Selvedge tortoise

[ironheartfan123]

if the selvedge tortoise didn't arrive today (did it?), should we start to panic?

[Sugar Mountain]

After getting a pair of regular OA-02 yesterday, I'm having pangs of regret about not joining this contest! The timing sadly didn't work for me but you are all in for a real treat. Such brilliantly crafted jeans. Hope they reach you all soon.

[aho]

lol I'm patient...This is already the fastest organized contest from ideation to production of all time 

 

...but also my OA01XX are really taking off the past month. Will post the eventual "last wash before they hit the closet" after pics once the contest jeans arrive

[ALB]

Yeah, I'm just glad we got this as quick as we did. One month to get all the interest, payment, and jeans made? That's insanely quick. I mean, we're probably getting the jeans next week while my cds I've ordered from russia have yet to arrive 3 weeks later...

 

Good job, aho and standard and strange.

[alvin_cheong]

@SM wow, can't wait for you to post the pre and post soak pics in the Ooe section.

[mrsmiff]

No need to panic.   Box location is known, and in motion towards us.  No USPS employees got free jeans this month!

[Broark]

Maybe today will be the day...

No worries think we're just giving you a hard time

[erockisalive]

I've been lurking on this thread, and I'm on the edge of my seat. Maybe today will be the day.

This seems unusually long for a package to make it from one part of california... to another.

^ I believe S&S is still awaiting initial receipt of the jeans which are coming from Japan

maybe I am misunderstanding but I thought the jeans had cleared US customs which I assumed was in California?

Now they are going from there to Oakland where S&S is.

[ironheartfan123]

i think all we know right now is that the box cleared u.s. customs, someone knows where the box is, and the box is being moved towards s&s...(at least it didn't get seized by customs); i've had a package take a few non-holidays to move from one part of l.a. to another.. hopefully it's just usps being slow

US customs office is in Chicago if I recall correctly.

[ironheartfan123]

they're everywhere!

[garden gnomes in space]

Y'all will have them before you know it

[aho]

My bad, I thought you meant you live in CA and were waiting for delivery! 😬

[corporalclegg]

Well guys, got mine in the mail today (I live in SF) and gave them a quick hot wash.  I work tonight and wanted to rush to get it done so i didnt take measurements but they definitely shrank up.  I got a size 32, 1 size up from my usual waist and can barely button them up, but they fit great except for the waist are absolutely amazing. The denim is also really interesting and im stoked to see it age

[Broark]

Wait whaaaaat?!

[lsaylor]

Say what???

[corporalclegg]

Oh yeah.  Roommate came up the steps and just tossed the package to me I was shocked.  Having trouble with loading photos onto my computer but took a few pre soak and some fit pics.  Lucky for me its like 80 degrees in SF today so they actually dried fast enough that I could try them on before splitting for work

[garden gnomes in space]

ok, cat out of the bag.  I have mine too but I picked them up in person.  They reacts almost EXACTLY like the normal XX denim, meaning they match Ooe's measurements almost to a T.

 

Before you wash, check your pockets
