They're really fun light easy to wear here in Austin. 8 Ounce I think super light weight. My gf says I look like a farmer in them. Perfect. I'll post a pic soon I guess I should...

Sounds like what you would want from a pair like this! Looking forward to see some pics!

ciao Karl!

I have the fully extensive list of each contestant and his relative sufu/instagram account! I can publish it here is no one has anything against that for privacy issues.

I am also waiting Ryo to publish the list of Japan participants. I hope he will publish soon!

 

Fine with me

You're amazing. THANK YOU!

Did you get them? What do you think? 

Another wash. Pics inside an overcast day. The last three features a tiny bit of sunlight coming i the window which explains the difference in shade. I really like how these are turning out. The fabric is truly amazing!

Amazing @Thanks_M8!

How did you go about adding it to the contest jean order? E-mail to Ryo?

Yes, i just sent him an e-mail asking it was possible. Then he sent me a paypal invoice. It was really smooth. Great service! 

Wow, beautiful! @RunMountainDrew

Awaiting a cathurday tee with the pants 

I would be interested in some kind of contest tee!

We need that tee!

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***

despite the much bigger than expected numbers, Tcb should be able to respect the stated delivery time.
To do that they need to start production imminently.

IF ANY OF YOU GUYS IS CONSIDERING A SIZE CHANGE, YOU HAVE TO DO IT NOW AND TELL RYO.
Tcb wants to start cutting the fabric tomorrow.

 

Did that yesterday when I realised these will sit on the widest part of ny belly!

Just in case ur up to some DIY chain-stitching by hand 

 

Not impressed by my almost invisible super thin thread hand sewing?

Thanks for the tip! Might try that next time, even though it looks quite difficult..

great!
just to make it clear to everybody, if for any ethical or other reason you don't like to have a leather patch on the jeans, Tcb can slap the standard 50s two cats paper patch, not the specific contest design printed on paper.

 

I like to hear that, even though i will stick with the contrst patch myself!

where are you from?

Sweden, and already on the list 

Just ordered my pair

Not going to do that because it would stir more confusion and more questions. Refer to one wash measurements or just play the Russian roulette of sizing at your own risk pleaseee

Welcome aboard!

Fair enough 

I'm in taking the week to decide on sizing before ordering. 

Is it possible to get a quote on how much the waist stretches? Since the pair shown in the pictures was sized down they might have shown some post OW stretch? 

From Sweden, like a few already!

Yeah, they really have an awesome roping! @Bobbo

Heres one of a growing number of busted and repaired seams pictured after yesterdays trip in the washer

I'm gonna give my pair another wash soon. It feels like the marble more and more for every wash!

Current state 

I've stopped putting my phone in the front pockets for this reason  But the repair looks really nice! 

Wow, what did you do?? @Thanks_M8
