Ooe Yofukuten: 2016 Contest Interest Thread

[garden gnomes in space]

yea, I expressed interest but I just cant justify the price.  Will probably regret it when you all are having a  kick ass contest

[guthriegking]

Using the #17 isn't a deal breaker for me. Just excited to finally have a pair ooe's, and there's no better excuse than to have a contest along with it.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Standard price for Ooe is 300$ at S&S which is more than fair considering all the additional costs involved when importing goods.

How much would shipping cost from you guys to Germany? 

[Paul T]

Aho, you are such a star for organising this. Best of luck with the comp!

[aho]

^Thank you for the well wishes my friend! 

 

We should have pricing solidified on this tomorrow evening or so if anyone is on the fence. Aiming to get orders in by the end of the week to get this going ASAP! I'm already looking forward to getting these jeans and am glad that Ooe is able to push an order out that quick!

 

 

#17 is calling us all...

[tigerstrom]

Good work! I love that this is going quick! I hope we can fill the last 7 spots so we reach around 20 contestants!

[aho]

We won't have to hit 20 to make it a sure thing but I think around 15 would be solid especially if everyone contributes, and I have no excuses since the jeans will fit me this time around

Either way, the more the merrier!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Awaiting the final price tomorrow but keep me on the list for interested people

[Max Power]

This will be a great contest and I'm really torn wether to participate or not. I would prefer #43 and have enough pairs that Need Attention, so I am out - but I'm sure I will regret it. Have fun, guys!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

You should Flo!

#43 was the denim from Ooe you always wanted

[Max Power]

I know, but as I read it we will get the #17, no?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Oh…you might be right.

I just thought if we are over 10 participants we would have the option to take the #17 but that the denim still has to be decided.

[SLAB]

very interested in the LHT option but the pricing is a bit on the high side for me; will keep an eye on the final price

[rayw44]

Count me in! I'm going to snap some pics of my pair from the first contest just to encourage anyone on the fence to get in this.

cheap Ray, just cheap...

[aho]

Glad to have some OG contest interest! Would love to see some updates on your pair rayw44 if you've still been wearing them? You had my favorite tracks of all the pairs! SLAB, don't forget how epic your pair was as well (btw, any updates on the 92 denim and WH 15th you had?), it was a grand time following everyone the last time around!

 

garden, you're a stone's throw from S&S; think of how much faster you'd have your pair than anyone else!

[SLAB]

thanks Aho

i've only sporadically worn my 92's and WH 15th. Working on a pair of WH 800 and RMC Lot 004.

Most likely picking up the 900 as well in spring

[rayw44]

 These were taken right before the first contest ended.

 

 

 

I was 10+ pounds heavier then, so the jeans were becoming unwearable. I have since lost the weight and still wear these all the time. I have no idea how many days or months they have been worn, but I wear them 3 or more days a week and wash them about once a month or when they seem funky. They have been through a round of hand repairs I attempted and another round of repairs Jyoni handled.

 

Here's the contest pair as of yesterday evening. Pics taken indoors with no natural light on an iPhone 6s (I'll grab a few this weekend when I get to see daylight and post to the dedicated Ooe thread). The color is a bit off, but I think you get the idea of how great Ooe's get with dedicated wear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[royalcheese]

I might do the same though my pair got 0 votes at the end LOL

But i def encourage anyone who has the cash to join...!

Count me in! I'm going to snap some pics of my pair from the first contest just to encourage anyone on the fence to get in this.

Edit: dope pics rayw44!

[ironheartfan123]

is it possible to get the 43 denim or is this 17 denim only now? any more info on the 17 denim?

[givemefive]

Aho, is it possible to get a longer inseam than the 36" seen on the website?  I would definitely jump at the chance for a pair if the inseam is long enough for me.

[lsaylor]

I would like to get in on this as well. I have been wanting a pair of this brand for over 6 months and seems impossible to buy a pair. I have been on a waiting list with SS and I contacted them today and let them know that I am considering these. I will wait to see if I am on your list then I will pay as needed. I am looking forward to getting involved with this contest.

[aho]

ironheartfan123, at this point we're going with the #17! Only info unfortunately is what's on the first post and I haven't seen/found any other faded examples. New territory but perfect for a contest! Ooe picked this fabric after all

 

givemefive, extra length is okay per Ooe! 

 

lsaylor, awesome, glad to have you on board and you're on the list!

[aho]

damn, rayw44! It's going to be a good time with the new pair...

 

 

Alright, Standard & Strange was able to work out pricing on their end, and the jeans will be as follows:

$300 SHIPPPED in the USA

$300 + Shipping for international (varies by country, via Priority Express 3-5 days or slowboat 15+ days)

 

Please note that for international, you'll be able to have your package marked with a lower value (without insurance) upon request. I hope everyone is as excited by this as me!

Great price!

 

Thanks aho for working this out

Will be watching from the side line

[guthriegking]

Awesome!  Will we have info on when/how to order later this week? 

[tigerstrom]

That's great aho! I'm looking forward to this!

[aho]

Indeed, we should have more ordering info by the weekend!

[aho]

Got some sample pics of the #17 from Ooe! Apologies for the resolution/photo quality:

 

 

 

 

Let's get this thing started already!
