Stunning Puda..

[aho]

Almost at the finish line! Will have all the details for final entry, new thread, etc. shortly

[FeloniousMonk]

Just in time, too. Found a tear at the edge of my existing repairs this morning, so it looks like my pair is pretty much done until I can send them off for more darning.

[corporalclegg]

Always a bit too tight after a wash and dry.

 

 

[Bobbo]

Damn mate, so good.

[volvo240thebest]

^^ awesome job Sir! @corporalclegg

[corporalclegg]

Thanks a lot guys.  Have had to do a lot of home repairs on stitching but the denim has held up super well.  Except the back pockets which I hate but will wait to get repaired till after the contest is over

[aho]

Standard & Strange crew still in Japan, will have updates shortly!

[pudaspriest]

patch finally fell off

[Broark]

No way I'm going to be in the running for this competition but it has been fun. 
My pair is starting to lose some stitching right along the seat, surprisingly I haven't had more thread breaking or deterioration.
Going to try to borrow a friend's camera for the final photos.

[aho]

I should also mention, the shop was broken into twice in the last few weeks so no doubt S&S are dealing with a lot right now. Asking for your patience and understanding in the meantime before I set up the final submissions thread and give all the details!

UES indigo flannel

[JDelage]

I had ordered it and just got an email that they have to cancel the order because they don't have my size...  

[pudaspriest]

that sucks. I finally snagged one this fall after trying for two years, they sell out quick. 

[JDelage]

I'm slowly learning that many of those Jpz brands do fairly small runs. One needs to decide quickly.

Whhhaaattt. That sucks. Anything we can do to help? 

Will post up pics of the contest jeans later today since last day of Sept. and all.

Patch is amazingly still in tact and holding onto some of the ink that it's somewhat legible.

While we wait on the final word for how we should submit photos, here's a quick fit pic for how the jeans look at the end of the 18 months. They've really hit the perfect point of destruction and contrast for me.

Was kind of stupid to paint in them a few weeks ago, but I think it worked out ok. Coming around to liking the stains on the jeans; I just can't get them out, but they are fading with each wash. I think the pair ended up looking quite good, but we'll see what people think when the judging begins.

[aho]

Damn! And here I was thinking I had a chance...

[Bobbo]

Glad I didn't enter this comp and wasted my time, haha.

[pudaspriest]

Preview pic from before the last wash. Will put up the final pics when the new thread is up.

 

[aho]

Sorry everyone, still waiting to hear back but hopefully we can all be patient a bit more! (Lighting is off in the photo above, the jeans are a bit lighter but at least it's something lol)

Alright everyone! I got the blessing to start the final thread, but embarrassingly, I don't know if it's possible to create a thread with a poll, but deactivate the poll initially? What we want to do is give everyone a week to post photos, and an additional week for voting. Anyone want to help an oldie out and confirm how/if it's possible??

[tigerstrom]

My pair from a couple of weeks ago

 

Edit: Sorry aho I can't help you with the thread/poll

Great work everyone, all the jeans I've seen so far look fantastic. 

[aho]

Alright, I don't think there's a way to activate polls on a live thread, so I'll just create the final thread with the poll...

[aho]

Thread is up everyone! You have until October 25th to post, at which point the polls will be closed!
