Ooe Yofukuten: 2016 Contest Interest Thread

[Bobbo]

Looking forward to watching this guys! Well played getting it up and running so fast.

[Broark]

I like the idea of starting an Instagram hashtag to follow the contest.

Maybe #TheDenimContest like it states on the patch? There aren't any posts with that one yet.

I think #OoeContest is good too. I'll admit, this is the most I've ever thought about a hashtag...

[givemefive]

i like #TheDenimContest

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Nice to see some progress! Have fun guys

[ironheartfan123]

wow what an awesome patch

[FeloniousMonk]

The customized patch is a wonderful detail, so psyched to see my pair. Amazing effort for Ryo and Hiro to go through for this contest!

 

FWIW, calling it #TheDenimContest seems a little... presumptuous. #OoeContest sounds pretty golden though, and short. Brevity is the soul of hashtagging.

[Broark]

I agree, #TheDenimContest is a bit presumptuous. Just mainly thought of it since it's on the patch itself. 

Whatever we end up going with will be good with me, I just want the jeans!

#broakwantsthejeans probably isn't the best hashtag for the contest...

[ironheartfan123]

i like #TheDenimContest as long as we're not being presumptuous about it but rather going with what it says on the patch..that said i've never posted on instagram

Reflecting on how I'll have to put my OA01XX's away for a while for this contest, although they're just starting to really bloom (year and 3 months of wear, not sure how many washes):

 

 

I'll be happy if my contest jeans end up in a similar state but I plan on beating the contest jeans up more as I've sort of babied these...

We're just under a month folks!

[garden gnomes in space]

that texture looks amazing

[givemefive]

how long were we planning on going? 18 months?

I feel like that's a good sweet spot for me where the jeans will have a lot of wear but not yet much destruction. but many of you seem to trash jeans in a year so I don't know the consensus.

[aho]

^I too prefer a year and a half...Not too long but just long enough!

[FeloniousMonk]

Well, 18 months will give even slower faders a chance to get pretty full evolution, while people who trash their jeans pretty quickly can just throttle back and rotate more as the contest nears its end. I'm on board with that. If we go any longer, attention is sure to wander.

[guthriegking]

I agree that 18 months is probably the best length for this.

[tigerstrom]

I agree!

Pocket bags!

[Broark]

Looks like some kind of natural denim to me possibly?

I was hoping we'd be able to use that fabric a few pages back, but I'm not complaining as these look nice!

[ironheartfan123]

w/e it is it looks nice and slubby

[FeloniousMonk]

Huh, I had to turn my pockets inside out to check if the material is different, and sure enough! Those neps in the photographed fabric seal it. Will be curious to see if they use the selvedge in all the pocketbags...

 

Looks like they're about halfway done!

[garden gnomes in space]

need these fucking things ASAP!

[aho]

Giddy...

Denim looks fantastic.

[guthriegking]

[mrsmiff]

[nycsurfer530]

Looking forward to seeing these in action. If it weren't for my signet full counts id be on this but c'est la vie. Should be a great contest!

[tigerstrom]

^^ that's great!

[Broark]

I'm getting antsy for these jeans y'all, very excited!

[givemefive]

ya I lost 15lbs for these jeans. Let's go!

[garden gnomes in space]

where is Hoggreaser at?  I just realized he should have been an honorary member in this contest due to the bad luck he had with Ooe.
