@Broark did you cave in already? 😉

Now, the long and boring wait begins. May it be filled with unnecessary purchases.

She's a genie indeed 😅

She is already born mate 😅😉 Thanks!

Looks really better than the contest pair back then.

Actually just one hand that depends on when the new SC1945 is really released. Already pre-ordered them some months ago. I just found it interesting that this worn-in pair from the book and the deadstock pair the 1943 model is based on are actually made at the same time and both survived the time.

Do it!

I bought these several weeks earlier. @julian-wolf I'll go with a W36 in the WMJ contest. That's the healthier size I need to go back to and to fit all my other jeans comfortably.

The 1947...a classic

I feel attacked. I think I have to ban you now

Why should I? 😅

Thanks for compiling and reposting the shrink data! In terms of sizing, in this contest we have way more info than on the other contest I remember. I might go with a W36 again...motivation to shed some lbs and thus keep fitting all the other jeans I own 😅

Hope it's still your size!

Makes you wonder if they are really vintage and not just made by Sugarcane to then make a repro of it. Something CSF was "accused" to do at one point over on the...other forum... 😅

I might have missed that or must be stupid but these #23 jeans from the Levi's 501 book have oddly familiar pocket bags (sorry if it has been posted before) Besides Sugarcane and CSF, the Chinese repro brand Mobilization also uses this pattern.

Definitely! No mandatory monthly check in. Post whenever you feel like doing it (best: daily).

Hello again 👋 Simone is working on some more detailed description of all the models available for this contest so it will be easier for you guys to decide! Apart from the customisation listed earlier (e.g. hidden rivets on the 311 optional), there will be no customisation or non-period correct details, e.g. herringbone twill pockets bags on the 5150. Let's wait and see what he works out! Of course, it's an old-school Sufu contest and the action plays here. However, if you are active on Instagram and want to promote this contest and Simone's work, we suggest the following three hashtags: #massproductionsucks #notmadetolast #sufuwmjcontest

@Double 0 Soul what a stunner! (the bike obviously)

...even if it's just the pocket bags 😉

I go with a 37 in the contest pair. Shrink to 34 and stretch from there to (hopefully only 35") 36"

Happened twice now on my pair, so yes. It can be done. Don't want to do it on my contest pair though.

A little update. 2 spots open. Please comtact MJF9 or me if you are missing your name on the list!

A little update before I go quiet: This contest will be judged by a crème de la crème of Sufu guys. We will announce them soon. We still have open spots to join but a special person will join as well (the person above is the special person). More important dates will be communicated later.

Thanks guys! Mother and child are both well and will leave the hospital tomorrow (or rather I will pick them up). Baby/dad fades will certainly happen 😉 I will go with the 1942 version he offers. One size up from my 411. If anyone has questions, please ask them here in this thread. Simone is watching it 😉 and @MJF9 will pick it up with him.

And stretched again out to 36"... I think not 3 weeks yet?!
