DenimProject - The Deviants 2013 Contest

[demonator]

a size 34 measures only 16 1/2 on the waist after a couple of washes thigh is at 13 inch

[beautiful_FrEaK]

wow...thanks for those measurements. sound like the total opposite of what the sizing chart in the first posts says.

[demonator]

i dont know but what i have with me right now is a size 34 japanese denim devis in 46 cut.

[Mich]

Not really on topic of this contest, but Devi's related, i got a pair of the D66 and put pics and measurements up in the unknown Japanese brands thread.

And Devi's do appear to be a bit undersized like Ed mentioned, so i'm pretty confident i'm taking my regular size in these.

I think for anyone shooting for a finished inseam of 30 to 34 inches, which should accommodate anyone who is of normal stature, an additional 2 inches pre-soak is a good rule of thumb (+/- half an inch).

"normal statue" - we could argue about that. I'm no hobbit and still think it's easier to start with 38" inseam raw and get a hemjob than to sew extra inches on.

Remember we are using different custom denim for this contest so we should wait for the official measurements rather than guessing around with the wrong denim!

Maxpower, I'm not sure what relevance having a 38" raw inseam length has to do with my comment, or shrinkage in general.

Obviously your desired finished inseam length depends on how you want to wear them. As I have stated, I'm not planning on cuffing, and definitely not stacking. Max Power, you seem to like to have stacks and cuffs, so you may require that 38" raw inseam.

However, I think a 38" raw inseam is unrealistic, and unnecessary for the majority of us. Besides, that would drive up the material cost for the jeans when most of us would be chopping 4 inches off.

Basing shrinkage off of longer raw inseams (i.e. 38") bothers me because people will reference the maximum shrinkage (i.e. 3 inches) rather than the percentage. I'll wager that a pair of these jeans with a 33" raw inseam will not shrink down to 30", and you'll be stuck in the opposite situation with jeans that are too long.

36 would be nice

^^ in fact, I just want (or "need") an inseam of 36" when all shrinkage is gone as I'm rather tall. I wouldn't wear them when they turn out to be below 35" washed. So, what I was trying to say is, that a longer inseam shouldn't be a criteria for anybody not to get these jeans (you can hem them, right?), but a too short inseam might be (unless you like the Hayashi look which I don't). So I say - make it wearable for everybody when it is that easy.

[drapygo]

We're entering the final stretch! Just received the jeans and is currently measuring and testing!

[kit714]

[setterman]

looking forward to the measurements

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah, I definitely get these hemmed right away. 36" raw and then I let surprise myself with what I will end up

[big truck]

If the Devis fit like that pic, then I am in.

[demonator]

Yes it fits like that almost round 95% and yes thatsbhownyou should wear em

[denimproject]

Dear all.

I have to apologize to you due to....

we had miss the 1st rial for any reason.

One of them, the factory side miss understood fabric type for 1st trial.

They used the non shrink type one so lost the silhouette from dead stock denim.

Of course I had already feedback this bad reality to the factory side now.

We will fix and catch up any issue by next trial.

but take more a couple of weeks again.

If you can't wait more, please remove your name form the list.

sorry for trouble you.

[aho]

Taichi, not a problem! I know the contestants aren't in this because they want a pair of jeans fast; we are all genuinely excited for the jeans you've envisioned to be produced and I certainly don't mind waiting a few more weeks for the final product. Thanks for keeping us posted, it's not an easy task to spec out and produce 30+ pairs of jeans in the span of a few months so please don't worry about making us wait! It will definitely be worth it

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^seconded

It's not like we are running around with no pants (at least I don't think so)

It would have been nice to start before the HDWC2 but oh well...some weeks won't matter!

[SLAB]

delay does not matter to me; gives me some extra time for my Ooe's

[coleslawyum]

Also allows me to get some loot together....

[grooveholmes]

^ Indeed. It'll be worth the wait.

[Adit]

yes it is worth to wait....

[movingslow]

this actually works out perfectly for me money wise. Just adopted a pup without thinking about my bank account and this contest first!

[ranonranonarat]

still excited nevermind the hiccups. a lot of us here have already more than enough pants anyway!

appreciate the update and if anything, adds to the excitement!

[Mike On Autopilot]

Apologies if this is a dumb question but is registration already over?

[drapygo]

It's still open.

[patchmb]

Definitely worth the wait for me. No trouble at all Taichi..
