[srudy 1,666]

Thank you all, very kind for all the condolences. My mom was a real good one-funny, sweet, interesting, full of life. She always loved my clothes, she was a person who loved cool clothes herself. So it’s only fitting to stop here with this pair. 
 

And so very sorry for the loss of your dad  @bartlebyyphonics- parent loss is so hard. 

 

[Geeman 3,786]

My thoughts are with you both 

[Toegun 3,033]

@bartlebyyphonics gosh sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I hope you and your family are doing well. 

[Jared_Lee 3,646]

@srudy, I am sorry for your loss. Though I've never had the privilege of meeting you in person, please feel the hug I'm sending as genuine, warm and kind. I hope the warmth of this forum's wishes shines some needed light on you.

Same to you, @bartlebyyphonics. Sending you digital hugs and sincere condolences.

Sorry for your losses @srudy & @bartlebyyphonics, condolences to the both of you.

Last month of the contest and we're winding it down. I'm on the road in Baja California riding motorcycles with my partner from Los Angeles to Los Cabos. A perfect way to close things out with these jeans. I hope everyone is doing well out there.

Has it really been almost 2 years? Time flies. Denim looks great!

[Jared_Lee 3,646]

@efujobu1 no, it's only a one year contest.

[efujobu1 7,702]

Looks great regardless

We're only 15 days away from the end of the competition! We want to thank all of those who have shared their fade progress so far.

For those who haven't posted yet, we highly encourage you to share at least one photo now and another when the competition ends. With such amazing prices, we really want to make sure everyone has a fair chance to win. Your participation counts even this late in the competition!

We'll post another update about the judging process once the competition ends. Thank you for participating!

1,300 miles through the dusty desert on Harleys and back home again. Both in need of a good cleaning. Gonna give the jeans another couple weeks of wear before the final wash to end the contest. Hoping a couple great sleepers find their way out of the ether as we close things out.

Those 4q69 boots are some of my favs. I had mine re soled with a heel and lug sole 

[Jared_Lee 3,646]

@shredwin_206 Who did you have do the work? I love the wedge sole on these 4Q's. They're my comfort boots both for riding and for walking. I am thinking about having Unsung House resole a pair of 10 year old Chippewa Originals with basically White's setup for the 350 Cruiser.

Leather sniffer on IG. He works for truman now but still does re soles

This is my final submission, my mom passed while I was wearing these and I don’t want to wear or wash them anymore for that reason. Thank you Signet, for having a good contest-the jeans we’re great, great denim, good fit!

We are very sorry for your loss Stewart. We hope you're doing well.. 

Your jeans look absolutely amazing , you've really done a superb job on these. 

 

 

[srudy 1,666]

Thank you so very much @Signet - my partner still has hers to post, they should be quite good, but different with no washes.

Hi Stewart, oooh not many have gone that route, we're interested to see how it developed without wash, but in any case no rush to post just as long as we see the final result at the end!

Thank you!  

[Signet 351]

We want to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported our small competition and constantly kept this thread alive. It has been an absolute pleasure to witness the impressive progress made by everyone. 

We'll keep you updated on the judging process and any other important developments. Best of luck to everyone on the last 10 days! The competition is looking very close!

[Jared_Lee 3,646]

Did my annual oil change and valve adjustments ahead of the final wash to close out the contest. Been working on product flats at work the past few weeks , so I'm going to try my hand at that for the final submission. Here's a few shots from the last week.

[chicote 5,067]

I used to lust after an interceptor with that exact 2 into 1 exhaust. I bet it sounds amazing! And hope the valves are easier to keep in place than they were on my old himalayan lol. Looking forward to your jeans update!

[Jared_Lee 3,646]

@chicote, they are pretty and that 2-into-1 is just right - mellow at steady throttle and barks when you whack it. The only other classic British style twin on the market that compares in looks is your W650. As for the valves, I haven't found them more than two thousandths of a mm out of spec yet and always on the loose end so I could probably leave off annual and just stick with every 6,000 miles at this point. Were the valves a problem on the Himalayan?

[chicote 5,067]

That’s great it’s been so trouble free maintenance wise; if I hadn’t found my w650 I’d be sold on an interceptor… actually test rode one in the exact same colour the week before i went out to LA to get it! i scraped the pegs a few too many times on that ride lol, it was just so fun and the center of gravity was so low, that interceptor really seems like a perfect no-worries bike. i’d love to see some more photos of yours some time!

the Himalayan valves were just annoying; they had a locknut on the top of the rocker that would inevitably tighten the valve a random amount as you cranked it down, and a lot of people online seemed to get frustrated with the guessing game involved to get it within spec. hopefully your twin was less trouble. regardless, these new Enfields are excellent machines and i dream of having another someday!

Presenting the Winners of the Warehouse + Signet Fading Contest

Thank you all for the wait! After much deliberation, we've decided on the following contenders as our winners. Our criteria was a general mixture of preference, experience, objective observation, and closeness to vintage jeans and Warehouse & Co.'s fading (as depicted in their Historic Wear Lightning Book), but the following choices were constants amongst all of our judges decisions. We've also decided to include two 3rd placers because these contenders were tied in our voting. Here are the winners!

 

1st Place: Lot 66 | Prize: 2 Warehouse Denim Jeans & 1 Denim Jacket

2nd Place: Lot 94 | Prize: 1 Warehouse Denim Jean & 1 Denim Jacket

3rd Place: Lot 31 & Lot 76 | Prize: 1 Warehouse Denim Jean each (tied for 3rd place)

Our winners may choose their prizes from TheSignetStore.com or Warehouse & Co.'s online store (subject to availability). We shall get in touch with each of you with the specifics.

We'd also like to show appreciation for all who participated, so we're offering a prize to everyone who submitted photos of their jeans for final judging. Each will receive one Plain Warehouse Tee of their choice. We'll be reaching out to you for more information.

Thank you to all who participated. We look forward to seeing you in the next competition!
