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

[Max Power]

I don't think I washed as often as you did, hence the darker colour. In the first months I only did some handwashes while wearing them in the tub. I started the frequent machine washing in May or June. And as the combs were pretty set then, it's easy to rearrange them while the pair dries. I do that on all my pairs. And combs were never my problem, as I sit a lot in the office, so my Jeans crease and hold the shape easily.

I also guess that Flo is using his bycicle a lot what really improve strong honey combs and creases a lot

Can't believe you guys only have a month left! Great progress by everyone!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I stil have some pics from my last trip I owe you guys...will upload them later today (hopefully).

 

I might send my pair to Florian so he can take proper pics of my pair and compare them to his pair

[Max Power]

Sounds like a plan! When does the contest officially end?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

End of the contest is December 31st 2014

First little set of my last trip

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the UES...they look better in real life IMO 

 

[volvo240thebest]

great photo Til! and I like the jacket as well

[Max Power]

Final post / update, as I will be away from home a while and won't wear them much further (might take a picture together with b_fs pair, though). Should we open a final submissions thread?

[Max Power]

Focus on the patch:

Focus on the back:

[Maynard Friedman]

They look fantastic Max, you and Somar are definitely the Sufu front runners from what I've seen.

[bradl]

That patch took a beating! Is that just from washing?

[Max Power]

Yes, I washed at 40 - 60 degrees and oiled it regular with Mustang Paste. A 70 °C wash killed it some weeks ago. But the burned stamp got cracks pretty quick.

My pair is now on the way to Florian. I am really curious how they will look on his pictures and compared to his pair (probably my pair will look brand new next to his pair)

[Max Power]

Unfortunately DHL is on strike today, otherwise I might have gotten in tomorrow. But maybe we're lucky (I think I used up all my bad Karma with this contest already, looking back at the 2 months delayed deilvery and the hemburning affair).

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So would it be still ok if they arrive next week?

Since they doesn't seem to be recorded at DHL yet, I have my doubts they will be on their way this weekend

[Max Power]

Yes, that will be ok. I have to do some Business travelling but it will all be good.

 

 

Haven't heard back from Lee to my last two mails...anybody else? I hope that this contest will find an official ending and would love to hear more about the 23 oz denim.

[Somar]

Nice time lapse max!

 

Haven't had any time to be online since I moved to Berlin a month ago. But I will make sure to upload one last update. I skipped update number 11 because I was wearing the Red Cloud 400 for the ''Red Cloud World Tour''. Pics will be online around the end of december.

 

I really liked this contest and I hope Lee from UES also enjoyed watching it (if he had time to? )

 

three more weeks to go!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

And some more pics from my last trip

 

 

 

 

 

And the final destination:

Neuschwanstein!

 

 

Proof I was really there

 

 

When you visit Neuschwanstein and that region, you could easily think you are in Japan 70% of all the people there and 90% of all tourists where of Japanese (or Asian origin). I even saw one dude with a pair of Fullcounts!

[Bill_e_jean]

one of my favourite places in germany!

[Max Power]

I love it, too. The hike behind the bridge is awesome. I really miss the time I lived nearby.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thx to MaxP, I now have some proper pics of my jeans! Thanks a lot man!

Will post them tomorrow!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Final update on my jeans, just 2 pics as the rest doesn't seem to upload to flickr.

Thanks again Flo!

 

Around 7-8 months of wear and probably 4,5 or 6 washes

 

 

[Flash]

very nice mate , would love to see them after another few months 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

For now they are with Flo but you are quite right, they can only get better. But unfortunately the crotch is thinning out...

 

Here are some comparison shots Flo did from his and my pair.

 

 

 

[Max Power]

I didn't expect that much evo on them, from the cellphone pictures they looked way darker. I feel like the're almost identical in colour and terms of fading. I did some pictures with one leg belonging to each pair - it could almost be mistaken as one pair.

[Sugar Mountain]

Both pairs looking really, really nice guys. Love the comparison shots too... they remind me of Brown Metallic's Fullcount vs Momotaro shots, which is no bad thing.
