Ooe Yofukuten: 2016 Contest Interest Thread

[mrsmiff]

I have a roll of what could phenomenal pocketing here - it's the stuff that Circle A used for this:

This is straight off of a wash on cold and hang-dry.  They're already getting looser from when these were shot.

 

[mrsmiff]

Here's that herringbone twill:

i'm pretty excited about the fit after seeing those fit pics..i think i'll size up to a 35!

[Broark]

Very interested in that fabric, would make for some great pocket bags!

Ok I got you on that - updated your size request.

Can you measure the backrise?

Is there a timeframe for when orders must be placed? I don't mean to drag my feet but I probably won't get around to ordering and paying until this weekend.

I'd like to get this wrapped by end of weekend, so that's fine.

[mrsmiff]

I've got confirmed waists and inseams for all of your guys except Rayw44, and it looks like we can squeeze a couple more folks in, just in case anyone else is on the fence.

[mrsmiff]

Can you measure the backrise?

 

17" from the 4-way seam at the bottom of the crotch.

 

 

Size updates on my OA02XX - after 10 hours of wear, 2 short bike rides, and an hour of working on my motorcycle, the waist is now 18", and the thigh closer to 11".

[tigerstrom]

@mrsmiff If I change my mind on which size to get do I still have time to do that? I'm thinking of maybe go down to a 34 again.

[BionicEye]

These are gonna fade in quick - but I also have a full restock of the OA02XX coming in March as well.

I'm closing this out today - anyone else who wants in has until 6pm PST to let me know!

[tigerstrom]

I'm looking forward to get this going! I hope we can get some updates on the making of the jeans!

[guthriegking]

^^^That would be rad!

[aho]

mrsmiff, will you be posting a list of everyone and their sizes/info as well? Excited to get this going, hard not thinking about the jeans for the next few months 

 

 

For any stragglers; Sign up and buy now or forever hold your peace!

I'm definitely looking forward to some closeups of the fabric, I'd love to see some process photos and a mockup of the patch!

[ironheartfan123]

i'd like to see this list as well before it's sent off to OOE to confirm that I'm down for a tagged 35 waist and a 29" post-wash inseam

 

also hoping ooe offers a sneak peek or two of the denim, patch, or construction etc

[aho]

^Confirming that a list will be posted shortly!

[mrsmiff]

I'm going to get this all submitted to Ooe today.  Thanks to everyone for the hustle on this! 

[aho]

^Thanks again for your efforts as well! Excited to get this going, and already looking forward to receiving the jeans. And now....the dreaded wait....

[Sugar Mountain]

Strong list of participants. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do with the jeans. 

 

JohnM owes us all an explanation for his choice of patch name though. Fan of the United Nations?

[JohnM]

^  Good catch Sugar Mountain!  I just re-read a book from my youth by Dag Hammarskjold called Markings.  Great book and highly recommended, though not for those who prefer mysteries or action and adventure!

[ironheartfan123]

wow i just realized i have the second shortest inseam, i'm about 5'9'' (5'10'' on  good day) and suddenly feel very short! 

[ALB]

Heh, you're fine, ironheartfan. I'm sure a good amount of us, me included, left it a bit longer to cuff them up.

[aho]

Strong contestant list indeed!

 

I'm 5'8" and always get my jeans hemmed to shrink to a 28" inseam, and STILL cuff but I guess I wear my jeans a bit different than others lol...For reference, old shot of my original Ooe contest pair (02XX cut):
