ooe yofukuten & co. denim contest

[jyoni]

Ack, mine are sitting at the post office as I type. I'll grab em in the morning.

Nice touch on the cross/dagger, flash. Funny, I thought to maybe inquire about a faux tab repair but I didn't. I wish I had...that looks sooooo clean.

[tsunamiboy85]

Great stuff, Flash, Unearthed and aho! Looking at your jeans, I wished I had done more customization though... Oh well.

jyoni can't wait to see yours!

SLAB, the waist on mine is actually has some space, I guess it's the angle of the shot.

Anyway Flash, how much did the strip shrink in the soak, roughly? How long and what temp?

As you can see, I am extremely excited for this!

2 quick pics of my pair that arrived yesterday in Fr. gotta love express too.

02 model (66 like cut)

only customization is the offset belt loop

now i must resist to jump in the bathtub with them on right now..

[slugabed]

i also like the basic ooe 02 cut.

[redragon]

On the same boat as slab, hope it will get out of the custom real soon....

All these denim shot just made the wait that much more unbearable...

[Flash]

Hope customs don't sting you guys too bad , fingers crossed

[rkusmant]

I'll take full photos outdoor tmrw and some fit photos.

Looking forward to see others'.

[Flash]

Took some quick fit pics

I think the sizing has worked out great for me , still plenty of room in the waist and top block

Turned around after taking the pic and seen the dog giving me this weird look

[--simon--]

They just arrived

Full detail shots to come, when I get home.

[Flash]

Nice one Simon , looking foward to the rest of the pics

[JacoBlue]

WOW this is so amazing! Nice Details everyone! I love the pockets on your pair Rkusmant! especially the placement of the watchpocket!

Checking in now! Really want to soak theese now

Here is mine 1922 inspired with 02 cut

What do you think??

I'm really sorry for the bad mobilepictures but it was the fastest way to upload since i dont have a camera at the moment.

I love this! <3

[Flash]

They look great , and a nice fit mate

[smittybat]

Looks like I "might" get mine tomorrow if I'm home when they try to deliver them otherwise it'll be Monday. I'm loving the pictures so far. Looks like a wide variety of styles out there which is awesome.

[SLAB]

everybodys jeans are looking mighty fine, from the crazy inspired customized pair from rkusmant to the basic cut from aho and royalcheese which actually pronounces the beauty of the #91 denim.

my pair is still stuck at customs, maybe more luck next week

[Flash]

Hope you get them soon mate , they are worth the wait

[aho]

^looks like i'll have the loosest fit of the bunch so far...should be interesting to see the fades from everyone...

now that we have the jeans, i still stand by my "wash them frequently" method, and am really enjoying the thickness (or rather, lack of thickness) of the fabric itself.

[ranonranonarat]

the variety in this contest is just ridiculous and i like it!

[grooveholmes]

fucking epic. you assholes.

[shinobi2000]

I cannot get over the personalized leather patches, yes you fucking assholes, I hate you all

[redragon]

No luck on the custom yet, keep fingers as ever crossed for next week.

[mapz]

oh man it's getting real in here. i received my pair on thursday. like some of you guys i went with the 02 cut with really basic deetz - used the 01 as my template and tweaked from there. i hope everyone gets their pairs in time. here are mine hamming it up for the cam:

decided for a subtle personal touch with my initials on the back pocket:

[Flash]

Great pair Mapz , the oxidised rivets are a really cool detail

[setterman]

Here is mine 1922 inspired with 02 cut

My favorite pair so far. Excellent choice in style and details. Really like the hick stripe pocket bags.

Best thread on sufu right now, by far. Kicking myself in the ass for not getting in on this thing.

These are pretty nice jeans! It looks like Ryo and Hiro may have obsessed even a bit harder over stitch and detail quality for this special contest.

Nothing too custom here, just the pockets the way I like em, the extra loops, plus the brass buttons (rawed out to order, I imagine in a bowl of acetone). I had to go back to the laurel leaf and donuts because the new logo buttons could not be rawed out cleanly.

Now for some bad news...these are under spec for size, almost 1.5in/4cm or so.

I'm just going to bite down and shrink them after the 1st. The block looks good but I'll have to dip into the cheesy bag of tricks to get the waist. Jeans that just simply fit are more my thing nowadays, but I doubt any of us are strangers to reaming out a fit. I'm sure it will be fine especially with the weave on these.

I'll hold off on fit pics until after the contest starts.

[Flash]

Those buttons look soooo nice

[rkusmant]
