Ah still waiting on two white shirts up here in Canada. I was so hoping they would be here before my New York trip next week. Oh well. Its weird that they get to Europe before Canada.

Anybody in Canada receive their shirt from the first shipment yet?

[fur]

@josh,i'd be downto try and set something up when your in town.

And we should def. try and set something up for one year,im willing to show everyone around should it be in Montreal.

[ThinFinn]

Jimmy C - will there be a restock of white shirts?

[jimmyc]

Just the black ones. I decided to do just a few more in the smaller sizes and had to pick a color since it's 2 completly different setups to do black & white.

Everyone get your sticker order in ASAP, don't wait! I'll only have enough of them to fill about 20 orders and there will be no re-order on these.

[joshyle]

fur I hear Schwart's is the place to visit.

jimmyc That's music to my ears! I'd prefer white, but black works just as well. I'm looking forward to it. You rock!

Teaser pics till the month mark (past a month, but not in wears )

Here's todays fit btw, cuffed 2x cause I wanted a different look today.

[GMC Motorsports]

Megatron, I'm #68 Kybosh. I was having trouble registering and had to create a second account. Could you please update my user-name on the list?

Thanks for signing me up Beatle.

1 month pics,

A little late but simon626, those look like they fit perfectly. What is the lenght?

[SNg]

The fit looks great! Feeling a tad intimidated here...haha

[Cdennis]

Hey GMC Motorsports, the fit looks great! What kind of woodwork do you do?

[Max Power]

So, I know who I would bet on winning this thing. No. 68 or iGit. These guys are fading legends.

[lucaas]

geez, really want the black t-shirt but what can I do with insufficient fund. lol.

anybody help me to cop one for me?

[ccmjim]

what! Kybosh is in this, better start getting serious.

Kybosh how you planning to keep this pair lasting 2 years?

[Megatron1505]

That's the thing isn't it. These guys wear their jeans HARD, so keeping them in one piece for 2 years might be a challenge in itself.

[Max Power]

Then they can stop after 2 months an conserve them till the end. Nobody forces them to wear them 2 years straight (or can we ?)

[AFTRMTH]

Great photos everyone. Im hoping to post a fit pix or two later on today.

Damn it, you spotted the flaw in my plan

[ccmjim]

i would be keen to see repairs been done to some of our jeans if need to be.

[Megatron1505]

I would think that some competitors jeans will need repairs at some stage. Some Samurai suffer with crotch repairs due to the 100% cotton thread, and depending how they have been sized.

Looks like you got a shout out on N&F's blog: http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/blog/denim-science-experiment/

[PeterParker]

That's the thing isn't it. These guys wear their jeans HARD, so keeping them in one piece for 2 years might be a challenge in itself.

It might be a stretch to make a pair of jeans worn for construction last two years, but if there's a pair of jeans that could hold up under that kind of abuse I think it would be the IH 24oz denim.

I don't get why all of you nancy boys think you need two pairs of jeans to get you through two years. I thought the point of the contest was to see if the heavier weight of the denim could endure more wear than the standard one year contest for lighter weight denim. At least no one seems to have their jeans exploding at the seams already *cough*eternal*cough*. I understand that committing to a single pair of jeans for two years is not for the faint of heart. By all means, wear some different jeans or pants every so often.

But introducing a second pair of jeans into the contest and dividing your attention between two jeans defeats the purpose of the contest.

If you wanted to wear two pairs of jeans over the next two years, then why not just make two contests. Or make a two-jean rotation contest. Or call it an ordinary year on SuFu. This is getting ridiculous.

/rant

[Megatron1505]

Or, just let people wear two pairs if they want to and don't worry about it. If a person thinks that they can commit to working on two pairs over two years then I don't see the problem personally. More variation of denim and pictures and updates and all that good stuff that we love in competitions.

Calm down man, this is meant to be a fun contest for Heavyweight denim, not the olympics.
