UES Official Contest 2014/1/1 - 2014/12/31

[beautiful_FrEaK]

UES doesn't mark as a gift with low value, that might be the reason.

 

Weather is better and I just took 3 new detail pics

Why you shouldn't use too hot water for shrinking your denim

 

[Somar]

The eagle has landed (yesterday)!! And the eagle made me pay another 90 euro.... DAMNNN!! I'll post pics + measurements tonight.

[Vanquish Gold]

I went for another spinning cycle in the washing machine, the jeans did shrink a little bit more but after 4 hours of wear I am back at the same stage : (

they're definitely too big for me. 

I am sorry to jump out of the boat before it leaves but I think there's no point in joining the contest for me atm, with a pair that doesn't fit well. I couldn't guarantee the level of commitment and extensive wear that a good contest deserves.

the jeans are for sale, should I sell them soon i will get another pair in a size 34 and join the contest at a later time. I don't want to get back exactly the same money I spent, so for all the stout W36 guys out there, if you want to buy 'em just make me an offer i could not refuse!

they're fantastic quality and a beautiful cut.

 

@ B_F I will get in touch with Lee and tell him about this.

Guys I am having the same problem too, went for nearly a month worth of wear and it just doesn't fit me right. Tried real hard to make the fit work but the hip swell is really too overwhelming after stretch. I really envy Thin Finn's fit!

Shoot me a message, we will find an agreement!

Hi! I'm new here and I wanna join the contest. I had wear 400t for a week now. Here is my fitpic

This one is a pre-soak size29

And this one is a post soak pic. I think the leg is pretty big for me, a bit more tapered would fit very well.

Sorry for the poor picture quality.

[Somar]

Man I'm so happy with this pair. I think I made too much pics and I'll show you every one of them

[Max Power]

Thanks for the close-ups, they look great! I hope I get my pair today, stay tuned.

[Somar]

 Okay, I bought a pair and got it, what now?

• Please make at least monthly updates of your jeans, your experience with your jeans

 

Let's go then:

 

I filled a big bucket with hot water from the tap and then I put my UES in for 30 minutes. After that I let them hang for a while. Then I put them, together with my Livid Jeans, in the washing machine. I did a short cycle (38 minutes) on 30 degrees.

 

I did this yesterday. They weren't completely dry when I checked this morning. I hope I can finally put them on tonight!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks for the pics and it looks like you have a very good cam. Looking forward to more pictures in the future

[Somar]

Thanks man.

 

I'm not a pro (not even close to being called ''a good amateur'' actually, LOL) but I love making pics, especially with the macro lens.

Yes, indeed. I love active threads (especially in competitions), yet I must admit that I prefer pictures taken with real cameras a lot over the nowadays common smartphone pictures. No hate in any direction, i just realized that good quality shots seem to be the exception to the rule these days.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I agree with you Flo. The phone cam is just more convenient (as you always have them at hand) and you know how we humans are...lazy That's why we will see certainly more phone pics. But I rather see phone pics over no pics

[SLAB]

those are some great macro pictures!

[Somar]

Thanks SLAB!

[geL-]

I will take some pics this week. For now fit pic with some fading debut:

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^looking good! the thighs seem to start fading

[Somar]

I'm finally home and they are almost dry... Too bad it's too dark to take post soak fit pictures. That will have to wait till tomorrow.

 

I do have the pre soak fit pics:

The fit looks great from the side and back, but the hipflare is really intense (as on other's pairs as well). I'm sure this will wear off, but I'm kinda scared of a too carrot-like fit myself. Well, on wednesday I suppose we'll see. The measurements however let me expect hipflare.

[Somar]

Extra info: The waist was really tight after the initial soak yesterday. I could button up all the way, but it definitely wasn't pleasant. Now I'm wearing them for the second time and they already stretched back and they fit very comfortably. I thought they would need a week or so, but one wear seems to be enough.

 

 

 

P.S. Damn these are comfortable and soft!   

[beautiful_FrEaK]

if a waist really needs a week to be comfortable the pair is too tight so you are good. usually it should take some hours and a bit of movement until the jeans fir again.

[Somar]

Working from 9 to 5 left me no other option... Making fit pics at work when the boss is gone!    

 

This is the result after soaking + washing. I don't think I got all the shrinkage out, so I may do another HOT soak.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[bradl]

Fit looks great, I would suggest a small cuff and I think that would complete the look!

 

Quite jealous of all the pics, looking forward to the updates.

[Somar]

Thanks bradl!

 

Actually, what I had in mind was to leave this pair uncuffed. I took a bit of a gamble by ordering the regular inseam (as opposed to the extra long one) so that the inseam length after soaking would be perfect to let them uncuffed. I'm very satisfied with the results 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Length is on point at the moment IMO. If you wear some boots, then a cuff could look good.

Fit from the back looks great, from the front the crotch are area looks sloppy.

For my pair it's the other way 'round

 

I'm sure they will conform to your body very soon and look even better!
