samurai denim contest [pics]

[horriblyjollyjinx]

I shipped the jeans to HJJ on the 24th via air China post :\. In my experience China post can be very erratic, but I've yet to lose a package. The long shipping time could be due to the fact that there aren't many planes from China -> Sweden, versus shipping to the US and etc. I apologize for the long shipping time, but I can't do anything for the situation currently.

haha! got them today! or well, came home late so the post office is closed but I'll pick them up on saturday. guess I started bitching too early!

also, I never said or insinuated that you didn't send the jeans, and I didn't think you didnt send them either. And of course I don't blame you for the slow shipping! Sorry if you took any offense, was just complaining in general.

pics will come when I get time to soak and hem, maybe some time next week.

[Westbrook]

Woohoo! Does that make us 30 for 30?

[beatle]

Glad to hear everybody is really in....Enjoy ...

[Guest jeffvyain]

awesome, horribly. glad you got yourself a pair. good luck!

[Westbrook]

Fresh from the tailor...Forgive the unkempt undershirt, it's just so damn hot in chicago right now...

EDIT: It's amazing how crunchy this denim is. I can actually hear the fibers crinkling...(am I the first person to ever listen to his pants?)

[Thorns]

They look a little big on you... have you soaked 'em yet?

[Westbrook]

I got them from McFlip, and yes, I believe he soaked them. They may be a little big for my legs.

[khaltire]

What was the smallest size in these jeans for the contest? If there was a 26 I would have gotten it (or was there?)

[Thorns]

I'm currently wearing a 27. I should have gone for a 26. As a reference I normally wear a 28.

Glad to hear you finally got them . No offense taken, if I had to wait 3 weeks for jeans I would get antsy as well, I'll use EMS from now on. Thanks for putting up with the wait and I hope they fit you better than they fit me .

Just a little update on how mine are coming along....breaking in already - wearmarks on the backpocket (my S0500XX "diary") - overall they are fading a tad faster than my S5000VX...

[poly800rock]

wow, mine are starting as well.

[M.O.A]

wow those are def fading quickly

[Cameland]

that is absolutely crazy for 10 days wear.

[beatle]

Yeah - but I guess biking everyday to work and 3 days of rain are putting a lot of stress on them...And I `am really commited - get up - put on - go to bed, take off....HA - still no way I am going to sleep in my Jeans....

[khaltire]

Thorns - so you had the option of getting them in a 26 but you chose 27?

Also what is your true waist size.. I guess its too late for me to care anyways but Im curious

[coalessence]

fit is great beatle... they're coming along nicely

....p.s how far is that bike trek every day? 27 miles?

[masuerte]

Yes other people at riverside read superfuture...including me. I was at the library at the guy next to me was reading it; he was a lurker though. I've seen some other people rocking selvage; just saw some dude wearing ande walls today. I'll keep my eye out for you though...ahaha it would be my first superfuture supercreepy encounter. Feel free to stop me if you see some dude rocking sugarcane Edo Ai's. So much for being superAnonymous... I hate telling people that I go to UCR; I see their faces go from =) to =/ even though the school is clearly not as bad as other people make it out to be.

Anyway, the site looks good. I'll check back a few months down the line to see what everybody's got.

I'm a ucr alum!

[adsurgo]

mine are getting beaten to death. im already predicting that im going to have to restitch the back pockets.

[bagnus]

I'm a ucr alum!

me too

only shit i ever saw when i went there was people wearin sevens or diesel, however, i saw azn8oi the other day, samurais lookin sick as fuck

[azn8oi]

^ were you the guy outside of Grand Marc?

Or are you some other superstalker that I don't even know about :X

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :confused:

Anyways, I'm taking these to the chopping block today. -2" we go.

[bagnus]

^ were you the guy outside of Grand Marc?

yeah, that was me

i actually don't live there, i just visit my gf often

[cheapmuthafukr]

mine ae coming slowly, but i havent really done anything since ive been sick since the day i got them.

some crotch fading, and a couple blue spots coming in ont the hige... thats it.

when i can skate again, then i think these are gonna fade like mad. seems that they fade easily.

[Chicken]

i almost wish it was next year already, so that i can scroll through all the pages and see how thirty pairs of denim came along. the anticipation is killing me.

great start beatle. but are you going to stick anything in your watch pocket?

[ruprecht]

beatle, your belt is HEAVY. where's it from? do they do men's sizes?

[beatle]

Thanks, guys....Nope, nothing in my watchpocket - tried that - feels uncomfty and I prefer the small lines ....The belt is Samurai - but last time I've checked it was sold out....

[synthi]

Yeah Beatle, great fit, great belt. Lookin' good

[beefcake]

Yeah, apparently any country that takes people over profit and business is communist... and hence evil.

you rnrswitch, me fanboy.

and the sammies... looks really good everyone. looking forward to future results.

[beatle]

Quick update - emailed out all email addresses that I've recieved so far - everybody will be "assigned" the Jeans on the shelf with the actual serial number ...

I guess u'll get mail with website access info over the next week...

[poly800rock]
