Pokey Lafarge live at Leeds Irish Centre last Friday, ably supported by the Tailspins. Always a great show.

@Blueass love that... looks great there too

OK folks... there's still a good shot at getting our jeans in December... action is however needed please so we're primed and ready to go go go... Can all 26 contestants email Simone on [email protected] with the following information asap and no later than Sunday 1st December please Superfuture name Real name Address Telephone number Email address (yes, I know it's a duplication) Do you want your package insured? Any 'special' shipping requests he may be able to accommodate, like shipping value Simone will then match your Sufu ID, your jeans and you; plus provide a shipping cost, and a therefore final payment due. Once we get the final bill, we'll all need to pay immediately (via PayPal) to avoid shipping delays. Thankfully a shorter message than my last essay!!

@frank Yes - thanks @CSL we'll send a reminder out when the final payment is due. Everyone will need to also give their Superfuture name, plus real name and address to Simone (in the PayPal payment if there free format text?) so he can make sure you all get the right jeans.

Please see the poll thread for the results...

Thanks for the votes folks... time is up... Winner winner pizza dinner 🍕 Option 2 - The Sufu WoM contest patch, foil stamp version No objections received. Same patch for all. Extra $7 each. Sorry we had 4 contestants who missed out - we're up against it for time hence the deadline I'll update Simone...

@mlwdp happy 40th!! it's all uphill from here

One for the Van Halen 5150 boys...

@fabes liking your backdrop there... nice seating... and curious about the photos which look interesting

The poll seems to have left out option 3. If any of the mods can fix it, grazie If it's unfixable, and you want option 3, don't vote above... just DM me and @beautiful_FrEaK please. Grazie EDIT - Fixed!

Hello contestants, Great news… Simone is on track to finish sewing all the jeans by the end of the coming week 👏 👏 👏… he will then sort out the patches… and over the past few days, Simone, @beautiful_FrEaK and I have been discussing exactly that... To date, Simone’s patches have been made using a rubber stamp. We think it looks cool, though the graphics are less sharp than on patches made using a foil stamp. So now Simone’s having a foil new stamp made for his standard (non-competition) jeans. Our current competition default is a rubber stamped patch. I asked if a foil stamp was an option. It is. However, there’s a one-off cost of 190 Euros which we can’t expect Simone to cover... noting we’re already getting a good deal. Therefore, if we want a foil stamped patch, we could split this cost 26 ways, which would mean an extra 7 Euros a person. @beautiful_FrEaK and I agree that it’s best to put this out there for a good ole Sufu vote… what could possibly go wrong 😉 ??!!! We could have stayed quietly rubber lipped, but imagine the guilt we’d have had to carry for the rest of our lives… To avoid production delays, we must make a decision by Tuesday 26th November. Polls will close at 18:00 GMT (UK time). OK… below are 3 options and proposed guidelines / rules… Options 1. The Sufu WoM contest patch, rubber stamp version – our current plan No extra cost Cool image, but less sharp than with a foil stamp. Perhaps this will look cooler 2. The Sufu WoM contest patch, foil stamp version Pay an extra 7 Euros each = about $7 = about £6. 190 Euros in total. Same cool image. We do not have a foil stamped patch example available to compare the difference v the rubber stamp. Only your imagination. Expected sharper resolution. 3. The WoM standard non-contest patch, foil stamp version. PLEASE NOTE: This is the NEW version below. No extra cost Expect sharper resolution It’s not exclusive to the competition Let’s keep the decision making process simple i.e. All contest jeans will have the same patch One vote per contestant (non contestants, no vote... we'll know 😉) Contestants vote for either option 1, 2 or 3 If contestants miss the deadline, then they lose their vote unfortunately. We want to avoid delays to Simone’s schedule. The winner is the option with the most votes by the deadline time i.e. 18:00 GMT (UK time) on Tuesday 26th November In the event of a tie, I’ll ask our lead judge Maynard to toss a coin to pick the winner If option 2 wins, and someone can’t make the extra cost, then please let me and Tilmann know by DM and we’ll discuss what to do If I’ve forgotten an important clause or condition... tough sh!t And if you’re still reading this and haven’t fallen asleep… you’re already a winner in my eyes Now I'm going to set up a poll and keep my fingers crossed it works... if it fails, we'll use DMs... let's see!

Sadly I don't mate. Only pair of Aldens I have. Brogue advised same size as a pair of Viberg oxford shoes (whose last escapes me atm).

They'll run out of jeans to repro... eventually!!!

@Maynard Friedman after all these years mate... it's so good to see the real you ^... with a big beaming smile too 😊

Yeah mate I have a pair of these I got a few years ago (with Austin's kind help) which have the 379x military last. Nice shoes, nice last... In fact, you reminded me so I might even wear them tomorrow. What have you got your eyes on?

Does anyone know where these trainees can be bought? It's a request from our man Simone. Thanks in advance.

FW are making shirts up to size 18 now - I don't know if that's for all shirts but worth a look

The aspiration for Dec start remains though not committed as it's a one man show and there's quite a bit to get through... I made the point to Simone we all should be ok for jeans in any case 😉... fingers crossed though eh!!

Message passed to Simone 👍

^ ho ho ho

Yeah... though I won't have enough space under the chore... however the other way round I will... an unlikely combo though! Does anyone know if the one pocket c1890s jeans are in the same denim?

Ooe again / Anatomica Big Yank / FW Trailblazer / FW Ironalls / FW WW2 / @Duke Mantee / Brother Bridge

@Cocoa_Lapin I dropped you a quick dm earlier with a few of my measurements so you can compare and guage your fit against the size 44 FW N-1
