I took it off (the initial pair) and kept it separate with the intention of sewing it back on (to the second pair, which I ordered w/o patch) one day...

bartlebyyphonics 3,931 Posted October 13 ^ lol! and then ... @Paul T asked where the pair now goes: answer at this end: into the vault (a suitcase in the bottom of a cupboard...) ... lots of wear left, but now a nice step in the line of 'first jean' / 1890 / 1915 / 201 / 1920s... plus a comparison of 50s and 20s fades for jollies... (whatever visual similarity is lost when felt in hand: 50s very solid, 20s very supple...) 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

volvo240thebest 16,909 Posted October 14 I am wearing a pair of Re Lookus and want to wear a pair of Warehouse 1004xx but they're just as loose as the Tcb 20a if not more. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm breaking in a pair of TFH 3005s but aside from that everything else has been sold. Oh and a pair of Blue Blanket IJJs that actually fit better with my "reduced profile". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

volvo240thebest 16,909 Posted October 16 hello everyone I think it's time to close everything, Inoue is back at work and his team has time now to evaluate the jeans. therefore we have only the final submission by 1. Kamei Senpai 2. Volvo 3. Yabyoshi 4. Uncle Karl 5. Mariano Vittori 6. Jigsaw 7. Nayuta 8. Milehigh Evertonian 9. NycSurfer 10. PaulT 11. Bobbo 12. Srudy 13. FreeCharlesManson 14. Cucoo 15. bartlebyyphonics 16. Inimitable N! 17. AgingProject 18. Foxy I had another look at the final pages of this thread to make sure no one posted here but didn't post on the appropriate thread (what a mess!). Looks like only 18 people posted their final submissions. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had this idea for a while of going back to some of those prized high-contrast fade denims and giving them the regular wash-n-wear vintage fade approach and see what transpires. With this in mind, my Momo 0901s are going to get some earnest attention finally. In the same spirit, I might throw some Eternal 884s into the rotation. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

volvo240thebest 16,909 Posted October 20 hello everyone! Inoue asked me to proceed differently for the vote of the winners. He would like to pick the winners through a instagram vote. I have nothing against it but I thought, since it's different from what we agreed before, to ask you guys before giving him a confirmation. Hope this is fine for everyone. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbo 6,646 Posted October 20 Not against it, but how will you even do that? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flash 245,295 Posted October 22 I'm not involved in this contest so my opinion should be taken lightly .... but if it has to do with likes then I think it will just end up a popularity contest and the person with the biggest following will more than likely win 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 720,430 Posted October 22 Inoue should post the jeans at his account to make it fair for all. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flash 245,295 Posted October 22 (edited) But people can still herd there followers to there jeans Imo it can't be judged off Instagram likes ( but like I said , take this with a pinch of salt ) Edited October 22 by Flash 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
