ooe yofukuten & co. denim contest

[okisan]

congrats ignaurus. as a relatively new dad myself i can just about recall those early days - all very surreal. i do recall having to wash my jeans ahead of 'schedule' after they got 'stuff' all over them during the birth.

Updates for Nov.  I had time to search for the tripod for some half-decent photos.

 

The right knee is mid-repair.  I hope to have it finished tonight and begin wearing again this week.  Tender Co. for that knee, just like the left.  The exposed patch is Japan Blue 14.8 oz I believe.

Aho, the color on those is so nice.

Not much on the denim but great breakfast this morning.

 

Edit: for some reason, the picture was not up, fixed it.

Morning greeting from my newly torn belt loop...And further updates since I was taking pictures anyway...

 

Not sure how the next few months will go. I might give these a rest around December and break in a few other pairs although I'm clearly behind in this contest Either way, lovely pair of jeans from Ooe and I'll be wearing these for years!

Gorgeous flash! Thats how I'm hoping mine turn out by March...

[aho]

Went about a month without a wash since they didn't need it, but these are some pics from the past Thanksgiving weekend. Most recent wash brought out the fades. Pretty true to color, please excuse the poor draping on a chair lol:

 

I noticed a few threads around the butt/crotch starting to go just like they did on the yoke, hopefully they'll make it through till March. If I had to do it over again, I'd size up a size considering the weight I've gained and the strain it's putting on the threads...

^^Perfect fades

[redragon]

Monthly update time.....

 

 

 

 

Colors is more accurate on the close-up shots, my camera tends to over-exaggerate contrast a little.

 

Out of curiosity...any words from R&H about the price yet Flash?

[Flash]

got a reply from Ryo and Hiro regarding the judging and prize

 

the prize will be a pair of there NEW PROTOTYPE JEANS ( i have no idea what they are but maybe one of you guys know something ?? )

 

They are super busy at the moment so the winner will be decided by public poll , ill sort something out closer to the time 

[aho]

^Awesome, thanks for that Flash! anyone's guess is as good as mine, but maybe it's the pair Ryo is wearing (wrangler-esque in the O.A.XX denim I think?)

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Glad to be a part of this with all of you, 3 more months til goal! All the best to you and your families!

I'm really impressed with everyone's progress and consistent updates. This thread is not only staying alive, but thriving.

 

I haven't been able to post much, but here is a dump of pictures from the holidays. I went to Phipps Conservatory with my fiance over the holidays, and they had a nice Christmas display with lights, Christmas tress and a train set with a weird Jurassic Park-like theme.

 

 

 

This was posted to instagram already with some filter.

 

 

 

I don't even know what this is, but it is like 9 feet tall.

 

 

 

[rayw44]

I also saw this on a model at a local movie theater showing some potential developments in the surrounding area. I am hoping this is real and not just a design student taking some pretty looking graphics from a Cat's Paw box, but i think it's the latter.

 

Here's a pic in direct sunlight of the thigh. It's the only recent pic I have of the pants. Also, excuse the quality of the photos.
