Word of Mouth - The Crust & Fades Contest

[reallypeacedoff]

Congrats to all the winners and thank you to everyone who wore/commented/judged, was a good one!

Jared would have been my vote too!

Unfortunately, a few people were probably busy or forgot but would be cool to see those that didn't do a final submission at some point too.

Congrats to the winners, deserved!
And top marks to @MJF9 @beautiful_FrEaK and Simo for putting this together!
I'm taking notes and I clearly have a tough act to follow.

Thanks again to all of the organizers! I won’t repeat everything I said in the submission post, but this was a ton of fun, and very well executed. I’m glad to see that voting was ranked-choice; anything else would’ve been a disservice.

That said: Big congrats to @Jared_Lee! It’s well-deserved—even with bias, those are def. the jeans I would’ve voted for

@ATWM…do you want the right leg or the left?

Ha! I think I’m a left leg dude. But I may have to entertain a jacket…
 

Congrats to the winners! Echoing that this was a good time, in part because I found the jeans so great too. Can’t at all argue with the results - lots of great pairs and I’m lucky to even be in the mix at all. Thanks to everyone who organized and participated and to Simo for sharing his skills. 

[Jared_Lee]

Wow, I did not expect that. Funny @julian-wolf you would have voted for mine. I would have voted for yours. There's a nice reciprocity there that I enjoy.

Thank you @MJF9and @beautiful_FrEaK for all the work that goes into making one of these happen. Thank you Simone for making such a lovely pair of pants. And thank you to all the members that voted for the Collect Mills cloth. I wouldn't have joined the contest had the vote gone to the Kaihara.

Killer jeans all around and so cool to see 16 final submissions. I'd venture a guess that 62% making it to the final submission is unusually high and speaks the group we gathered through Sufu for the contest. I look forward to seeing what's next.

I didn’t follow the thread to not be biased to vote.

thanks for organizing and keeping Sufu alive. Got to have a hobby.

well deserved winners

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks everyone for participating! Congratulations to the worthy winner! I am sure you will enjoy your prizes

It was fun to organize this contest and to work with Simone, I truly  think he makes some of the best repro jeans right now.

Congrats @Jared_Lee , well deserved. Surprised at my own place to say the least. @julian-wolf’s would’ve been my top pick.

Thanks to all those who shared a lot from their days of wearing the jeans, to the organizers and to Simo for jeans that equally look and feel great to wear.

Well done everyone - especially the maker - that was the hard work … everyone else was just wearing clothes … albeit with the usual SuFu steeze

[eeejayaich]

Congrats to the winners! Those are some great looking fades! 

[UkeNo]

Congratulations - I would have picked the same results too! Well done gents. 
 

Thanks again to the organizers and judges. Special shout out to @Sorjeans for making this possible too. 

[bartlebyyphonics]

So sorry that I missed posting last pix (but tbh the jeans are no different from the last ones I posted, fashion victim to the 2026 heatwave victim etc.)

 

HUGE congrats to all: the top two always top throughout: well done @Jared_Lee and @julian-wolf! Thanks to judges and organisers too... !!! long live sufuuuuuuuu.....

Congrats to all the winners! Big thanks to the organizers and Simo. It was awesome to participate in this contest and become acquainted with an awesome denim operation that I’ll definitely be a repeat customer for!

 

 

[CSL]

Thanks to all who made it possible!
Nice to have a discount on the next pair. Or might get the chore coat...
@ashgiovanni I thought your fades were spectacular.
Jared Lee's are a denim lightning storm! 
It's been a lot of fun.

[Sorjeans]

Hi everyone.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, regardless of whether or not they managed to complete the competition.

It was really fucking awesome to see how every single pair evolved, and especially to think that i made something with my own hands and that it’s now somewhere out there in the world, sitting in the wardrobe of a true enthusiast.

This is a great community that keeps the true denim spirit still alive in this bloody mass produced world. 

As for the winners, please feel free to email me, in order to get your prize!

Thanks once again brothers

PEACE

Simo
