLD series. just some ideas for the patch. i suck as designing.

world series logo? ring? commissioner's trophy?

a play on the words "world series"? something mentioning that this contest is worldwide/international?

how about something baseball oriented?

owner did say that fullcount is a reference to 3 balls and 2 strikes in baseball

lol. sorry dp. i've been following this thread post by post i totally misread what you posted and thought you were just talking about their 1920 jeans.

everyone should add in their list of customizations that they want.

i want:

-hidden arcs(or hidden whatever on the back pockets)

-reinforced crotch

-BIG, SQUARE front pocket bags. i hate those slanted pockets. everything you put in slide towards the middle and it fades retarded. i need space for lots of things.

-poly core cotton threads....i want these jeans to last.

cant think of anything else right now.

lol. im getting ahead of ourselves right now.

thank dp and mr. invinciple for their time and efforts in the creation of this contest.

looks like SCs are outta the picture now.

its between FC and SDA. we will be needing a new poll.

lol..is it gonna even be a competition if we can customize the FCs?

one thing that a lot of people seem to have forgotten is....what is this new denim that FC is gonna be using like? we have no info on it at all. we dont even know what it looks like!

i really do wish that gordon would get into talks with SDA. it would AT LEAST give us a second option.

lol..calm down guys..i just thought that people who would want a more full cut jean wouldnt have a waist size that small. i retract my statement.

but thanks for that info on Bears.

Gordon was going to talk to SDA but he decided not to so that he doesn't need to get into negotiations with both and then have choose one over the other in the end.

FC will be customized, SDA won't.

I am disappointed to hear that. We might as well move forward with the FCs.

One thing that I am concerned about are the sizes. I believe that most people who are in this contestants are more on the heavy side than most of SuFu. I see that that they only go up to size 36. Perhaps we can eliminate size 28 and 29 all together? I don0't want to get ahead of myself. We will have to see what Gordon will be able to do.

Was there a mention of a prize or not?

DP - Has gordon said anything else about the SDAs?

I did also did vote for the SDAs first...but with this new FC info..i am reconsidering.

We need more details on the SDAs. then we can have a final poll between the FCs and the SDAs.

this is pretty fucking great.

already a setback.

just vote for the sdas people!!

DP....are we still having a leepro contest or not?

this is what i mean. people will buy them elsewhere for cheaper. you can say let them buy it elsewhere..but if not enough people buy it from selfedge or another sponsor...we won';t be able to get the discount.

a reminder to all future contestants..if we do buy from a sponsor..there could very well be a prize for you. that's the only difference i see.

and will some of g\you guys speak up on your opinion of self edge?

^lol. same for me.

but what still isnt clear to me is...even with the low amount of people voting for 45's....we're still gonna do a contest with the 45's?

I thank you for all the kind support,but I do not mind if Kiya can provide us a even cheaper discount, then that will work wonderfully, but then I am not sure if we'll get a prize through Kiya since I have been working with the rep from Sugar Cane. As of now, I haven't really worked up with the details of ordering with the representative, who shall remain nameless, but I do like to get to know him a little more before any further decisions are made (for security and etc, etc.) As of now, things are going smoothly, although I haven't heard from him for awhile, probably going through the prizes. I guess we should talk more about this when the polls are finished?

Also, ooh An, if you can provide a place that you know of that gives a better discount, by all means, do tell. Also, make sure they can provide up to 50+ contestants.

will it be a 1947v1945 ? or a 1945 vs FC 1105? Looking at the polls, both 1947 and the FC 1105 are in the lead, but the 1945 isn't a that popular? is there something wrong? do we need another Lee repro jeans? its like a 3v1 battle and both levis repro has the highest vote counts. Is it going to be a Levis' contest after all? or...a BIG vs. SE :x

Anyways, I still feel kind of disoriented a little with all this jargon.

whoops. but the thing is that why would people buy the 47s through you if they can get it elsewhere cheaper? i can get a pair on ebay for like 120.

for the 45s i would understand. and perhaps we should explore kiyas offer? we shouldnt rule it out just yet.

it does look that there is no way that the 45s are gonna win this poll...but i dont know what denim phenom is planning to do. and a 47 vs. a another levi repro would be stupid.

a 47 contest alone would be dull. at this point, i think it should either be the sdas alone or the fullcounts alone.

i have but i returned them because i felt that they were too straight.. yes, i know theyre not as slim as the warehouse contests.

i see todays 501 fit as regular. and we all know that the 501 47 's/ replicas are a slimmer version of 501s.

here are the measurements for the FC1105. granted it is the natural indigo version, but i would imagine that the fit is the same. dont quote me though.

denim phenom...correct me if i'm wrong... We are DEFINITELY having a LEEPRO contest. and maybe another levis repro contest? if we are..i do agree with whoever said that it should be a 47 VS 45 contest.

and that discount that mr. invicible has been gracious to work for is not that much of a discount. they can be found for 25%-30% cheap elsewhere.

and i do have to say that if you look at all the other contests that there have been, most jeans were worn to the ground before the 1 year mark came up. this is why i think that sda's would be a good choice. people think that they're too hard to fade....but that's just even better.

and not to add even more chaos into this..but have we discarded plongin's jeans?

why are the 47's in the poll? yes i know people want them...but theyre fucking STRAIGHT/SLIM. how hard is it not to understand this? it goes against the whole idea od this whole fucking contest.

and why the hell would there be TWO contests? thats just retarded. i voted for sdas btw. someone should post those leepros again. they make your ass stupid WIDE.

another vote for SDA 101 then...seems to be EXACTLY what we were going for.

so no one wants to try the thai denim? yall some pussies. yall claiming yall wannna try something different...but all i see is that yall want some established japanese denim..a slim/straight fit at that too.

wtf are you talking about? hard wear produces wear. its just cotton, not steel wool.

hard wear produces wear? o'rly? i did not know that. i thought hard wear would mean no wear at all.

these jeans have shoddy construction and that's it. crotch blowouts in a couple months? even nudies aren't that bad.

that's some shoddy construction.

help me please guys? i neeed some info on these jeans...and maybe a recommendation of one which i should get if yall want. i'm a true size 40 waist.

is it no.1 no.2? will they shrink? and if yall know..are they gonna br larger or smaller than tagged size?

So no definitive answer, and I don't know how Thai denim is today...sooooo, this whole point could be moot.

yea. no defiinitve answer onthe OE or ringspun.

first one is a guess. tony doesnt say itss thai or anthing..and minya...another guess..

it think its gonna come down to price.

^i dont get it...from what i read.. seems like thai selvage is actually ringspun? 99% of selvedge denim is ringspun.

isnt this what we want?

so even with the poll.....you're deciding to go with a lee repro? what the hell was the poll for then? you can see how much more people want levis. like 3 people have voted for lees in the past 3 days compared to like 20 for levis.

it's stupid to have a contest with two jeans, two cuts, two different types of denim.

NOT a good look. it doesnt even make your ass look big. just WIDE.

1101 are still slim.

^ I guess I am ok with both, but the SDA-101 (according to BiG) they are a relaxed fit?

aren't we trying to score a straight fit?

I will post any news when I get some. and of course, people should post suggestions if they are/were interested.

and were going for a prize

if we don't get a custom jeans, i guess that's ok.

rofl. straight fit? reread the title smart guy.

the fullcount 1108/1101 measurements seem slim/straight to me. compare it to the warehouse 660 measurements. i thought these were the exact kind of jeans we were trying to avoid? It is also shrink to fit denim...thus making the jeans even more slim after a wash. 1105 seems good to me though.

SDA 101 is a lot more in tune of the regular/relaxed jean that we are looking for. and for all the people complaining that it will take too long to fade them...just look at othe contest jeans...most become washed out in less than a year.

But if you guys just want to totally deviate from the fit that we had in mind originally...count me out. We'll be no different from the other slim/straight contests.

plongin...posts pics of before and after if you can of those swatches.
