New Contest Suggestion [Poll]

[Paul T]

We know historically around 50% of folks who say they're up for it drop out, so I'd cost it at 25 and make it first come first served.

[Broark]

Yeah I'd count on that number being about half of what you expect.
You can count me in for some WWII detailed Warehouse jeans, flannel pocket bags and all...

[Paul T]

yup, works for me too.

[edmond]

Ok let me see what i can do 

[Broark]

Come through on this like you did for the FC jeans years ago. 

[edmond]

Will try my best!!!

 

also if this cant happen will a mccoy contest be ok?

[Broark]

Not sure about McCoy’s given the recent posts about the quality of their jeans. Could be interesting, I know the Lot 001XX’s (or whatever that lot number is) were kind of interesting.

Sounds good

[mctaran]

count me in for WH (1001 pref). 

[aho]

Wonder if WH has any special denim coming up for their anniversary that could be used?

[Thanks_M8]

Would be down for something wider and more repro-y than the current contest. WWII sounds great!

[edmond]

Good newS warehouse is a GO  but minimum is big hope we can get good contestants 

[edmond]

Need denim specs and details boys and girls  

[nycsurfer530]

Do we need a denim details poll? i.e. fabric, cut, buttons, pocket bags, era etc 

[edmond]

I think so brother

[mememessenger]

I'm down for a green contest or something repro. I've been wanting to do this for years but now I finally can actually dedicate to it

whoopwhoop! what kind of minimum? there is around 50 voting for this, but I wonder what percentage can be expected? 30?

what numbers needed from wh? and what is the timeline? (when do they need to know by for a 2021 production, for example)

not sure how to begin that process: but to repeat my 5cents yet one more time: wanting a wh 40s contest so either their '44, '46 or '47 cut with attendant details (ie flannel bags and laurel / donut buttons for '44 but not for the '47), but preferably in their new '46 denim to see how that evolves (as banner denim fairly well witnessed / evidenced) ...

perhaps if there is some spitballing of ideas here before a poll is set up that gathers up those proposals and sets up the vote

crossing fingers such a process does not produce a mad frankenstein / sda mashup / boaty mcboatface model... preferring a more purist pair repro era-specific approach myself but looking forward to the process...

There may be some upside from folk who voted for other another category but are still up for a WH competition. 
 

I agree with all of your proposals Bartles if that makes the polling any easier. 

@edmond Are WH up for a competition patch or am I being greedy?

Has the idea of @Iron Horse doing a competition shirt to go alongside the jeans still got any legs?

[Thanks_M8]

I'm in the same boat as @bartlebyyphonics. Would love a propper straight cut repro with all the fixings.

How many jeans were made for the WH 660 contest many moons ago? 200?
I'm quite positive we talk about a minimum order of 100 jeans if not more.

 

But for the FC contest it was similar and Signet just carried the remaining jeans.

[Broark]

I'm onboard with what Bartles listed: early WWII 40's repro, laurel/donut buttons, flannel pocket bags and a denim other than the mainline denims from WH.

[edmond]

Yea well carry the excess pairs dont worry well sell it more expensive if you dont sign up. 
 

patch can be customized but it will be more expensive . I suggest not i hope we can just choose from the options from

the wh  jeans

There are tons of ww2 repro from

wh i need to be specific for this boys

[Broark]

If it's decided that we're going with WH should we start a new dedicated thread?
What specific details are you looking for? Arc positioning, pocket shape, flannel pocket bag colors (I think miss-matched flannel pockets would be cool, peak WWII?), button and rivet backings...
Also I want to make sure the tab isn't stitched down!

[Maynard Friedman]

Slim straight with coloured weft, special patch and ‘Limited’ stamped on the pocket bags please.

Yeah. Get that Ed. 

[Broark]

I think you mean "relaxed-tapered". 

[JDelage]

I'm in if the cut is (somewhat) relaxed, otherwise no.
