Indigo Invitational Y4

Is anyone going to enter? I registered with a pair of Studio D'Artisan SD-508. It's a full 6 months out, though. With the new Self Edge x Imperial collaboration coming out and a trip to Japan, I'm sure the pair I will be wearing will change multiple times.

Maaaaaybe. I don't think I have any raw, unworn pairs and I'm not sure what I'd enter with. I could roll a pair of FC 1103s or TCB 50s slim-T. My days of going for high contrast, rough denim fades are behind me, so it'd have to be a comfy pair lol.

Would a loose fit, mild fade type pair stand any chance of winning?

No idea, but I'd be doing it more as a measure of personal effort. I'm not really the competitive type

I don't feel you NEED to run super heavy/skinny denim to have a chance, but I get you, those South Easterners are nuts! Showing up with 33oz denim in 110 degrees with 100% humidity? That's a no from me. Something to note, the East is getting its own conference so it might give the rest of us a slight chance.

I'm aiming for a pair that will be comfortable year-round and go from there. Watching Imperial, Resolute, Momotaro, Warehouse, Eternal, and Denime. But looking for a higher rise with a natural taper or a slim straight in the 12-16 oz range in the end.

Just grabbed a pair of TCB 50's Slim T. Now comes the part where I see if I can hold off on wearing them before this starts lol

I’m more than likely entering this year, but I wanted to ask if anyone knew if it has to be a pair of denim jeans to enter. 
 

I found a pair of 12.5oz indigo shashiko trousers I have my eye on.

Already failed, I can't hold off on wearing these TCB's lmao

Their rules are here. But you could email or hit them up on IG and ask.

Yeah I checked those but it just says denim must be raw but doesn’t outline what’s allowed. Ill email them, thanks!

I put on my SD-508, and they never came off, so in the same boat. Mostly because I saw something this weekend, and I know what will be my contest pair now.

Knowing my own poor impulse control, I'll need to ensure whatever pair I enter arrives to me no earlier than a week before the deadline haha
