I might be in, depending on start date

[slugabed]

i am down for another contest too.

sorry for the lack of updates since i have been ridiculously busy with work...

 

well i have a pair made from OAXX fabric placed on the waiting list.

already fixed the details with Ryo and planning to have them finished around new years eve or so.

 

but i am not quite sure, if Ooe would agree on having another contest since its quite tiresome...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

if a new contest would be too tiresome then another OOE World Tour

But then, repetitions are most of the time not as a great as the original

Would love to take part in another run of the contest but don't think its wise to buy another pair of jeans when I am being reminded every morning there is still alot of pairs to go through.....

another contest would be great but im not sure i could participate , im in the same boat as a lot of people ( to many unworn pairs )

[Maynard Friedman]

I think the online interest in contests has tailed off considerably. This thread gets occasional posts but the Devi's one appears to have died a death, even though there are some good posters participating.

Nowadays, all contests seem to have a flurry of posts when announced but just don't maintain anything like that momentum once the jeans are actually received and proceedings are underway.

I think it's time to leave well alone for a while, at least as an online entity.

I was hoping you had gone to a Pirates game and had some pics Ray, that's awesome. With Atlanta out, I'm all in on an Oakland/Pittsburgh WS even though TV execs would hate it.

[rayw44]

That would actually be awesome Ignaurus. Two small market teams, both with tiny payrolls, playing a cross country World Series? Count me in.

I have a few more pics to post too when I get to a PC. Haven't taken a ton as the games have been too exciting. I'm so excited and so scared for tomorrow's game in St. Louis.

I would certainly be up for a round two, but I'm also up for the idea of keeping this contest going longer with the current pairs. The posters here have all been above average as far as contests go, and I want to see where all of these end up after plenty of more wear.

^ooops, didn't mean to open the can of worms...Yes, contests are overdone and participation always dwindles (I'm certainly guilty of this more than anyone) but myself personally, would like to see how the OAXX fabric develops overtime with a group of people. I'll let go of the topic but in all honesty will end up ordering a pair for myself regardless...

[garden gnomes in space]

I probably would be the worst person in a contest, but I would like to be a part of something, especially with you lot here.  Im just a lazy individual when it comes to posting pics.  If its not doable from an iPhone and I have to use fingers other than my right thumb, its pretty much a done deal.  Many of the posters in this thread, as well as myself seem to have similar denim tastes so it could be interesting nonetheless.

Snap photo with phone, upload to imgur, copy img code into reply box. Never gone on Sufu mobile, so wouldn't be able to tell, but any other forum it's as simple as that.

^fwiw, I've only been posting pics from my iPhone for the past 2 years (including everything posted on this thread!)...

 

That being said, I've been slacking on updates here. Here's one from earlier today, fresh from a wash yesterday:

[Sugar Mountain]

Nothing like some hard-washed denim and a pair of Indy boots!

[redragon]

 

Seriously would not mind extending this contest (to 2 years?) as what rayw44 suggested, that would be epic!

 

On another related note....

Looking good Redragon. How often have you been washing? I was under the impression you were washing fairly often, but it looks like you still have some nice dark pools of indigo in certain spots.

 

I've eased up on washing mine as often since I gained a bit of weight (I'm sick of stretching the waist back out after each wash, it's becoming more of a magic trick each time), and I wanted to see if I can get some combs to come in.

[redragon]

 

Thank you.

Been washing it for around twice a month now. 

Strictly only handwash which might explains the dark indigo still hanging around...

[Ignaurus]

Yeah... 2 years so maybe I can fit back into my pair during that time and get some more wear. All the pairs posted recently have been looking great.

 

A few shots from things around the area.

Hiro has posted couple of pictures of my pair when i made a visit to their studio in May this year.

[jyoni]

Quick update, crap photos.  I'm done with a huge deadline at work, so my energy level should improve enough for more timely updates.

 

Another big knee blow there.

Inspired by both the shots above!

 

I'm going to have to bail a the 18 month mark if this comp gets extended to 2 years, my jeans are just too worn out to get to 24 months! Would possibly be interested in doing this again with a new pair?

[Flash]

as far as extending the contest , just because the contest officially ends at the 18 month mark dose not mean you cant still post your updates and pics  in the thread  , i know i wont be stopping anytime soon  

[jyoni]

Proper jeans jyoni! Those are 91, not the 44?

 

Man, a pair of 03's with cinch would just float my boat.

 

Ah the doomed 44.

 

These are the 91s Hoggreaser.

 

What size are you?  PM me.
