INTEREST CHECK: Next Competition? - POLLS ARE FOR REAL CLOSED NOW!

[MJF9]

Thanks @Broark

Anyone have the back rise measurements or an example?

[PBTony]

@Broark thanks for all your work here!

Regarding the customisation of Rebuilt. How much is allowed to actually be customised? I think I remember BF had said that for western builds his pattern goes two sizes up for the hips, rise and thighs? Is that still the case? And assume the size chart posted is for the 'japanese build'? Or is this no longer the case?

I guess I'm thinking if I'm one of the lucky 20 and I went with the 40s how much would I actually want customised. Is it just the pattern or are there other options? Is there an additional fee for the personalisation? Ha sorry for all the questions. I'm sure a lot is still to be ironed out. 

[Broark]

@PBTony good eye there, the above chart is likely the JP domestic one. I have a pair of the 40s and my pair varies from the above chart.
I'm not sure we'll get as detailed as offering pattern customization for every pair but this is something that still needs to be ironed out.

My main question would be if we have consensus around 1922 vs 40s, or maybe we can let everyone decide individually.
Could end up with a similar situation to the WoM contest where we're all wearing the same fabric and then each person can decide if they want 22 or 40s detailing.

[tigerstrom]

I would love to try a 20s model if I get a spot. Would be something new for me

[julian-wolf]

I’m considering participating 2x if allowable…if I just did the LB contest I’d end up wearing Tender Co. on all my off days anyway, so might as well make it official

That said, I’d probably only be interested in the ‘40s model

[Josh'N'Roll]

I’m interested in the ‘40s model for the Rebuilt contest should I be lucky enough to secure a spot. 

[shredwin_206]

I’m more interested in the 20s model but need front and back rise measurement for the western build pattern. 
didn’t realize the chart was for the Japanese market patterns. Confusing

The images don't show up for me @Broark and everytime I try to click rebuilt.jp, I cant establish a connection to the site. Has always been like that for me, figured his site was always down hahaha

@reallypeacedoff thanks for letting me know, by chance could you let me know what browser you're using?
I've never had any issues with his website personally, so wondering if it's something specific on your end of maybe your ISP?

Safari and tried Chrome too. Will clear the cache and see if that resolves...

Edit: Nope, can't establish a connection to the server. Will check my ISP.

His website works for me on chrome on iPhone 

[ATWM]

Ha! The plot thickens. 

If the 15 is not a hard cap I can’t promise I won’t want in the Julian way of 2x pairs. Probably even more so  if a 20’s pair is in the mix. Hate to be all washy but it will come down to a number of factors for me like cost, timing, and details. This is what happens when you haven’t bought new jeans in a good long while I suppose. I can’t to some real analysis once hard options are on the table for both brands. Everything now is theoretical! 

[MJF9]

^ Tender is a self-serve for any made in UK jeans - so it's a matter of shopping around... and probably quite quick as it's the last from the UK

I'll consider both but to make a good crack of any contest, it needs critical mass of entrants... a Q in the light of the Rebuilt numbers uplift

In the interests of promoting excess traffic and interaction and driving up the total number of sufu posts, I'd love a pair of LB40 jeans, especially if they're cut for a western bod (note: my nickname in high school was 'cannonball ass').

Tender is a possibility too -- will check out what's available.

Can we confirm that? There was talk of a further restricting element. I’d be a little bummed (though no big deal in the end) to get something and then have it fall outside the boundaries of the comp, say if I settle on an 19oz crossweave pair or a non dyed pair (both less likely for me but still) especially as Tenders border on “investment” level MSRP. 

Trying to now plan my base level “uniforms” for 2 years out is a fun challenge. 

[nick682]

I would be interested in joining if there's a spot for the LB 40s.

[LazyS]

Same

[srudy]

As usual, I’m in, rebuilt, tender, both! I’ve got a pair of tender squirreled away that I’ve never worn just gotten hemmed. 
 

[okimoto]

Same, interested in Rebuilt, then Tender if no spots are left. Tender jeans are very pricey after the price increase

[ashgiovanni]

Thanks for setting this all up @Broark

 

I voted in the first poll; didn’t get to the second. I’m actually waiting on a pair of pants from Rix! 
 

 If any spots available for Rebuilt, I’m all in. If not, I’ll watch in support of these awesome contests! Should be interesting

[eeejayaich]

I’m in with either maker. Though if it is Tender I’d like to see a consistent denim and a choice of cuts. 

[Jared_Lee]

A bit relieved to be out, honestly. Now I'll just sit back and keep wearing these Roy's until colder weather comes. Then I may mix some oversized Boncoura or Freenote Modestos into the mix.

[julian-wolf]

If the Tender Co. option does end up going forward, I’d root for everyone sticking to the standard selvedged denim (overdyed or otherwise). The cross-weave options are just way too different to compare

[reubensangwich]

In theory I'd love a pair from Rebuilt, but like many of us I probably have plenty of 501 repros as it is. So I'm hoping for the Tender contest to be liberal regarding denim/cut, as I purchased a pair in the Unborn denim last month before the price increase. 

[UkeNo]

Can I check If there’s a date for picking who, and how many will be taking the Rebuilt/LB’s slots? 

Im eyeing the Tender Contest as well and want to be sure of how each is going to pan out before I buy either etc. 

would also like to know what they’re going to cost? 
 

and…. If the details/cut have been finalized - would love to get a ‘46 pair if possible? 
 

thanks for all the effort you’re making @Broark

@UkeNo I was waiting a little bit to get some additional information from Ono to do an official count. He hasn’t produced the updated ‘22 sample yet and was planning on having it ready closer towards the end of the year.
But let me get some ducks in a row and I’ll try to have and official thread up towards the end of the month / beginning of October and see what I can do. We have ~20 spots available with the opportunity to go up to 30 in a stretch situation. So I think most who want to participate should be able to.

[UkeNo]

That’s cool. Thanks for getting back to me. 

[shredwin_206]

I won’t be able to commit till last minute. Waiting for measurements for the 1922 rebuild and if we can even opt for that cut for the comp. 
thanks for all the work @Broark

[reallypeacedoff]

And we are still thinking 24 months @Broark?

PS Thanks for all your legwork on BOTH contests!

[Broark]

@reallypeacedoff thinking 24 for Tender and 18 for Rebuilt, unless we want to push Rebuilt to 24 as well!
