Out in Left Field (1/1/2012-1/1/2013)

[kansas]

few pics from the past couple of weeks.

our dry-ass tree. goin' fake next year

two of the many single malts i sampled over the holidays. my buddy visited scotland last summer and picked up the first gem from a tour. the second one is my x-mas present to myself.

visited an awesome toy store/marble factory called the moonmarble company located in kansas city. great retro games and toys. this guy is one of the marble artists. (pic stolen from website)

happy 2013. with the wife and some friends. i'm fairly intoxicated and looking rather insane at this point in the evening.

i'll post some final shots when the time comes. the crotch my pair is very shredded so they haven't gotten much wear lately. it's been fun being in my first contest, and i've enjoyed the personal photos from you guys. hope everyone is well in 2013

[pepper davies]

Alright guys! I guess the contest is officially over! I'm talking with Christian about how to contest should come to a close and I think we should give everyone a few weeks to post final pictures of their pants. I'll be back from Cali in a few days and I'll get some pictures of mine up.

If people don't post final progress pictures I'll send pictures to Christian from the last post that was made.

We're thinking at this point that the prize will be a gift card from Christian so that no one gets something that they don't want.

Here are a few last photos from the end of my year. I ended up meeting up with Christian for a few drinks a couple weeks ago - such a cool dude.

[Guest lottiboi]

All this photography! Lemme join in with some recent developments (pun intended)

hanging out

I don't care who you are ADH92, diet coke in a bottle = neg rep.

Good shit dudes, loving the photos.

[big truck]

It is a glass bottle though which, surely, makes a lot of difference?

[xchen]

fucking love diet coke

[robbie]

ADH92 and I are friends, i'm just busting his balls.

[misterh]

So are there rules and such for the posting of the final pics?

On the left, rogue territory rk isc approximately one month of wear no wash no soak.

Should have put the contest pants on the left.

Mine are currently drying, but they've been some fun places of late

Namely PS 1 in Long Island City

Then Sedona

Then doing my thing at the Grand Canyon

And we're done!

[xchen]

misterh the falling on your pair is superb... really shows what the fabric is capable of.

[Happy Hooligan]

Hey Joelz great photos. good to see another pair at the Grand Canyon!

[Left Field]

HH your Bronco is sick and I'm jealous, my first car was a baby blue metallic 79 Camaro with a whales tale and would love to get back to the classics but these assholes in Brooklyn play bumper tag with me every day. California is amazing and would love to hang out there for a few months in the winter, take my motorcycle for a ride thru the Canyons and desert, damn dude have to come visit for a few and meet up, California Dreamin! and fucking freezing in NY, Cool story as well for how you got your name. Andrew Picts look dope, your on board for next spring web store shots and maybe more. looking forward to see the final shots. I have to give it to Cone on this one, this fabric was sooo perfect! and remember they aren't redoing the indigo/indigo just maybe indigo/navy so glad everyone got a pair before its gone for good. Happy New Year! C

[Guest lottiboi]

HI guys. Here are my final pictures. Sadly they don't fit me anymore, but they got a solid 7 months of wear.

[big truck]

This is one contest I have followed all the way and that really is a superb set of prizes from Christian. Well done all.

[oboy_oboy]

I've followed this thread on and off and just went through the last month of posts. When I'm not on my phone ill go and hand out rep like candy because its full of amazing pics, a great vibe and just tons of cool moments.

If there's another one, perhaps I an be a part of it. Happy New year fellas.

[misterh]

Here we are at the end of a fine year.

I tried to recreate the pic that I introduced myself to you all with. Sorry I was a bit late taking it and my wife had already packed up the Christmas decorations.

It's been fun watching my pants age, but even more fun being a part of jack's life and his growing up. Thank you for putting up with my posts about jack, I feel as though my pants are a reflection of what it was like to chase him around for a year.

I'd like to first thank Robbie and ADH92 for coming up with this idea and inviting me to participate. I have never done anything like this before and I sure had a good time. I am going to miss this thread and the people who post here.

Thank you to Christian, for keeping us excited and being very generous to both the group and to Jack. I will forever be a fan of Left Field.

And thanks to all of you who participated in one way or another, I'll miss your photos and stories about your life and your adventures, no matter how big or small.

I didn't really post too often before I went out to left field, so thank you sufu for the rep, and the general encouragement.

I know it's been said before around here, but one never knows what someone else will like/enjoy about what others do, so I tried to keep that in mind as I posted throughout the year. I wasn't so keen on whether I had a good camera or if I was doing anything amazing or exciting, I just tried to show you what my pants were doing in order for you to get a picture of why/how they turned out this way.

I hope to do this contest/tour thing again in some capacity, I had a lot of fun.

I have emailed my pictures to robbie, here's a teaser.

Thanks again.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Its been a lot of fun watching everyones pants evolve and having a small glimpse into everyones lives. Lots of big changes for a few of you here.

Thanks again to Robbie and ADH92 for putting this on and to Christian for making such a fine pair of pants.

I hope to keep seeing updates every now and again.
