Denim World Championship - SuFu Division

[nizzel55]

Had a couple of beers and saw/listened to Bombus at Malmöfestivalen (malmofestivalen.se) yesterday.

Took two pictures today of the jeans.

Day 81.

[Max Power]

Damn, I miss my pair. Can't wait to get them back from the tailor.

[Slowitchu]

@Nizzel55 I was actually also in Helsingborg this weekend with my girlfriend for a big car meet.

 

 

Me and some friends also participated in the Stockholm Pride Parade a few weeks ago, it's really one of the best things about summer!

 

 

My Samurai's is still going pretty slow but some good things are starting to show, a wash is due soon though. 

 

[karanimal]

I've landed a job in Sydney where i can pull off jeans! YAY!

 

We'll see how long it last tho, i'm sensing about 4 more months of wear and the flat heads will be too beat up to be presentable 

[mpukas]

I've had a moment of complete idiocy... re: my 634-XHS tailoring... 

 

I sent them to RCFG to get hemmed and tapered. I usually hem my jeans to 33 inseam, but I wanted to play with stacks on this pair so I instructed RCFG to hem them to 34. Tapered to 8" opening. I requested the extra hem that would be cut off sent back. I never received any hem pieces, and didn't think anything of it. 

 

Since I've had them back and have been wearing them for, oh 3+ months now, I've always thought they were too long (as many here have probably also noticed, but have too kind to mention anything). I've been thinking that 34 is way too long for me, and at some point I should send them back for another 1" cut off. But I never measured them. I finally did today, while measuring some other jeans, and as it turns out, it appears that they were not hemmed at all. The inseam is 35.5. Originally it was 36. Maybe they were hemmed 1/2" or so when they inseam was taken apart for the tapering, but nothing significant. 

 

Now I know why they feel like they're too long. 34 should be a good length after, LOL! 

[d-rew12]

^ I feel your pair, but I'm the opposite. I wanted my Samurai's hemmed to 29" (hemmed in SF) but they came back 28~28.5". While not a huge deal, I could have really used that extra .5-1"...

 

But I am actually going to send my S0500's into railcar later this weekend to be slimmed down a tiny bit and tapered. After that they should be pretty good. Only have about 2 months in them with 2 washes but not much to show for it.

@Slowitchu

Those Samurais are starting to look mighty fine.

[Blue Nemo]

tomorrow, or today (its late at my place..), MaxPower and i are going to visit almostnice/Markus at the Red Wing ShoeStore in hamburg, for some coffee, beer and insane denim talk!

 

at least i will be wearing my contest pair, maybe we can snap a picture, for the old times' sake!

[tigerstrom]

I miss the times when almostnice was here! He always posted good pictures and showed really nice denim evolution!

[spitfiredealer]

70 wears

[Megatron1505]

Guys, I have not been very active recently due to personal health issues. Just checking in to let you know that I am still monitoring the contest and administrating the forum and email requests daily. 

 

Because you don't see me doesn't mean I'm not still here 

 

I'm about to go on a two week break with my family, so I'll be monitoring everything as and when possible. Requests may take a little longer to process than normal.

 

Keep rocking those jeans.

Best of luck Mega, enjoy your trip!

[Max Power]

Get better, Gavin. All the best to you & your family.

 

Representing Hamburg - Blue Nemo, almostnice & me.

What bugs me most, is that Constantins Jeans blend perfectly in to our worn in pairs (my WH is still being repaired). Shows tht frequent washing is a good thing - they look fabulous in reality.

[tigerstrom]

Is the last pic Constantins denimes? They are amazing!

[Max Power]

Indeed, they are.

[tigerstrom]

Oh, I'm going to put my evisus in the washingmachine right now!

[bod]

Do it. I miss pulling on my old 2000's all clean and soft after a wash.

[BrownMetallic]

I see every1's been busy

Me, on the other hand, 'been lagging waaay behind on the fade dept.

Got foot surgery recently & had been semi-sedentary most of summer. But, 2yrs is plenty of time to catch up ;)

Pretty sure I cachéd a few ataris somewhere on there__ just need a wash for visual confirmation . Apologies for crappy iPhone pix ... DigiCam is still unavailable

[itschrisb]

Haven't had an update in awhile, I blew the crotch out in my jeans and lost interest in wearing them for the past few weeks because of it. Hopefully getting them repaired soon!

Everyone's updates are looking great! Jealous of all the adventure photos.

[Blue Nemo]

^^yeah, youre right. two years is way enough to catch up.

 

if at some point i don't stop and put my 66's into a rotation they will be completely white after the two years!

[itschrisb]

I'm dying for a pair of left field chinos anyway, hoping to rotate the two.

[Max Power]

Those WHxYamane look great already. I might get my 800s back tomorrow. I think they'll see a frequent wash from now on, until the 710 DNM drop in November. A lot of inspiration coming from the Denime 66.

[nizzel55]

My car did not want to start this morning after taking the family to the beach in Malmö.

Had to leave it there. Went back with jumping cables after the kids fell asleep. The sunset was lovely. Had to snap some pictures.

My sister came by with her car and we got my car up and running again. Do not know what was wrong with it.

Battery perhaps.

First I went by this tree that someone have dressed up. I think my daughter would get scared by it.

[nizzel55]

And the jeans.

Day 85

[Lukenstein]

I Recently went for a stroll through an area of land behind my house which contains 8 sports fields, an rc car track, skatepark , drone and remote plane flying area, a library, mega playground and some sneaky benches for me to skate on.

[Max Power]

Took some photos for the "show us your environmnt" challenge as well. Chose the harbour as most touristic area of Hamburg, even if it's 15 min away from my actual quarter.

[Bill_e_jean]

I Love Hamburg. Such a great city!
