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

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Congrats misterh! Well deserved victory. This was a great contest to be a part of. Again I really enjoyed seeing everyones updates and hope to keep seeing them pop up here and there in the future.

I have not had a moment yet. But I would like to see everyones inside fades. I know my pants show signs of it. Being indigo weft and warp I bet some of you guys have some wear to share.

[misterh]

I've got inside pics I'll dig up at some point.

you all did fantastic as far as I am concerned. I still have a relatively tame pair of the indigo ducks, so its nice to see what can happen when put to good use. Thanks for a fantastic contest and thread to follow everyone

IHBW -- Good call on the inside fades!

[clayton]

I echo all the other sentiments on the success of the thread.

Followed from the beginning and it's been fun watching the evolution through pics.

I love how different everyone's pair faded based on lifestyle/washing techniques, etc.

Well done all.

inside pics.

bad ass

[Left Field]

Sorry for the delay, been banging out samples for the shows. Just want to thank everyone again for sharing your personal journey in a pair of Left Field chinos. Ninja it was a damn close call, but had to pick 3. It would be interesting to do something like in Smoke where someone takes a picture every day at the same corner at the same time in the same town and compiles 365 days of photos. It would make an interesting coffee table book. Well just because the contest is over doesn't mean the thread has to be. Lots of friends made here in this corner of cyber space so keep it up! Who knows maybe another one down the pipeline. To those that have one, finally got your GC figured out, and sending off tonight. signing off for now. Christian

[misterh]

Can't wait.

Thanks again Christian.

[xchen]

good pick, man

[Trav e Martini]

Did any of you guys have trouble with the buttons popping off of the selvage canvas? It's seems like really stiff material to have sewn on buttons.

[misterh]

Read the thread first. I'm pretty sure this pic answers your question.

[Trav e Martini]

Oh shit. Those are the contest winners right?

[big truck]

Not right, you only have to read 3 pages back.

So for whatever reason when I tried to change the password on my other account it stopped working. The mods still haven't gotten back to me..... But whatever here are some pictures of the inside fades.

Got some holes yo

Had to stop carrying my phone in my pocket ha

Great contest everyone! misterh just killed it!!! I for one, would not be opposed to a round two Left field contest. I think it would be interesting to every few months post an update if you continue wearing your chinos. Like a wear are they now... hah punny. Anyways thanks Christian, Drew, and Robbie, this has been a rocking thread!

[misterh]

Gear arrived today. I sized down two I guess, 36 > 34 on the olive miner chinos.

Thanks again Christian.

Curious to know what lottiboi and ihbw picked up?

great looking stuff there!

[ThinFinn]

where the fitpics at?

[lottiboi1]

I got the Nishinbo Greaser and Cone green denim chelsea, I'll post here when I get a chance

[lottiboi1]

Left is the green cone chelsea and right is the nisshinbo mills greaser. They are both distinct which is quite cool if you ask me.

this green is pretty crazy I am very curious to see how it fades

Pocket bags on the greasers are a great detail

shitty fit pics first is the chelsea I sized down 1 to 29 and on the greasers I went TTS with a 30

[satchelbmoore]

^^both are beautiful denims and great cuts. well done.

[willrh1]

Man some of the stuff left field puts out really intrigues me. I'm all set on denim for a long time but might give their chinos a shot. They have some sweaters on sale that I'll pull the trigger on as well. I'm stoked, anybody have the oatmeal fleece pullover hoodie?

[misterh]

I'd post your question in the left field thread too.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

I went for the Cone Mills Selvedge Chinos. Love this fabric. Thanks again Christian!

[indigoeagle]

Which style did you choose? Miner fit or tailored?

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Which style did you choose? Miner fit or tailored?

Miners cut.

[indigoeagle]

Miners cut.

I see.

I went with the Miner's cut in the indigo ones, but got the brown ones in the tailored style, but two sizes larger.

Great pants and super friendly service from Christian.
