More great updates coming in

[cander49]

Cool stuff. I'm surprised at how few people have posted final submissions so far though. Is there another forum on which people are posting final entries?

There's a few on the Iron Heart forum, but yeah it seems like a lot of people haven't gotten around to it yet.

[louisbosco]

will be posting as soon as i'm back in singapore. currently at the airport. finally managed to get some overall shots and sort out older pictures last week.

[Megatron1505]

If there are more than 25 final submissions I will eat my jeans.....though not the new Sammies as they would break my teeth.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

^Gav I love this

I couldn't eat or destroy any of my jeans since this would break my raw denim heart ha ha

[FLDenim211]

I have one more brutal weekend to put my jeans through then I will post my pictures.

[louisbosco]

just some final photos for this thread.

 

[cander49]

Fantastic work, Louis. I think those are the most impressive pair in the super heavy category. 

[louisbosco]

thanks cander! thankfully, we're not in the same category. your pair is impressive as well.

[Megatron1505]

I'm completely blown away by those Louis, for some reason I just didn't know how awesome your jeans look at the moment. Well done mate, they're amazing.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Fully agree, beautiful work Louis!!

[louisbosco]

thanks gav and ruedi. they've been worn religiously over the past two years. i may not have that outdoor lifestyle that cander has but still i try my best..

[KrisB]

@louis damn great stuff man. I really dig how you've faded the calf area. Very atypical 

[cander49]

thanks gav and ruedi. they've been worn religiously over the past two years. i may not have that outdoor lifestyle that cander has but still i try my best..

 

I think they look better than mine. I wore mine too hard and now they don't have the contrast that yours does! I'm glad we're not in the same category also.

[Max Power]

You both were my favorites, together with fanya.

[louisbosco]

@kris honestly, i wouldn't know how the calf fades came about if you ask me. at one point i was a little fuss that the knee down weren't fading much. and without realising, after look at the photos i've posted, that there's some light fading there.

 

@max, speaking of fanya. i've been anxiously waiting and looking forward to his final updates...

[bradl]

Also looking forward to netleys pair.

[Chubacca]

Louis, still one of my favorites I've seen so far.  Netley's will be amazing as well.  I'm glad I'm not a judge.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

It's already almost impossible and very hard for me to do a fair ranking.

I'll try my best, when all submissions have been updated.

Gav can let me know when time has come to judge

[Megatron1505]

May 1st is when judging begins, you will have 4 weeks.

[KrisB]

Where's tongsf?

[who8mahrice]

Ive been waiting for some sun to get good shots of my jeans...been dark and rainy all week. Still haven't washed my jeans in my two years either...should I do it now?! I clarified with saintkeat a while back who said soaking didn't count towards the prize for not washing so hopefully no one else has gone without washing except me =p. The prize jeans are in my size, hehe.

[Noodle36]

Will try and post this weekend. In the meantime something I found funny.

X-post from the final pic thread.  Thanks for organizing this Mega!

 

OK...  It's been a great couple of years with these jeans.

Oni Secret Denim (18oz).  Heavy weight category.

These past two years haven't been as exciting for me as for some other contestants, so I don't have any pictures other than the jeans to show.

 

Here is what the jeans looked like when I first got them:

 

And here they are now:

 

Being worn...  No one else to take the pictures for me...

 

Some details... First, the wear on the button.  I find it funny that the enamel wore off of the top, but none of the others.

 

And a few shots of the texture (rather unique material on the Onis):

 

I don't think that the material is going to take too much more before it starts tearing all over the place.

[nizzel55]

I love the texture of those Oni BlueOctoberFan.

[BlueOctoberFan]

They are excellent. I've loved wearing them and look forward to wearing them again once I've lost a few pounds...

[Max Power]

Great Onis, BOF! I always loved the blue rain colour.

 

I decided to start another big project in my contest pair.
