is it too late to add my name to the list? id love to finally participate in one of these contests (as ive missed the boat the past two years).

ive been waiting for a contest like this because straight non slim denim fits me better... im down for whatevers

i started reading sf right before the sammy contest and missed the warehouse one...im DEFIANTLY in for this one...

i actually just got a pair of the eco 501 STF's for a birthday gift and just started wearing them. the rise on them is definately lower (4 buttons instead of 5). the denim is far from stiff, and the indigo seems to be wearing in pretty fast. ill post pics as soon as i have a digi cam to use...

anyone have any experience with these? these are the eco 501's with the green selvedge from the Capital E line. i just recieved a pair for xmas and just wondering if anyone knows how these will break in compared to LVC 47's and such... oh i am also wondering if these are sanforized or not?

^^^

im quite interested in those purple selvedge H&M's....plz PM me with a price.... hopefully we can work something out.

heres a pair of Gap straight leg selvedge i picked up in January, these arent the Goughs or the Morrisons. These are the ones that came out after those two. I wore these about everyday for the first two months, maybe 2-3 times a week the month after that. Now im back to wearing them almost everyday. I havent seen anyone post these yet so tell me guys what you think...

ill post more pics in the morning when there is better light...

oh i forgot to mention, those pics are from 2 days of wear...just to give you guys an idea...

thanks for the comments....i liked how the goughs fit on me...but i sure am enjoying these a lot more...

Fyi, i had to size down to a 32 with my Goughs(im a 33 in 501 stf's), but with these free spirits i had to size down to a 31 to get them to not fit baggy. I probobly could have gone with a 32, but i know these are going to stretch so i went with the 31.

heres a couple pics of the new straight rigid's with the blue selvedge from this season...the tag inside says that these are called the "free spirits". They look to be the same cut as the straight rigid's online with the same red selvedge as the morrisons, but i perfer the blue selvedge.

i asked this earlier, its not rust...its the sizing/startch that Gap uses on these jeans...the same thing happened to my Goughs when i soaked them...

you sure they werent the straight rigid that i talked about with the blue selvage? i know that someone posted the straight rigid from gap.com and they came with the red selvege like the morrisons, but the ones i purchased in store have a blue selvege.

just to let everyone know...the new straight rigid with the blue slevedge are on sale this weekend for 25% off... i picked up a pair, and they seem a bit baggier in the thighs but slightly more tappered at the ends

those are the "rigid" ones of gap.com correct? is the denim similar to the Gough denim or the Morrison denim? because ive been wearing my Goughs for almost a month and i have A LOT of fading going on already and i love it.

thanks for the quick answer...hmmm maybe its time for a light startching then, they do feel a bit softer than before...

i've soaked my Gough's twice now....and when i soak them....they bleed a wierd dark yellow color......whats up with that?!

I just got them in the mail yesterday. Denim looks/feels nice. Nice rigidity. Love the color. I lke the Gap straight fit...fits my body well.

While the website just says high quality denim and makes no mention of selvage, the selvage seams are just like the $98 morrisons.

I had a 30% off coupon thanks to Zelah, so I scored them for just 48.

id love to see pictures of what these jeans look like in comparison to my Goughs... also did these have the colorful pockets like the 498 Morrisons or just plain pockets just like the Goughs?

ive been wearing my Goughs for a week straight, and im already getting some nice crotch fades and some nice fades on the whiskers.... when i get a camera i will try to post pics...

has anyone seen these in store yet? im curious to see how these fit....

for $70 (or $50 this weekend with the coupon) these jeans are FAR from being shit....

After a quick wear on tuesday, a long cold water soak on wednesday, ive been wearing these things like crazy ever since. This is my first pair of selvedge denim let alone Japanese denim, and im loving it. I went from regular everyday 501xx STFs to these and there is no comparison. These things feel like they are going to wear in a lot nicer than the STFs not to mention just plain FEEL nicer while wearing. I know these arent Samurais by any means, but id love to see people posting the progress of the wearing fo these jeans.

wow, they definately do look better without the white patch. and FYI the Gough's are now on sale for $69.99 and floating around the net is a 30% Freinds and Family coupon at Gap this weekend......

heres the link to the coupon:

i just finished soaking my Gough's for a little over two hours in cold water, i put a hanger in the waist to try and control the shrinking because the waist was pretty alright. I was just looking for shrinkage in the length a little bit, and trying to get rid of as much bagginess as possible. I'll give you guys an update as soon as they finish drying...
