Regarding contest duration there is a strong indication for 18 months. I will let the poll open though. Next topic will probably be the denim we want to use. We will reject the option of Proximity Mill denim. Although Simone was already in contact with them before this idea was brought up, using their denim would increase the costs significantly (high price for the denim, shipping costs and customs fees). So we will run with a denim, acquired from/through Collect Mills.

UES - WoM - Vans

Yeah i think it is wearing them wet and rubbing the wet denim. I think he posted this at one point.

Also the name of his studio, Simone told me.

Added a poll about the duration of the contest

I thought about this as well but then we have seen plenty of versions of this specific 42 model Each contestant can chose his/her preferred cut, so to please most people. But then, check the size charts, the models aren't widely different. The denim will be the same for all, of course. Details of the jeans will depend on the model you take. Custom patch for all, no arcs.

Watch the first post guys, I will update it with more information soooooon! Edit: and done! More info about the possible denim will follow!

So far 21 people have voiced their interest! Of course, the final count will depend on details, price and the like. Simone is in the middle of nowhere right now, but he told me he is following this thread closely. So he sees all your requests and remarks. Still, I try to channel this through me directly to him. Be warned though, in the next 1-2 weeks we are awating our second child which means, I might be less available for some time Point we are discussing so far: which denim we will use will we allow all available cut? (my vote would be 'yes' so we can please everyone) which details should be customizable for the contestants? (Simone does everthing on his own so he is totally flexible but we have to see how much this impacts the production, costs and possible risk to mix something up) pizza shaped arcs (if possible, then optinal I think) and custom patch price

@dum_surfer I have several fit pics across the board of both but unfortunaley they are at different weights... If you fear the 711 will be too small, just buy a bigger size The different rise has a big impact. 1946 in W34 and I am heavier 711 in W34 and I am slimmer

Not wanting to say anything wrong bit I think he can accommodate to such a request (thinking about this as well).

They are raw. And the final result will of course differ based on the denim used in the end

No idea how much the denim from Proximity Mill actually costs, but seeing the asking price of the brands using it makes me think we will be far far north of 300$...

Updated with size charts (sorry for the quality, Sufu made it blurry. Click on them) Currently we are discussing a possible denim, a custom patch and other details and yes...we are also talking price. Stay tuned!

Since WoM has a 30s, a 40s and a 50s cut...would you mind everyone can take his preferred fit with the details and only the denim would be the same?

It's rather new to Simone. Denim No.2 is Simone's "standard" denim where he has the most experience with.

Payment will be 50% on order, rest when the jeans are finished. This will allow him to book the denim (before production) and to offer also embossed labeled buttons for all models except WWII version.

Okay, I will create a pre contest thread where we can gather possible contestants and possible ideas and see where this will take us.

I've contacted Simone and Word of Mouth has it, that WoM would be interested in doing a contest. I would talk about possibilities first. If there is enough interest

I talked with another member: A 1942 contest with the same denim would allow for slightly different fits, wildly different details and even cinch and no-cinch

In this day and age, I think it really ould only be suitable with a small maker. Sufu is not big enough anymore to get a big crowd joining. TCB said they would like to do a contest and the ones were quite big and interesting. That said a brand like Rockets, WoM, Sakura Overalls, Slash Overalls or Rebuilt would have a nicer touch and would give those small makers some more time on the denim stage. I could contact WoM and ask if he would be interested (if he hasn't already read the forum by now ). The only fear: for the "n" numbers of possible participants we will have "n+1" preferred versions of the jeans

Runabout x Ed Hardy

@AlientoyWorkmachine still a big fan of the UES jacket? Who remembers this t-shirt? 😅

IIRC, yes. But you can easily cut it, if it bothers you

Well, there are certainly people out there liking this fit. But probably not many from Sufu

LVC jeans now at 320 € at the German Levi's website (but hey, you can get them with 25% right now). That's really crazy
