Looks just fine, but equally important - does it feel fine, not too restrictive? I agree with @StrangeNeil that the armholes look high, but that can depend on what you wear underneath. do you ride bike?

Correct - no black jeans for me, yet.

Certainly a healthier price point than CSF... just trying to stay away from buying more jeans for a year or more.

Narrowing it down to Osaka 5 or any specific concept would be the way for an “open” contest. I would also think that Bowery Blue Makers would come down in price for a contest lot. Kind of like the idea of approaching Dawson Denim if enough interest could be secured...

Nice concept & details!

WHRanch is missing in my collection...

Very nice everyone! so tempting, but no...

I’m in for Warehouse or SDA - straight cut, don’t mind decade or year - with or without shirt/jacket. no need to wait for the other contest to end...

Congratulations to everyone! great times - but what’s next?

Simply great! Many thanks!

I have no idea how busy/active the Japanese fraction in the other media is/was. I would understand if after the FC issue the contest became lacklustre to some, or if the non-Japanese character of the contest made it less appealing, or that the resulting fades may simply not be good enough. does Ed have an opinion? my offer to ship the pants still stands - TCB could exhibit the pieces and ask their internal team or their customers to vote...

Wouldn’t mind sending in the jeans - if it helps judging...

Dawson Denim for me...

I took it off (the initial pair) and kept it separate with the intention of sewing it back on (to the second pair, which I ordered w/o patch) one day...

same as per Final Submissions thread - just more pics... Had to wrap up things in Moscow the week before last week - 8 years of Moscow are coming to an end and I will be having more time to spend in Berlin & Scotland. Packing was pretty hectic, but in the end we got it done. Turned out to be almost a 20” container... To make things even more eventful, I had to fly to Scotland on a short notice. I managed to wash my pair in Scotland and even got it to dry, but the light wasn’t good enough for pictures on the last day. Finally, I managed to take pictures yesterday here in Berlin. 3-5 full machine washing cycles - I pretty much lived in them until the end of September. Next steps would be some basic repairs and further moderate wear. Front Top Front Hem Top Front Details

In work - got back from Scotland this Wednesday and took pictures on Thursday...

nice! came across similar topics in the context of weaving when researching weaving patterns for my Hattersley Domestic Loom: http://kairotic.org/ and the reverse: https://gulfnews.com/entertainment/arts-culture/weaving-the-sound-of-music-1.1705191

Running errands in and around Berlin...

saw the post & pics on permanentstyle - very nice! BTW: you are talking about Han not Hans...

they seem to target a slightly different audience than the average SuFu Denimhead - leaner, clean cuts worn "dressy" - I guess, London being their location might have something to do with it as well.

I really like what I am seeing & will try make time to visit store and workshop next time. by now, there are some nice UK brands that seem to do everything (or most) right - Dawson Denim, Hiut Denim, Blackhorse Lane, Joe Denim and the occasional, smaller men's wear labels (with their collaborations). most of them seem to be putting on their own spin rather than trying to purely imitating Japanese brands. still waiting to see people post their own, broken-in BHL pairs here...

would be interesting to get a glimpse... guess, they work for a slightly different demographic - Drake's - and would be comparable to Bryceland, etc.

I've seen plenty of these Seasir collaborations pop up on yahoo.jp in the past - less frequent these days, which makes me think that they are a thing of the past... Seasir is a Japanese diving company from Okinawa, which explains a lot of the frequently featured marine and Okinawa-based motives (the dogs - シーサー Shīsā, Okinawan: shiisaa) on those jeans.
