I still have a choice between bybeatle and IH 21-s

seems like everyone is keen on watching these Bybeatle fade

 

[Niro]

ha, me included!

Think people have more interest in seeing fade progress of jeans rarely seen.

[itschrisb]

I’ve been wanting a new pair of jeans to rotate with my Left Fields so this is perfect! Do I need my pair by Nov. 1st if I register today?

 

Any possibility of getting in on a pair of the UHR 888s still?

I'm normally one to lurk in the wings and not post much

* However *

Over the summer, it came time to retire my favorite daily denims.  So last week I was pulling some Kuroki Mills 18.5 oz. denim off the shelf and revamping my patterns a bit.  I got the yardage three years ago for some of my regular bespoke clients, sold most of it but saved the last three yards for myself.  Also last week, I noticed this contest thread.  It will be a little out of the norm for me but I thought, if it's not too daft, it might be fun to enter the contest with them.

Here's the Denim:  

I love the perfectly regular tufts every four inches where the shuttles were replaced.  No doubt they're so close together because the yarns are HUGE.  The fabric gets its high weight not from being super densely woven but rather those ginormous yarns.  As a result it has a surprisingly supple hand.  I'm kinda hoping that will mean a little less darning the crotch back together over time.

 

 I took a picture of the Kuroki denim over some 14 oz. Kurabo Mills denim so you can see the difference in the yarn size.

 

I finished all the cutting this evening.  All ready to sew.

So, I’m low in funds and have troubles choosing which jeans to order. Can I pay the fee and order, say a pair from tcb directly (I’d like the masters chain stitch for something this prestigious) and get pics up once I get the jeans?

[itschrisb]

In honor of Cone Mills closing I decided to go with a pair of 13oz Cone Mills from Left Field.

[louisbosco]

i shall keep posting here rather than start a fresh thread for dwc stuff.

just started wearing this at the start of the month. they're really hairy.. getting into it.. will be taking a break soon for the tcb 20's world tour then jumping back into this again..
 

[noobedloser]

Here a my pair for the contest. This denim has a very interesting feel for sure

[Megatron1505]

Ready for the DWC 

[itschrisb]

Any type of contest shirt besides the IH one?

[Megatron1505]

Nothing planned this time dude, this contest is as simple as it comes. Wear your jeans for the chance to win money, all good.

I can appreciate that!

[Megatron1505]

Prize fund is up to $700 

[HAZARDkid]

Are you gunna post a final list with everyones pair prior to Nov1

[Megatron1505]

Nope, the only list I have is with every contestants "real" name on it (taken from their PayPal payments), so I don't think that's something I should share online.

[propellerbeanie]

Hey, is it okay to switch the pair we've chosen after the 1st of November? Currently tossing up between two pairs... I know that this will mean that I'm a bit behind in the comp, but that's okay.

[Megatron1505]

Not a problem.

[Spiraltoy]

Payment sent. Dono what I’ll buy yet though. SC47’s, TCB60’s or Porkys66’s. tbd tonight.

[erockisalive]

Here's a quick shot I took this morning of my contest TCB 60s. I'd say a good 2 - 3 weeks of wear. 1 initial hot soak followed by a machine wash to get the shrink out. 

At the tail of of the hairy phase right now. Excited to see how they evolve over the next couple years. 

[longshanks]

Debating between entering a pair of Tender 129's in regular denim or the woad dyed 129's. Tough decisions. 

[Aquabacs]

New over here, age old lurker. Pair most likely to entered is going Studio D’Artisan DM-002 unless something else arrives before the contest starts.

[mittens]

I'm in with a pair of N&F elephant 2's

[hudsonjames]

I love seeing the pics of all this fresh denim, ready for the contest! Ordered a pair of Sage's 5th Chieftain that I'll be fading.
