  1. CDP-555 Guitar Wolf.... 2 more months passed... have you guys ever seen such stubborn indigo? I think thats almost 7 months now, 3 washes, one was at 2 months, the others some time after.. thinking about doing another soon.. shitty phone cam pic... the fade is generally just an 'all over' fade in areas of wear, not really any whiskers or anything.. probably have something to do with the first wash at 2 months, after being soft, its hard to get pronounced wear on these

  2. Those are the Samurai options if there AREN'T enough people for a LTD (if I understand correctly)... so I'm guessing the best they'd do is maybe the brass buttons, an upside down 'A' and a Lot# (which I believe were the 'extras' on the first contest jean)

    And for Samurai, the 40400 are the natural indigo? $$ (and he said in the Hawaii denim)

    A mid-rise, long inseam Okinawa would have me.

    (that said... with BK's, and a contest jean... plus I think I'll want those 21oz 5000's... PG2G is right... an expensive year indeed... luckily I'm happy keeping most of my pairs happy and dark)

    40400n are sugar cane, the really streaky natural indigo ones

  3. damn, those are the options that we can have for samurai only, none of those are appealing to me

    and if we can only get SC40301N for SC thats not great either, cause okinawas are boring as hell, the only cool thing to do is bleed indigo all over the place.. I thought when you were saying okinawas it was the OTHER denim, the SC40400N denim

  4. once again, like people said and like I originally did, I dont get why beatle wont find out what Sammy is willing to do for us... seems strange to me, i appreciate her efforts, but this probably wont go anywhere unless she takes this step

    wouldnt it be worse and MORE embarassing if we all sign up, then it turns out to be an emo cut and you lose 95 of the votes? the first situation wouldnt be embarassing at all, its just inquiring

  5. Men's gold heels? I know they're Dior Homme and some people will defend them just because of that, but I don't think they look good. Only pimps can wear gold heels, and even they probably know how ridiculous they look.

    I cant see the back, but they arent HIGH heels are they?

  6. why is it that I was told in 5ep straight size 30 is the smallest size? I emailed 5EP directly

    thats one place they didnt go the extra mile imo

    -----------edit--------

    looks like they changed some of the sizing, i saw 28 in the low boot on revolve clothing.. 9.25 inch opening for a 28 waist though?. damn

  7. beatle, is there any way you can get the details from samurai? Tell them you are working on getting 100.. just by asking Im sure they wont be offended and tell you to go away until you get 100 signed up surely... Ask what they are willing to do for us

    Personally, I think a S5000VX in Texas Cotton would be cool too, but I have a feeling everyones not down for texan cotton anymore since its been done

    I really wanna see something like the PBJ XX-006 denim

  8. I think everyone decided that the fit has be regular to appeal to the masses, so I think thats pretty much such... If we are steering away from repro, then the rise should be mid, or low, not a high waisted pair like most repros. I think that alone would make a nice basic cut jean, then we can go nuts on selvedge colors, tabs, patches, lined pockets etc, oh and of course the denim

    also, i dont think this pair could possibly be really 'trendy', as hjj said.. I disagree with that... since its made in really small numbers, thats not really possible - unless its pre distressed with a serious boot cut or something

  9. can someone explain to me exactly what 'modern' means? from what Ive seen, all modern jeans are low rise (which is good), and either straight or boot cut

    Personally, Ive never liked the fit of repro fits because of the high waist and hip flare, so this could be perfect for me, a straight legged jean in low rise to be worn on the hips or something... of course it comes down to whether its gonna be in sammy, or in sugarcane

    PS: PURPLE SELVAGE <3

  10. this is awesome.. rep for the info on sugarcane

    seriously, everyone shows too much love for the 19cm and new standard though, I dont think 19cm cut or new standard appeals to everyone, especially if we want 100 (even though it probably wont be hard) I would prefer a more versatile 'straight leg cut' thats more modern with a lower rise... i think universally that would be best, can be sized up, down or right

    thats just my opinion

    either way, count me in, as long is its not based on 19cm or NS

  11. i'm not into the skinny leg trend so i looked around for some looser cuts. for raw japanese, check out:

    samurai s510xx

    skull s5000xx

    studio d'artisan sd-101 (same cut as the sd-201 mentioned above)

    sc1955

    these are all pretty much regular, straight leg fuller cuts. i wouldn't go much looser because too loose = poor wrinkles/combs

    this is half true, for whiskers loose jeans are generally better, for combs, they have a different shape and are usually less pronounced

  12. definitely dry bones guitar wolfs, cdp-555

    great pockets and a looser regular fit... they take FOREVER to fade though, almost 8 months and not that much fading (havent worn them alot though)

    ------------

    edit, I see you piced some up, chances are thats what you got cause i know take 5 sells them

  13. for that price might as well get a redmoon or wildswans, especially if people are making a custom wallet based on these models anyways... just my opinion

    cool concept though, if we can come up with something thats unique; but the way this thread is headed, we seem to be gravitating towards the basic thick saddle leather in a long wallet with a braid look

  14. I wish samurai would so something streaky like the eternal 10th anniversary, but thats cheap (like the eternal 10th), not like their natural indigo pair that was streaky but like $400

    I think is samurai could make something like the PBJ XX-006 denim that fades beautifully in their own denim, but like 15oz or something that would be amazing... a looser weave
