sorry to hear that man.

I am counting hours now. parcel should leave customs today and hopefully get to me tomorrow or wednesday. i really hope to get them tomorrow so I'll have enough time to shrink and soak before I leave for a business trip..

[Somar]

Thanks Volvo. I am forced to be patient now.... but I can't. I want those jeans so bad!! haha

I just ordered mine a couple days ago, and I already want them to get here! I just hope I don't run into the same troubles that you do!

Im tempted…all this contest buzz makes me want to pull the trigger on a pair of Eternals.  Been almost a year since I picked up my mbb so Im due.  Going to Malaysia this spring though and hoping I can find some nice denim in Singapore…hopefully.

Drop by Tuckshop & Sundry Supplies in Singapore when you are able, Sir.

 

 

Dec 2013 update.

After a few weeks of wearing, like I said on the journal, I find absolute no reason not to wear this daily (unless washing...)

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

great outfit James!

[Obbigood]

Thanks, b_F.

Good jeans makes styling easier

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Haha, true that! So has everyone who received his pair has already posted? I should take some outfit pics soon but when I'm home it's already too dark for proper pics

[Max Power]

Quick update: No news regarding my pair, they say they would be on the way to my postbox since saturday morning, my complaints haven't been answered by the local office yet and in case anybody knows where the parcel is, they will send it back this week.

 

What seemed like a bad option is now my last hope - as it would mean, that at least somebody would handle my package. And that I would get a chance to get it sent home on holidays.

 

If it's lost: I would have to go through the hassle of reclaiming all the money I paid, including tax and the possible loss of currency exchange rate, shipping and new taxes...I guess that would take 3 years regarding their super fast service. So, if they don't show up, I think I would pass on the contest then.

Oh man, this whole situation really sucks. You know I still crossing my fingers for you.

And also for you Somar.

 

I hope all this stuff works out in the end we can all enjoy the jeans!

[Somar]

Damn, that doesn't sound so good Max! Thanks b_F, like you said fingers are crossed!

For sure!  Thanks!

I bought a pair last week at T&SS in Singapore 400T in size 34. I won't be part of the contest because I didn't buy them from one of the two approved outlets but I am happy to hang around this thread and post updates... as soon as I can wear them. Unfortunately, I am traveling right now and have been unable to find a bathtub or sufficiently large sink to give them a soak...... 

[llvlaglne]

Ocean or river will suffice

[volvo240thebest]

Delivery of my pair has been delayed because of big strikes but I should get hold of the parcel on Monday!

1 month update:

 

I will try to do some better pics in the sun today. With a fit pic also.

[frank]

^ looking good!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks for the pics! You sit a lot at work? Backside looks pretty faded already

[geL-]

Yeah this month i wasn't on set. I'm sit a lot buying some clothes and waiting for the next shooting to come

It start to fade on the front and the combs also but we can't see with the poor quality. I'm pretty sure this pair have a nice fade potential.

I just send this to Lee. with the covering picture as well.

 

When i see the obbigood pair i'm jealous i should have gone with a 33 and the 400z i really like the fit on you obbi. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I sit a lot at work. All the time...

 

 

Nearly 2 weeks, not much evo to show but I'll do nevertheless

 

Fadings from my new and beautiful OGL wallet

 

A little roping

[Vanquish Gold]

Fast fading, great for weekend warriors like me lol

[Max Power]

Nice fading going on. I'll mail Lee now to tell him that my jeans got lost. Trying to get a refund and depending on how much I get I'll joing you later or pass. Sorry.

[Maynard Friedman]

Maybe ThinFinn will sell you his 'spare' pair of 400T. I think they're the same size as his own but with a longer inseam

[Blacktocomm]

My jeans just got into the States! They should get to my house around the same time as I am taking my last final, I hope. That would be a wonderful gift to myself to end the semester!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Wuah! 3 days and no action in this thread. Don’t let it become a second “Devi’s Contest†in terms of activity

 

Any updates of you guys that haven’t received their jeans yet? The official start date is getting closer and closer.

 

 

I’ve worn my pair every day since I put them on December 1^st. I wouldn’t say that they fade fast like some speculated earlier. I’d say they are pretty normal faders. But when you look at the images from UES homepage and the wear –time those guys put into their UES jeans, I’d rather say that they fade slow. At least they won’t fade with a very high contrast. Might be a combination of the softness of the Zimbabwe cotton and the brownish tint of the weft.

[geL-]

I second that. 

I'm waiting for my camera and will do some pics and close up.

Guys come on put your pics!!!

[ThinFinn]

more pics during the next days...

[Somar]

Mine arrived in Tokyo today, I guess they will be ready for shipping again pretty soon. I had contact with LEE... He told me that if it will be necessary, he'll send me a brand new pair so that I have them before the contest begins.

 

As things look now, I think I'll have them between Christmass and New Year.

[Blacktocomm]

Guys, good news and bad news...

 

Good news is that my jeans came in today! The denim is much better than I expected, it is super fuzzy and awesome!

 

The bad news is that I ordered a size too small. So I am going to put them up for sale and see if I can pick up another pair before the contest starts. Bummer.

 

And since everyone wants pictures, and less talk.

 

 

No fit pics because my legs looked like 2 cannons stuck into sausage casings. So if you know anyone looking for a pair of 400S in size 32 they are up for sale!

[geL-]

Too bad...

I hope someone will joined the contest with your pair! I can only recommend to buy this...
