Lostinthesupermarket, and therefore that song, are Irish, so yes, it is a WTF kind of thing.

Great pics roy6 - make me want to live in San Fran even though I'm not gay!!!

What's the big dome building?

Wait, I think everyone here is a MF fanboy. Or fangirl. Fanbros.

He's the skinnier fellow.

Well, lostinthesupermarket gets a pass, at least, since he's so busy touring with his band.

Is no one going to ask me what band he's in?

WINNING MATTERS.

And if some asswipe who barely posted wins I'll be pissed.

I think robbie was probably joking around here, and encouraging said slackers to post some pics. Since we'll all be voting on the final five contestants to submit to the judges (is that right dkatz?), everyone will get their say. Since the judges probably won't have followed the thread as closely as we have, maybe that is the time to reward the "intangibles", those qualities the contestants brought to the contest which you wouldn't see just looking at the jeans.

Speaking of the judges, the lineup has changed slightly:

Carl Chiara (formally of Levi's/LVC)

Ralphe Tharpe (formerly of Cone)

ringring (currently of ringing)

and...

(drumroll)

Christophe Loiron (of Mister Freedom).

Mr. Chiara and Mr. Loiron were gracious enough to participate, and I imagine they both know a well worn pair of jeans when they see one. They both looked through the thread and had nice things to say about the jeans and their respective journeys.

Mr. Tharpe hasn't confirmed yet, but if he can't do it Roy will.

With some of the contestants you might want to check to see if they're still alive. It's been a while since many of those guys posted.

Well, lostinthesupermarket gets a pass, at least, since he's so busy touring with his band.

It's the journey that makes these jeans interesting. So best stories + best looking pair = win. At least in my book.

Have I related my billionaire hot tub sex party story yet?

rnrswitch and almostnice may not vote for themselves. Everyone else may.

Hey afusmc, no, the loons are definitely warm weather pants, and I haven't been able to give them any love at the mo. I am hoping to wear them regularly to work next summer/fall. Or maybe I'll start wearing them on top of another pair, olde west style. Yours?

^I like it too, Daniel. You're in charge of the voting process, says I.

We should emerge with 5 finalists to submit to the celebrity judges, who are actually:

Carl Chiara, who started and ran LVC for some time

Ralphe Tharpe (possibly, or failing him then Roy S.), who worked at Cone for some time and who we all owe a "thank you"

& ringring, Ringring is ringring.

In memorium to Sufu 4.0, and to utilize the (as I see it) one good feature of Sufu 5.0, the elimination of the 10 char rule, I will complete my leg of the tour in less than 10 characters. Starting now.

Hi,

Can anybody says me something about these jackets?

Are they LVC or old Red Tab or fake?

Thanks!

First two don't look like commercial releases, but they could be LVC samples. Any interior tags? The third jacket is the "Our Baby" jacket from 2004 or 05.

None of the LVC models are really that close to the modern 501 cut, unless you go out to the '83 model. '55 has a huge ass, '47 has a roomy seat but really tight thighs, '44 has huge thighs. Maybe a sized down '37 would be closest? Plus a bonus- the cinch.

Dude at the gun show selling hand-made belts cut from saddle leather. $20 a pop! Nice and chunky.

I'm in for the swap!

Illumin8em, sorry to hear about that. You would have done them justice. Don't give up entirely, though. Shipping to/from Italy is the worst, hands down, and things can turn up randomly many months later.
