Jacket! %100, that thing is boss as hell. If I wasn't completely broke I'd just buy one, but, since I'm completely broke I'll have to wait. That is assuming I don't win! :-)

Hey team!

Here's my final photos. I really like these jeans, they faded beautifully and are very comfortable. I had to make some repairs, but I think they still developed nicely. :-)

I'm working on it, I need to upload the pics to my computer. I'll get em up real soon

haha thanks spidereye and HGS,

I laughed at this, I thought it was hilarious.

Hey guys, what's up.

Here are my buddy's ROY OGs. Worn almost nonstop since he got them, which was pretty early on for ROY, it still has the regular overlock fly detail, before the shell stitching. I have the same pair just a little larger, but it hasn't been worn as much.

My buddy doesn't really get into the whole wear 'em without washing them thing, so these guys have been washed a whole lot, but have also gotten a whole lot of love. They look great in person. This was right before I patched his knee for him.

Hi all, recently my top button ripped off. So I kind of cut around the rivet thingy it left, and stitched over the hole a little for reinforcement. Then I sewed on a button I was going to use on a shirt I'm making (I won't miss it). The blue looks weird on the jeans, but since it's always covered by my belt it's no big deal. Here are pictures of my progress:

Thanks for the compliments, they are the 18oz model, I got them from BiG maybe 2 years ago, but they were in rotation with some other jeans so only about 10-12 months of actual wear, and about 3 or 4 washes.

So here are some pics of my progress, I think I've gotta wash em now, because they smell like death.

I had to make a couple of repairs, and then repair my repairs, I was thinking of patching those holes on the pocket, but they don't seem to be ripping open any more than they already are.

Hey Rodeo Bill, can you post some pictures of the shirt design and the guard jacket, I'm especially interested in the pockets on the shirts. No sites have very good pictures of how they look. Are they meant to be hand pockets? Thanks in advance!

Dunno if this has been posted before, but it's definitely worth watching, very cool.

I thought the explanation of the stitching in the waistband/snob's thumb pocket was really interesting.

I love Tender Co. the bark tanned leather is amazing, and the natural dyes are really impressive, here's some pics of my belt and pouch:

When I first handled the belt I was instantly impressed by the quality of the leather and I thought, "the second tender comes out with a wallet I will buy it" and this season my dream came true and my tender wallet should arrive next week. If anyone is on the fence about buying a belt in particular from Tender, do it. You will never find a better belt. Ever.

I also really want the logwood purple Guards jacket, but I don't know if I'll be able to afford it :-/

We'll see, my addiction tends to pull through in the end anyway.

Not a lot of actual evo pics in this thread.

I love my oni's, have had them for about 1.5yrs. Here's a couple pics:

I only have an iphone so they're pretty crappy, but I can make some more if people want.

Beautiful pictures Clegg.

Here's some pics of the denim, it's getting kind of destroyed, I may need to patch even more than I already have.

Hey, sorry for the infrequent updates from your friend Festival, I've been very busy.

I went to Germany for a while, here's Aachen:

Karl the great himself, though I guess they call him charlemagne here? Maybe

This is the newly cleaned up and sparkling new Aachener Dom. It's really beautiful after they fixed it up (and before too, but a little sootier)

I'll get some pics of my pants up when I can, they're looking nice :-)

So here are some late and crappy iphone fit pics, I'm working on finding my camera atm, I'm sure it'll turn up soon. :-/

Hello gentlemen,

Recieved my jeans on the 2nd, sorry for the late post, but I was a little busy.

I'll post fit pics when I have time, here's my newspaper shot, confirming my start date.

On the idea of the staggered start: I would vastly prefer it. I would prefer not to receive my jeans and then have to wait until everyone gets organized to wear them. If it matters we can always accommodate it, whether it be separate end dates based on when we receive the jeans, or whatever.

Just my 2 cents,

-Festival

So I emailed Ande about the contest, because I was still interested in taking part, and I may have shot myself in the foot a little, because I was #21 on the list, and he says he can make 20 pairs tops lol, but here's what he said:

Hi Rob,

How are you mate. Cheers for the e-mail, i'm really happy to be back in action after a terrible year!

Yeah I'm not sure what to do about the contest sales now, I was just going to open it up in the webstore, but don't want any original Sufu guys to miss out? Maybe we should start a new list on Sufu, so it's all locked in. Some in the initial line up might want to pull out etc.

Let me know what you think?

Hi Ande Whall!

Glad to see you're back

I was on the old contest list, (I'm festival on Sufu) and just read that there may be a new list forming. I just wanted to say that I'm still very interested in the contest, and if there is in fact a new contest list being put together, I'd love to be on it.

Thanks in advance!

I'm still excited for the contest, and I'm totally still in if it's happening!

Grats Ande, I'm glad you recovered so quickly!

Hey, so I'm relatively new here, but I ordered these from Unionmade not too long ago, they're basically new, only thing is I gave em a cold soak out of the box. They were a little big when I ordered them and they stretched after I wore them for a week, the measurements are

35 waist

36 inseam

I was looking to get $300 for them and I'll ship for free, or if someone has a size 3 I'd be down to trade

So in this picture they look sort of faded, it's just the light though, plus apparently the dying already added some wierd looking fades to it out of the box.

I'm in.

I'm looking for the slim straight cut, but the japanese is hard to navigate...

EDIT: I like these 2
