Denim World Championship - SuFu Division

Imgur is pretty straight forward IMO.

Imgur is the best for quick snaps and getting things done quickly

 

I use flickr as a backup for more important photos since it retains a higher quality photo and stores the exif data. Its also nicer to look at

Sydney Vivid has started up again, here's some pics from the first evening last night. Hopefully I'll be able to find some time to get some better shooting spots over the next two weeks

Thanks @cucco , I'm on Imgur now.

 

Anyways here's my May update, I havent been wearing much of the gear as it's starting to really warm up inmy area. also I havent been wearing my pants as they have intense rips that need darning. I'm planning on sending them in to indigoproof soon, just need the coin.

Holy shit. They're getting better and better. I'd put them to rest however or you'll have no Jeans left at the end of the contest.

[volvo240thebest]

fierce job there KrisB!

[chicote]

nice work dude! you thrashed the hell outta those jeans. how did you get the crotch to tear like that?

[KrisB]

@chicote

I do a lot it skateboarding which strains the crotch area as I do so many kicks and jumps, and running while skating. The slimmer cut also adds to the crotch rips, had I sized up or got a roomier cut, it would of probably lasted longer before blowing out.

After this pair I really want a roomier cut so I don't have to trip up about crotch rips as much as I have been

Dang that 25oz fabric is coming along really well. Hopefully one day my jacket will be that far along

[d-rew12]

Just gave my 0500's another wash. Roughly 10.5 months with 6 washes. I added my Warehouses into my rotation a few weeks ago so the Samurai's aren't worn all the time anymore (although still like 75% of the time). They're holing up quite well except for the back pockets are falling apart, and the crotch is finally starting to fray a bit.

Your jacket looks amazing already! 

[setterman]

WH1001, 294 days of wear.  Going to wear them the rest of the week so they hit 300 by Sunday, give them a wash, and then send of them off for repairs.  Will get detailed shots of all the wear and tear before sending them away.  

 

[garden gnomes in space]

those look great Setterman.  WH grail status

[setterman]

Thanks Chris!  

 

Some close ups of damage to be fixed next week.  Need crotch, yoke, wallet fade, and pocket openings repaired, then I should be good to go for the remainder of the contest.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

And comparison between fresh and worn 1001 denim

Was going to the local arcade with a friend and while inside he says to me "dude, you have a hole in your ass". Shit... Looked down thinking it was the hole that was already there in my left pocket. Wrong... My right pocket completely blew apart haha, almost lost my wallet. Guess I need to learn how to sew...

 

 

EDIT: Didn't want to double post so here are some pics of the final job. I ended up sewing them back together. I bought some "jean thread" at the local fabric store which is a faded blue color. It blends in pretty well with the rest of the jeans so you can't really see it, which is probably a good thing since I did an awful job of trying to sew straight...

TripleWorks666N. soaked twice, washed once...

 

[setterman]

300 days of wear.  Just got sixth wash (excluding two initial), now on their way to Indigo Proof for repairs.  Close up is more representative of actual color.

Awesome pair, might just have turned to by my personl favorite. Let's hope that the jury is into vintage fades as well.

[setterman]

Thanks! I'm hoping they like them too. If I'm lucky enough to win anything, there's a group I'd prefer the sponsors donate $$$ to rather than giving me anything.
