Osaka showdown

[SLAB]

Sorry guys, I have since sold my Denime's hence the lack of updates

[beautiful_FrEaK]

is this official dead now?

[Anders Helseth]

I still wear my WH 700s quite regularly, but the lack of participation from others in this thread has quelled my motivation.

I for one can state that this is dead, as far as the thread goes. A pity really, as it had great potential..

[Flash]

sorry guys , after losing the weight and selling my evisu no.1's all ive pretty mutch worn are my 710's but ive been putting alot more wear into my 1108's lately but i think its a little too late ?? sorry surrealizm i know you updated alot

[Anders Helseth]

No worries. There have been more excuses for not updating than actual updates.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

still sad this project kinda died. it was one of the most interesting projects/contests around here.

maybe it can be kinda reanimated?! would be cool

[Flash]

Well ive sold my 2000's after droping some weight but im wearing some fullcount 1108's and would be stoked if we could start again,

Surrealizm was a pretty dedicated poster here so hpoefully he will forgive my late contrabution and continue to share his 700's(if there is anyone out there wearing some evisu in no.1 or no.2 denim send me a pm please , we also need to fill a studio'd artisan spot and a denime spot (if any of the orignal members still want to post please send me a pm)

[Flash]

Here is a fit pic and a quick progress pic

please excuse the mess , ive recently bought my first (moved in 4 weeks ago) house and still have alot of work to do so its pretty dissorganised

realy love these the denim is sooooo nice

if I wouldn't do the 'Awesome 3some' with MaxPower and kayodic and later in the year the samurai contest i would be down for this thing. evisu or denime

but there have to be some guys out there!

[Flash]

Hopefully mate , just hope surrealizm isnt to disscouraged by the lack of updates soo far

[HAZARDkid]

my bad, im about 5 months on my 1108 i just suck with cameras - think just natural light with no flash would be best? im gunna wash em soon so itll show some evo

it's cool if you wanna take over the fc part - i got a pair of wh660s i wanna break in, maybe we could just make this thread about osaka 5 evo?

Edited January 19, 2012 by HAZARDkid

[Flash]

Some fullcount pics would be great mate , personaly i think 2 or 3 of each brand would be cool

[oomslokop]

ive got an fc 1108 in rotation with three other pairs. its currently my weekend/holiday warrior, so its gonna be a long time before i can show any fadez. but it might be interesting to compare how zimbabwe cotton develops evo in tropical indonesia compared to in other places? anyways, here it is in ratahan, north sulawesi, last xmas (i normally live in jakarta, the capital of indonesia):

thats a bentor=becak/bendi motor, motorized pedicab, in the background. basically they stick a pedicab into the front end of an underbone/scooter and change the gear ratio so it can carry more weight.

this one comes with full sound system *insert happy trance soundtrack*:

heres how far ratahan is from osaka :

Sure mate i see no problem with you joining but this time i want everyone to give some good effort into updating (including myself)

so i think that fills the need for fullcount posters

[Flash]

Some random fc pics

[ranonranonarat]

i for one would love to see this thread moving again.

[Maynard Friedman]

So who is still active in this and what brands are they representing?

[Flash]

Well atm there is 3 fullcount representives confirmed but over the weekend i hope to get a few people on board (i will pm all the starting members to see if there is still any interest)

and again if there is anyone that would like to join please pm me

[Maynard Friedman]

If you're short for SDA I may be able to plug a gap with my 101s. Just got a new camera.

[Flash]

Prefect mate , ill sign you up

if you could take some fit pics and if you can a few detail pics

thanks mate

[blasterofair]

ive got a pair of very lightly worn evisu 2000 no1s that i was thinking of putting back in rotation...can i get in on this? i've had them slightly tapered from the knee down though, dunno if that's a problem. The taper is nothing dramatic though.

[Flash]

great to have you on board mate just post a fit pic along with a few detail pics

seems like were getting somewhere

[beautiful_FrEaK]

great to see this thread/project living again!

I'll wear my Evisu this evening to honour you guys

[oomslokop]

nice post mate

just updated my photobucket to pro (exceeded my bandwidth) so i should have some pics when thats sorted , does anyone know how long it takes for your pro account to become active

[Anders Helseth]

I'll try to wear my WH 700s more. Already got a few months on the others, and of course any new "contestants".

[setterman]

I've contacted flash and have some 15th Anniversary Warehouse 1001XX that I'll contribute updates for. I've had them 20 months, but I'm guessing the number of days of actual wear comes out to somewhere around six or seven months and they've had a similar amount of trips through the washing machine. Won't be wearing these daily since I have a couple other pair of LVC I'm wearing in, and I like the 1001s where they're currently at. I'm going to enjoy where they're at rather than pushing them to wear like I've done the past three years with two pairs of contest jeans (Full Count and LVC). By the end of February I'm hoping to pick up another pair of Warehouse. Leaning toward the #700, but their Lee 101Z keeps calling to me too. Which ever I go with, I'll throw in some updates of it too.

Looking back there was talk of an end date to this thing, which I agreed with at the time. Not exactly sure what the goal of the thread is, but I view it simply as a source for direct comparison of the evolution of various models of the five brands, and as such can go on indefinitely, and add or lose participants. I think those that want to participate should post an update every two to three months, and throw in the occasional fit picture. I don't think we need to load this thread up with "what are you doing" (food, scenery, events, etc) posts, unless your jeans are the focus of the photographs.

So, here's some pictures I took of my 1001s, while playing with my new iPhone recently. Got the day off from work today, so if I get some decent light I'll try to take some close up, detail shots. if the feeling is they're already too worn for a proper evolution in this thread, let me know and i can leave the 1001s out and jump in later with a different pair of Warehouse.

Tbh mate that was my original idea ( to use this thread as a referance to compare the 5 brands and not to have a time limit to wear the jeans) so if its ok with everyone elese ill edit my starting post and remove the end time.

Jeans look great btw setter

[Anders Helseth]

Aight, then I'll contribute with my SDA SP013s as well, if that's ok? Got like 16+ months of wear on them. They still use the same fabric for a few limited models.

Taking them to Japan next month to have them fixed.

Took a walk into Belfast city center today and took a few pics along the way

Stopped at my sisters house along the way to see her new dog (tried to take a pic but it wouldnt stand still for a second)

First stop was the bank but after that i called into a pretty cool vintage clothing shop called bang, they have a huge big e ad bannerill make sure and get a pic next time im inhomhh

Walked past the Europa hotel, its famous for being the most bombed hotel in europe ( i think the IRA hit it like 40 times from 1970 - 1994)

before i left town i called into the crown for a pint

I think the fullcounts are gonna get a wash in a week or two so ill through some updates up then
