[jyoni]

Sorry to hear that fre-co

Heard back. No worries from Ryo and Hiro. My concern is catching up with you guys and getting the ball rolling.

No worries...

Pretty sure we are still within schedule.

Fre-co, Sorry to hear you are flaking out.

hope things works out well soon

[tsunamiboy85]

payment made! but still in talks with ryo and hiro to confirm the sizing (it's probably the language barrier), but i guess sizing can still be worked out at a later time. the important thing is that it is on!

@fre-co: sorry to hear that you are dropping out. hope that everything will work out for you!

[SLAB]

sorry to hear you are backing out of the competition Fresco!

Just realised with all the edits to my first post of the thread I must have deleted some info about the contest

I've allways thought about this being a 18 month contest ? Everyone ok with that?

Don't think we really talked about this

[royalcheese]

at first i thought it was 24 month, but i'm ok with 18.

[redragon]

18 sounds good.

[--simon--]

Happy with 18 months, Jan 1st 2014 would work for me, I always start a new pair every year on New Years day, new year, new jeans ( is that a bit OCD :/ ).

[Flash]

Well sort a start date once everyone has there jeans

id like to do the standard contest start ( pic taken with unsoaked jeans beside newspaper showing the date

[JacoBlue]

18 months is good so that the jeans dont get too broken And i like the classic idea with the newspaper! somehow the tradition got lost

[smittybat]

Sounds good...anything more than 18 months would be too long.

[Ignaurus]

18 months sounds great, newspaper sounds good too. Always liked that.

[SLAB]

18 months is agreeable

[Flash]

18 months sounds good to me too.

darn excited to see ryo and hiro having started the production.

Dream comes true indeed.

[redragon]

Very nice to see the updates day by day, coming along nicely indeed....

I'm loving the construction shots on Ooe's blog. Look at the button hole photo today, the attention to detail is second to none.

[Flash]

Im realy loving the 91 denim in those shots , its soo dark it almost looks black

[aho]

too hyped! making my payment today (just got the new invoice, old one expired), lets get this show on the road! btw, for the time being, all my shots will be via iphone (no other camera at the moment), hope no one cares! this does mean that ill be taking a higher amount of pics...

A bit late chiming in, but 18 months sound great!

@aho I only have an iPhone 4 too, and I will try to make up for the lack of quality with volume! I, for one, am pretty excited to see your pics though!

[jyoni]

Ready and waiting for a new invoice. 18 months is great. I'm really happy to see the contest running beyond a year.

If fre-co's spot is open, I have a friend who could potentially enter. We popped his cherry on some LVC 1947 recently and he's all about the raw fades now. He's a fellow carpenter, former apprentice, and close buddy of mine.......and he is beating the piss out of them jawns. Last time we spoke he asked about this and was a bit disappointed to hear it was full.

[jyoni]

Alright fellows, let's do this....paid in full.

[aho]

^just paid...these will probably be the last jeans i buy for the next 5 years, given all the pairs i have piled up and how much i know i'll love these...exchange rate raped us all but itll be worth it!

[Flash]

I keep telling myself that same thing .........but i just dont listen

[ranonranonarat]

hahahaha i have heard this from you so many times aho.

[aho]

^ahahaha what can i say....

[redragon]

Cannot wait for the final version of the leather patch....!

[jyoni]

Alright, my buddy Jordan is coming over tomorrow to look at the order process. I'll have a clear answer by tomorrow night CST. By Monday it'll be yes or no. I'm optimistic because he's already said he definitely wants in, but I want him to have an "out" until it's solid.

Thanks for the help with it, flash. Ryo and Hiro got in touch and said "okay but hurry!" lol
