Warehouse Competition Poll

[tigerstrom]

Sucks to hear @volvo240thebest I wish the best for you and your family! 

[Broark]

Hope you and your family are doing well Volvo, definitely more pertinent things than new pants right now.

[oomslokop]

my best wishes for you and your family @volvo240thebest <3

[edmond]

lets do it

 

[Ar_thor]

Long time lurker here (and former member which was deleted due to inactivity I suppose). Signed up partly due to this competition.

How about the longer inseam option, will that be a possibility?

[Kit Carruthers]

46 with new denim would be fantastic. Personal preferences would be raw, regular length, non-aged patch. Any little details beyond that (pocket bags, mis-matched buttons) would be a bonus.

[JDelage]

What's the next step?

[edmond]

We finalize details thats next

onger inseam

not a problem at all

 

patch not burnt of course it will

Can I speak for everyone and say 1946? 

taking the liberty of quoting above from warehouse thread...

I would say that is what the vote decided;

we collectively decided '46 

we asked

... and what Ed has come back with is exactly that

---- availability of the '46 with new WWII denim and a special patch ... I think the only thing we need to discuss is raw or one-wash...

that is good news. guessing that will be on request of specific individuals? seeing question 9 in the poll above; majority seemed to be happy with standard inseam...

 

[SLAB]

agreed, we voted on this. No need to throw this back in the group?

Looking forward to this one!

[unders]

Props to Ed for sorting during an apocalypse. 

[edmond]

more time for this shit than my day job

[edmond]

ok boys let do this fast!  and i need a design for the patch

[Kit Carruthers]

Who did the TCB 20s contest patch design? That was fantastic...

The patch was designed by the wife of one of my best friends. I work with her very often for concert posters and CD design. She's great.

I gave her some basic infos (do a Levi's inspired patch, and 'every pair not guaranteed') and she did everything else including drawing the cats. She also used some 20s inspired fonts. The initial design had a nut cracker slim tapered Jean silhouette, then we changed to a loose fit and if you look into the image you'll see the Jean has even suspender buttons.

[bartlebyyphonics]

so people: we want our own patch; who do we know who can design one? 

who have people worked with? (as posted above; Volvo threw his heart, soul and contact book into the previous competition: bless you sir!) who owes who a favour or can be paid in sufu-rep points?

wondering if we begin this by:

collecting thoughts on best patches from denim history? [happy co-incidence that @Duke Mantee has started the label's thread...]

collecting thoughts on what defines a sufu comp. in these interesting times...

in particular; a thought: warehouse aficionados phps post up your favourite warehouse patches here to create a design data-base that can be reworked / developed?

design by committee is a nightmare; but as this has all started from voting and collective-choice; wondering how to get this aspect to fruition? we voted for customisation; we have 'special patch' privileges, what do we do with them? how to navigate this abyss of freedom...

[do we want something as simple as the standard '46 patch with 'superfuture competition 2020' added in...] 

not going to be a quick path this one; so very happy if some-one has a lightning bolt solution [that fits...]

edit: quoting myself from feb 10th to clarify I have no hidden agenda on patches... [for full transparency, I voted: '46, no customisation, no longer inseam, yes rite stuff; keeping it simples]

All up for people designing, but I’d be up for the Warehouse longhorn patch with no or a very simple customisation (such as the Sufu comp wording suggested above). 

[Maynard Friedman]

I think the TCB 50s contest patch was actually designed by a friend of one of the contestants - @fellini_esque

[beautiful_FrEaK]

There can be only one answer: Warehouse 1995-1996 patch

 

[Kit Carruthers]

My order of preference would be:

1. Fully custom patch
2. 95-96 
3. 04-08

Already have a couple variations of the undeniably lovely '96-'98 one.

[edmond]

hello which is a bigger cut a 1945 or a 1946????

[Broark]

'95-'96 patch has always been one of my all time favorites, if we could pull that off it would be pretty awesome.
Also I'm still all for flannel pocket bags if that's on the table.

i can ask and see if she's up to do another patch if you guys want. a minimal economic contribution must be taken in consideration though.

at the moment I just don't feel like spending money in pants. I have no perspective on my job, I have no idea when I will be able to start again working, therefore buying new jeans it's really not in the list.  thank goodness I have a massive pile of unfaded jeans to go through haha

 

[Maynard Friedman]

Could consider something like this, but in leather and change the word ‘Warren’ to something more relevant to the contest, perhaps even amend the words ‘Cattle Drive’ too?
 

I think Warehouse used a leather version for the second incarnation of the Warren.

[edmond]

U guys wanna do 45 instead?

[Radiohead89]

How do we acquire our competition pair?

[edmond]

U send im payment and ill Secure your pair need info well start in a week 

[Broark]

Ed I think we should stick with '46 since that's what the majority of people voted for.

[edmond]

Alright lets do that!
