Denim World Championship - SuFu Division

[BionicEye]

Unders- i noticed it too but i dont understand it either

there must be an explanation

 

i wish i had a better camera

 

 

[nizzel55]

I was not happy with yesterdays photos. So I tried to take two new ones today.

They did sadly not turn out better. I guess I need to take more then two photos next time so that I got some to choose from.

megatron- i saw some evolution pics of the iron heart 21 oz / 23 oz denim
if they will turn like that i will be very happy

so here u are
 

[bradl]

Nice updates everybody!

Now, that Bradl got his pair there is no excuse left for me anymore - need to get my entry set up and ready to go this weekend...

Excellent, looking forward to seeing what you choose but I am going to guess it will be a pair of SDA which is exciting.

[Broark]

Just got my OA02XX's back from repair, I think the crotch blowout issue should be covered for a good while now!

Need to get my updates taken care of now that I've got my pair back.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I really suck at contests…

My original plan was to wear the Resolute 710 for the DWC. Just some days before I switched to the Denime 20^th Anniversary pair…and guess what?

The pair I wear most of the time now is the Resolute 710.

Which I rotate with my Ooe Yofukuten, Warehouse 1001SXX, or Denime 25^th Anniversary. But mainly it is the Resolute 710 that I wear (at least 5 days a week).

[Maynard Friedman]

Just switch back to the Resolutes as your competition pair T. Why don't you want to wear the Denime 20ths so often?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Well I would have ask Gavin for permission and it might cause a flood of inquiries from others who want to switch...

 

Honestly, I am not sure The Resolute are a bit more comfy and the fit is more modern. But the denim is underwhelming compared to the Denime..still I prefer the Resolute

[Maynard Friedman]

You have the same outlook as me there T - the cut is king.

[itschrisb]

Prewash pictures, haven't had a chance to get post wash pictures yet. Im at the 2.5months mark on these and they're coming along nicely. I made a big update on both on the DWC forum.

@karanimal - wow 

 

@b_F - of course you can switch back man, many others have had a change of heart and switched, not a problem.

[Max Power]

3 Months, a few washes and I love that denim.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@karanimal - wow 

 

@b_F - of course you can switch back man, many others have had a change of heart and switched, not a problem.

 

So should I simply re-name my DWC-thread and switch all the pics from the Denime to the Resolute?

[Megatron1505]

Yep, that would do it 

[FLDenim211]

Happy 4th of July to everyone that it matters to.

[Blue Nemo]

July 2015 Flat Head update, 3 washes and then a Fanya inspired shower soak. I think i'll continue with the shower soaks from this point on unless they really start to need a machine wash

Was the same where I am (well not quite so hot, 33 I think) but humid too. I bottled it and went for shorts :-(

[Blue Nemo]

nice update karanimal!

 

and yeah, holio, I may just be too stubborn or anti-knowing-better-through-experience to wear shorts.

it was horrible, but I was pretty happy anyway in my chambray shirt, tshirt and jeans :-D

Nice fades after only 3-4 months! You have very solid roping development already.

 

Also did you buy this pair of TFH from Japan? The arc still looks like the original version.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So, since I thought it was better to switch my pairs here are the detail pictures of my Resolute 710 for the first challenge!

 

 

paper patch

 

top button

 

engraved backside of the buttons

 

rounded rivets for that '60s style

 

backside of those rivets

 

typical Hayashi-san detail: selvedge pocket bags

 

the hidden "red tab"

[beautiful_FrEaK]

bartacks instead of hidden rivets

 

the button holes are clean

 

yellow/golden selvedge line

 

 

and the factory that created these beauties

[Blue Nemo]

the pocket bag's fabric looks awesome!

the rest too :-P

I never thought that IH was a brand that I'd be into, but wow, those are gorgeous. 

[mpukas]

For the past couple of weeks it's been hot and sunny in CO. Low to mid 90's. Today is the first day it's been overcast and low's 80's in that time. Too hot to wear jeans of any sort for me, let alone 25oz. My tux has been racked for the time being. 

 

[bradl]

That's the main reason I wouldn't enter into the tux division till at least October.

 

 

Who ever thought hand stitching buttons on a pair of jeans would be remotely durable needs to give their head a shake.

 

[cmboland]

First wash on my FHxNFxTY Flathead 3xxx 14.5 denim

 

3 months of solid wear on them. I'm not the hardest on my jeans so theyre not super drastic.
