Happy jeans: TCBxSufu S40s WW2 contest thread

[nycsurfer530]

I’m gonna throw mine in for one more wash and tumble dry to get out all the shrinkage and to start the pucker fest

[BrownMetallic]

@Tiro Btw, do u just need the waistband to stretch to raw measurement or u need more?

I got mine way early, so I’ve been tinkering at it due to sheer boredom.  I haven’t done an actual wash cuz the combs are a priority at this point, for me.  But the waistband, I’ve practically hand-wash twice already & right now it’s pliable ... I got it to raw measurements the last time I tried them on,  now I seems waist can go past raw.  Caveat, possibility is much better on bigger sizes cuz there’s more material to work with.

Hope they work out for U, mate!

If anyone has a pair with a post-wash or OW waist of 82 to 85 cm that they can't make work, let me know.

I’ll keep u posted. They’re still drying.... not sure if they’ll work out for me yet.

Not sure yet. I’ll know for sure in the next day or so. The fit was pretty spot on when raw except for the waist that was super tight. 
So I definitely need the waist to stretch back to raw or even beyond...

the rest will be a suprise after they’re dry... :-)

Across the board the fit pictures look great, in my opinion.  It looks like they work really well on the women taking part, I guess due to the high rise.  Glad to see considering all the sizing concerns  

If there’s a prize for “Best Fit” the wimmenz will be the strongest contenders cuz the combo of top block ratio + high rise favor them.  Hell, they could even pull a sized down.

Is the start date the local Japan time or our local time?

These are size 36.  My 50s were 34 and a bit tight, so I sized up and am happy.

Yes, it's 7:25am on the 1st here and I've already sandpapered some arse-whiskers and contrived an artful lightning fade on the coin pocket...

 

Really, though, can't remember who said it but I share the sentiment: I'm just happy to be alive, participating in something that's bigger than I am in a new pair of jeans. Mrs mondo has already teased me about my grand-dad rise...

[indigo_junkie]

The 'advantage' of being 17 hours ahead of the US. I haven't bought a print newspaper in years, you can imagine my surprise with how expensive and slim it is (Sydney Morning Herald is $3.40!!!). It really feels like the end of print media.

Super cool!!!!!!!

I bought a newspaper at a convenience store on the morning of 09/01.  I stopped subscribing to the newspaper a few years ago (I canceled the contract because I realized that I had spent 36,000 yen a year for 15 years and spent 540,000 yen on recycling used paper) lolThat's a big savings!

Japanese newspapers are plain.  The headline is that the new semester started, but the frightened children at covit19 marked the absence of children.

 

And unfortunate news for me!  I haven't worn this yet because the cat has blocked her new buddy!  Such a beginning.  笑

She has no sign of removing the barricade

I'm looking forward to the updates of beautiful people.

81 years ago today, Germany invaded Poland and thus started what we know today as the Second World War. It lasted 6 years and caused unimaginable suffering. Never forget, never again!

Coincidentally, this is also the day where we start this “WW2 jeans contest”, a contest to fade jeans but also to bring people together from all over the world in friendship.

To say it with the words of dear @Nayuta ‘s pocket bags “NO WAR, JUST PEACE”!

 

And here is my entry:

I’m on a two week road trip of Sweden so I had my mum pick up the jeans yesterday when they arrived. Got her to snap a pic of the pocket bags. Meeting up with a mates family on Friday and he’s bringing the jeans with him. The anticipation of fit is killing me.

Yes, truth be told - and this is not to minimize other people's sizing issues - these jeans feel more or less exactly like my other size 30 jeans. The waist is indeed a bit smaller but it also sits higher up where I measure less. Could've managed a 29, but I'm very happy with the way things are! 

Anyway, it's on! Busy morning, but I'll get back with my official kick-off picture later. I'll admit that I wore the jeans taking my puppy for a walk around the block late last night. I just couldn't wait...

#55 and a toy horse are ready!.
