Word of Mouth - Sufu Contest (The INITIAL & LAST Picture Thread)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Here it is, the "Official Contest Thread"

Thanks to @reallypeacedoff we have this map to see where these jeans will be worn.

 

Please post your RAW/DRY/RIGID picture of the jeans with a newspaper or another method to show the date in this thread.

Afterwards you are good to go. Soak, wash or wear them how you like.

 

18 months later we will use this thread to showcase the final results!

Keep the banter and journey of the jeans in the original thread.

There is no mandatory monthly update. We trust you guys to wear these jeans in good health. The judges will detect any cheating anyway

I'm not anymore as anal as I used to be with these sort of things.
Day one here. I'ts a beautiful windy day and I work from home so the jeans are already dry from a lukewarm soak and this is how they fit.
The waist stretched back easily, the rest of it shrunk to perfection. I'm only tempted to toss them in the machine for peace of mind later on and to take another couple cms off the inseam length.
I'm delighted with the jeans, love the fit! great denim, light but crunchy, I feel it'll fade great.

I can totally see me being loyal to these jeans for the most of the next 18 months, easily.

Pre and Post.

Picked up from the post office on the way into work this morning!

[julian-wolf]

They fit perfect as-is, but I don’t think I’ll mind them slimmed down some, either

Anyway, doing something I haven’t in a few years and just giving them a hot hot bath to start things off!

Day 1 

I missed good light so pics are noir....

[julian-wolf]

& After their soak…

They shrunk quite a bit! The waist is tight for now, but I have a feeling they’ll fit very well after a few days’ wear. Anyway, I needed an excuse to get my waist line back to where it was a year or two ago…

[dudewuttheheck]

Post soak fit. Very happy overall.

Beautifully made, comfortable jeans.  I'm looking more Farmer John than Eddie Van Halen here, but a wash will help, as would his Frankenstrat.
