[beatle]

[lenn]

damn, almost 70 competitors now! and it looks like i'm not the only one with dc4001s anymore too...

and i updated my avatar to fit in with the rest

[Megatron1505]

I'm going with the S5000BK's I reckon. Just got to sell one more pair of denim today and the order will be in. I've contacted 2nd, and they are holding a pair for me.

I just had a flashback of last summer in Barcelona, and how much I dreaded putting on my 710's, so 21oz is going to be even worse, ha ha. At least the S5000BK's are 17oz, after what I am currently wearing they should feel like linen, ha ha.

Does anyone actually have tactics for this contest? Does anyone do specific activities or routines to achieve particular wear or fades? Do any of the competitors, who are rotating two pairs, have any rotating tactics?

It has just occurred to me how intriguing it is that some people might have a "game plan" for this competition. Of course, nothing is against the rules as how you wear your jeans, and what you choose to do with them is entirely up to you, but the thinking behind denim wear tactics interests me.

As my job doesn't involve too much physical labour, I don't cycle, and my other sporting or exercise activities aren't really suited to wearing denim, I am wondering what I can do (if anything) to get results?

To be honest, I think I'm just going to do a month by month rotation, and wear the jeans for whatever occasion I find myself in. Luckily, I can wear jeans for work, so that will get them a good 10 hours + every day, what about everyone else? Anything specific, or just general wear?

[thewickett]

I have no real game plan... I'm a student so I can wear them pretty much 7 days a week although I am not super active, especially in the winter. I spend about a month and a half out of the year at the family cabin and work on a farm in the summer so they'll see plenty of wear.

As far as washing... My last pair got washed every 30 days. I am going to hold out as long as possible though but once I start wearing them for work in the summer I'm sure they will see water about every 30 days.

[Max Power]

I have no plan either, just wear em as much as I can. I can't wear them to work, so I try to get as much wear as I can out of them in the evening and on the weekend. And I plan to wear them when I do my hiking activities in the alps. And take them to some concerts of course. And getting tattoed in them. Wait, that's normal life...just hold out washing, I always do so.

Second pair purchased, S5000BK.

I totally forgot my S5000BK's qualified for this contest! I bought and started wearing them last mid-Decemeber before I got my 500JX-LRs. Mega, do you mind adding S5000BK's to #40? I'm even more excited for this contest as we'd have the same black Sams.

As for tactics, I don't really have any. I guess being a commuter could count. Walking and sitting on the bus/bus stops for 2 hours out of my day has been what I've been doing. These two years will be interesting tho because I will have graduated and will start working in the Philippines. For washing, I always machine wash my jeans every 2 months or when they start to stink.

[SNg]

I don't have much of a game plan/tactics being a student. Moving from class to class and taking public transportation is about it. But we've been getting quite a bit of snow in NY lately so I've been trudging and trekking through snow hills that have gathered on the side of the streets and such. I do some running in my jeans to catch buses or get home quicker.

As for soaking, probably once every few months to keep my jeans clean. Planning on doing a sea-soak with my friends in August though, so I'm definitely looking forward to that, haha.

Way to steal my thunder

Only joking, of course I'll add your black Sams It will be cool to have a comparative pair, I already have a comparison for my S5000VX (Dingo), so this works out nicely.

#62 Strike Golds 1103EX

Stealth Mode Engage!!

as far as tactics go- Strike Golds are the mules, SR's are the back ups.

[dant87]

They are looking damn hot!

[Obbigood]

anyone else other than the both of you here?

Great, great!

Welcome, Nicol!

3 Singaporean leh...haha

[heisjasian]

I'd also like to join up. I just bought a pair of indigo Beatle Busters yesterday (1/29/11) at SELA. It's raining and cloudy here in SoCal, so gonna have to hope tomorrow is a sunnier day.

72) heisjasian - Iron Heart Beatle Buster - 21oz

[Toganpro]

Payment sent for banner.

Gonna look great in my room. : D

[laxlife1234]

Here is my tactics... Im a student and have a uniform unfortunately and basically I can wear them after 3 each day but on the weekends I can wear them all the time since where I work doesn't mind jeans.

As far as wearing I plan on giving the strike golds less wear the first year than the samurais and the second year I'll give the strike golds more wear. As far fades I want the strike golds to look more vintage and the samurais to look more high contrasted. I dont wear my jeans that hard though just normal I guess.

Didn't really want to say tactics.. But, just what I plan on doing, I will just wear my jeans, but it's more so how I want my fades to come out.

[Osmosis Jones]

it just struck me, Evil is the man - if he's planning on wearing flannel lined in the summer ...Kudos

21oz denim + 13oz flannel = 34oz of fun.

can't believe how many people are in this contest now. but tactics? come on sufu, i know you're better than that...

just wear your jeans and the rest will come.
