Not that I think Giles is the kind of guy that would be consciously biased, but isn't this why there's more than one judge? This contest isn't the 'have Giles judge the best pair of Iron Hearts' HWDC.

Not only that, but since not everyone can know the judges, everyone trusts Mega to select people with integrity that will vote without bias. He goes through a lot of work to put this together, and I don't think he's let anyone down in the past, and especially the future with how things are shaping up for Round2.

Don't hem it. Stack > Cuff.

yup, i wouldnt touch a thing . . . be aware that the waist in those is supposed to stretch like crazy

Nah they haven't touched water yet. But I gotta wash soon because they're starting to get pretty dirty. Playing capture the flag in a cow pasture every week is starting to take its toll.

ah good deal! keep me posted if you notice a big change in the f/b rise . . .

ac_slater, have you soaked those at all? i am wondering how much the rise shrinks with a soak . . . these def sit a lot higher for me than any other pair of raws that ive had. they look great too!

^ do you do a lot of biking in those?

is sanforized momo denim best washed after a year? it's been about half of that so far with no stains or smells . . .

my main concern is that this particular denim is very stubborn, and even though they are getting softer, they dont show a lot of visible wear yet

are those blue or black?

Ironheart? Make it 400+

ih anything is ~$500 . . . esp with a se collab

Would it be realistic to put together some kind of SEx__xSuFu collab jean? SE's collab cuts seem to appeal to a broad range, and many are similar to the buster cut. IDK what brand would fill in the blank though.

not sure how long any of those productions / collabs take to put together . . .

is there a minimum weight for the competition or a weight class?

^ dope! i had to give up on mine after i lost some inches, and they are basically TTS now, and the fades have shifted.

I feel you, but I would have prefered just the right pair over two pairs of the jeans I already own.

The worth means nothing coz nobody over here is willed to spend more than $70-80 for em.

try ebay for like $150 a pair or whatever, and offer to pay $10 or so towards shipping (to anywhere). at that point you could be netting $140 a pair, or could do free shipping (up to $15-20) for a lower buy it now price. either way, you could move the denim, and get 2x what people are willing to pay locally . . .

either way, you should be able to clear $250 towards a pair of sams or ih at dc4

those are the vx? i thought they were limited edition / sold out a while ago? both look great!

go for the jh again imo if you really want/like them . . . you can either try to sell the second pair of deeps or hang on to them for later.

yeah, those look awesome . . . how did you size? cuffs and boots look great!

2 that fit, 2 that don't . . .

ub101 & nf x momo / nf x bj & nf wg deeps

people with e2: how is the sizing once the denim breaks in? does the heavy weight stretch at all? i am considering some e2 or ub 21oz and wonder how to size . . .

^ kl has 20% off codes all of the time http://www.karmaloopcodes.com/

I sure would!

But here's a great story:

As I arrived home an hour ago I opened the package and was kinda suprised: shouldn't the denim be a bit more slubby?

then checked the tags and karmaloop sent me a pair of deep indigos which I actually wear right now instead of the japan heritage pair I purchased.

to make it more funnier: I live in Germany and paid about $35 taxes and shipping them back to the states would take almost the same amount.

I feel fucking bummed.

any ideas?

call them and bitch. demand full compensation and nothing less.

anyone still working on the nf x momo sg? any updates on the wg? i think the wg used a faster fading denim . . .

dont forget about the raw for women thread and railcar fine goods.

^ everything looks awesome, including the wood sculpture and guitar!

^ love those big johns!

the coloring on those looks great!

looks solid! hopefully it was cheap enoug, that you can beat them up with out fear of ripping anything for awhile!
