Pure Blue Japan

[geneticdrifter]

i'm only in if its XX-03.

[-Z-]

Purple contest or bust!!!!

I would be in with any cut or denim, but I'm saving my 200+ dollars for the eternal contest. Bummer for me and hope it plays out. Pbjs are sick.

[PandaDenim]

...how about we first see how many are interested, what kind of jeans we can get going, then people can bitch about what denim/cut they want...

[dfaus]

i'd be down for a contest

[CooLy_oNE]

^^ I think they are already stretched out..maybe they will be a room for another 0.5" to the size where they are pre-soak...but not sure though, not a master here...

[esoteric]

Hrm, well okay I will have to consider sizing down then if they stretch out that much. Maybe a 29 would do me some good.

Anyways, as for a contest, I would be interested in doing the 005 or the 003. Or anything rather slim and fitting, no straight leg/flare/relaxed for me! If that does happen to get organized, I'll wait to get my pair for the contest then

[PWNED]

Can anyone compare the fits of the XX-011 with another cut? Apc Levis anything really!

[ranonranonarat]

im in for the contest. no straight leg/flared/relaxed for me as well. xx-005 or anything slimmer will be good.

[pat!!]

I'd be down for anything slim fitting as well!

This has been done, several times...by myself at the very least and others as well, I think.

4. We need like...at least 90 more.

[JBenzFC]

Will definitely join the contest depending on dates and cuts

I'm leaning towards the 013 or the 005

[kino]

do a poll!

[rjsavestheday]

I'm down for the contest! *crosses fingers for 013 cut*

Yeah I was going to, but I figured before I post a thread I should do an interest check in the PBJ thread...and the interest does not look promising right now...

If you guys want to do a custom cut/denim we really need more people to be in on this. If we can get people by June I think we can have the contest up and running by next January I hope.

[JBenzFC]

Next January would be perfect actually. You can even have a split challenge or something. 013 vs 005

[commodorewheeler]

I'd be in for next January as long as I'm not in the middle of some other contest.

[nlim3482]

count me in for the contest

[saintkeat]

they'd have to be really slim fitting.. not rather. i find most of the japanese cuts fit wide...

whats the damage joining this contest?

[Markk]

Man, I can't choose between some XX-011s or BSPs; does someone want to post more pictures of some XX-011s to help me make my choice? It would be much appreciated .

[baldy]

I don't think a REALLY slim fit would be good for a contest, you're not going to get enough people that would want that fit.

[cloudhands69]

Is it too early to make a new PBJ contest thread? Ya oughta think about it.

Anyway, back with non-contest talk.

I haven't been on Sufu for quite some time (it's generally bad for the bank account, I've found), but I wanted a new pair of jeans and this thread has been educational.

I decided on the xx-011, mainly because I haven't been wearing boots too frequently and like the tapered fit on my KMW rockers.

What my actual waist size is, I have no idea. I wear a 30 in most brands, so I got a size 29 in the 011s. Big mistake! The waist needed to be another 2 inches bigger (pre-soak!), and the fabric on the thighs was already pretty damn snug. I sent them back to Gordon and I'm getting 31s instead.

Maybe my size confusion is due to these jeans being lower-rise than the cuts I'm used to wearing, so the waistband is more of a hip measurement than a real waist measurement.

Anyway, thanks for all the info, guys. Hopefully the 31s will work for me, and I'll post up a pic or two. Braidkid, we're waiting on those post-soak pics!

[gonegonegone]

yeah braid, please show us some post-soak pics.

[braid]

lol, sorry guys. I ended up taking them in to get hemmed this past weekend and won't have them back until maybe Thursday. I'll get pics up by sometime next week...

anyone seen these nc 005?

would be a fantastic idea for the 007s since many people dont want those to fade in the first place

[PandaDenim]

...I stated originally that ideally I'd like to get the xx-005 cut with the xx-011 denim because I love the 005 cut plus it's versatile enough to allow a lot more contestants.

And at the rate this is going...we aren't going to have a contest, fuck it.

[Spastic_Koala]

I have a pair of unworn (tags still on) 007s. I'd be willing to do a contest with those.

or maybe you could sell it to me with a very good price..

[geneticdrifter]

you can always have a contest.

you just can't get a discount at the current level of interest.

why not just run the same denim with different cuts?

[viv1984viv]

Maybe in on this you know - I have 005 so something a little different would be good.

[aho]

I'd personally like to see a wider leg cut if there were to be a contest (ie: XX-003)...
