samurai denim contest [pics]

[hoodsuburbia]

^^^ yup and he fucked up the evo thread too. i dont get why he had to say it now.... i guess his dont look as good as... but i dont know.

[st199ml]

I struggle to believe that anyone is that desperate to win a free pair of jeans that they would 'cheat'. And what is 'cheating' in a denim wearing competition anyway? When I'm bored at work I pinch the creases where my jeans fall. Is that cheating?

I never expected to win, its just a good laugh and the jeans were too fantastic to turn down. I'd say stick to the public vote but maybe limit it to just the contestants? I'm happy to vote for the ones I prefer, and they won't be my own.

[tweeds]

Dick, very nice

[beatle]

if you think i sanded my combs, i would think they would look 100 times better. a few pages back you'll see them out of the wash, they still look like shit, like every jean i have. honeycombs for me are like impossible

Sorry man - I only used you as an example since I envy you ur combs...

I thought you knew that, same way emaze knows about the shuvel...

Dick , awesome , those look beat...

[cheep]

fuck... i dont even want to be a part of this anymore... its gotten shitty. i never cared about winning in the first place, and now accusations are flying around beatle... whats next??

[beatle]

That´s exactly how I felt yesterday when it all started...shitty is the right term..

I mean - as said yesterday - I´m out - with the seed of suspicion planted - I don´t think this is going to be fun anymore...No matter what I will do - people will always look at my pics diffrentely and more judging...

I will continue wearing them - why not, I love them , and I´ve never been this dedicated to a project, I mean , fuck - it´s 90 outside and I´m wearing fucking 15 oz heavy weight Jeans in the garden...

[Tyler Durden]

arent you two like the two biggest players/favorites in the competition?!!? if both of you go, then there really isn't a competition....

no disrespect to anyone else posting up pics and still in it IN IT.

[beatle]

arent you two like the two biggest players/favorites in the competition?!!? if both of you go, then there really isn't a competition....

That´s not true...

People like different looks..

I love how polys turned out - Emazes are gorgeous - and cheep - yeah , he sucks they are awesome ...

Dick danger just posted some nice pics - and there´s got to be 20 some more people out there - and some of them never posted / maybe just used the deal and snatched a pair..

However , this thing is really open -

[Tyler Durden]

i know polys, emazes still posting up and fades are dope but when this first started, i thought around 30 people are so was in it? now i can really count them on my hand.

[Charlie Delta]

i'm not sure what it is, but sammy's like dick danger's make me want to puke, i'm stuck on such a fence when it comes to sammy's because of pics like his

What are you going on about? You mean you hate them?

I'd say they look pretty much how well worn jeans should look.

[fre-co]

Beatle, I was saying in the other thread before it was deleted that these accusations have tainted the whole competition and it's understandable that you feel you are being looked at differently, but seriously I think the number of people who suspect you is minimal and hopefully this will blow over.

Be assured though it is not you who has damaged the contest.

I think as regular posters of pictures, progress and updates you and cheep along with poly, dick, emaze and the other regulars are keeping the thread alive. If you pull out it doesn't look good for this contest or the warehouse one.

Kepp posting pics, we are all interested in yours and everyones progress.

[rnrswitch]

Y'all can't back down now. Say it ain't so Joe.

oooh, so I destroyed the contest because I wanted proper judges and not a popularity contest and used this as an argument to get more weight on my opinion.

get real. the wear on those jeans isnt natural and im not a bad guy for stating the state of the world. cheating destroys a lot of things and the logical thing would be to put the blame on the one who cheats, but I see you really dont want to go down that path.

there's lots more people who agree with my, but they still want to have superfriends so they write pms instead. we'll see if anyone else is brave enough to go against the hivemind

and yeah, it's funny how barely anyone, not even beatle say I'm wrong, only how mean I am. can you take the words in your mouth and say you didn't tinker with those jeans?

and again, I never did this the get her out of the competition. wouldn't it be a great idea to have samurai judge this, obviously they know more about jeans than I do, and then beatle can win if they think I'm wrong? Wouldn't that be the best way to settle things?

[so-so]

Its just great how your bringing out all this bitching now, when the contest is already a pretty far way in.

Superfuture's hive mind isn't anything new, but also, a lack of outside judges also isn't anything new.

It's seriously just a fun little contest, just have fun with it no need to bring in the drama. Not saying that they are or aren't "artifically enhanced" but I have no evidence, and it's not like jeans always fade the same way, so until either beatle says she did it, or it's somehow proved more or less to the point you can't deny it, I'm gonna think of them as I always did.

[Chicken]

imho, it's not beatle or cheep or anyone else who should leave the contest, but the one obviously unhappy participant who decided to start randomly shitting on other participants plus these threads. (who also started a thread basically shitting on slubby jeans including the samurais before.)

sometimes, all it takes is just one idiot to fuck everything up for everybody.

really. not cool.

especially the ones he's accusing are peole who have been very active in posting pics and even organizing the whole goddam thing.

[fre-co]

oooh, so I destroyed the contest because I wanted proper judges and not a popularity contest and used this as an argument to get more weight on my opinion.

Yes, with your unfounded accusations.

there's lots more people who agree with my, but they still want to have superfriends so they write pms instead. we'll see if anyone else is brave enough to go against the hivemind

we'll see if they do.

and yeah, it's funny how barely anyone, not even beatle say I'm wrong,

Plenty of people disagree with you in public

wouldn't it be a great idea to have samurai judge this, obviously they know more about jeans than I do, and then beatle can win if they think I'm wrong? Wouldn't that be the best way to settle things?

Didn't beatle say that samurai didn't want to judge this? Do you think if yoou keep banging on about it they will feel sorry for you and change their minds?

I think Chicken summed it up nicely

[cheep]

fuck you HJJ. you are wrong about your accusations, and youre an asshole too. ive seen the progression of beatles jeans, and how they look when she is wearing them and i dont see any sanding. her creases look different than yours(and you seem to think that unless they look like yours they are "unnatural") but she also has different anatomy than you, and the wear will be different. unless you have some proof that she cheated, you can go fuck yourself.

this isnt fun anymore. one jealous punk with a bad attitude, which has come up over and over in the time ive seen him post on these boards, has come in and fucked it all up.

[ChattyPuma]

Maybe for the next contest we should get a company rep from Warehouse to follow each one of us around 24hrs a day to make sure there is no "cheating". That sounds fair to me. Wait, but then what happens if we feed them and they begin to like us and tell us some secrets on how to wear our jeans better, shit...

Do not feed the the Warehouse reps.

Seriously though, we don't live in secured test environments so there is not point to throwing the "cheat" card around. People live their life. Who cares. If anybody does something dishonest it will be inside them later to deal with. Who the hell do any of you think you are to start calling people out without hard evidence?

Everybody stay in the comp and whatever kind of voting happens will deterime what people think. Just leave it at that and don't worry about what the thread pooers are stirring up. Beatle, do it...with a cherry on top...I want to see what yours look like in the end.

Cheating I don't give a shit about. Ruin my fun and I will shoot you.

[moykky]

Ho ho ho....

This is supposed to be a competition of who has the "best looking pair of jeans" after a period of time? This is more about aesthetics than most wear so "steroids and hormones" wouldn't really work. So let participants do what ever they like since it's impossible to control anyways or at least very difficult. Let's just trust the superfuturians eye for beauty. Though the idea of Samurai co. judging is far better.

I'm not saying people should cheat (if there is such thing in this case) but if it has or will happen it only means that participants are competing. It's not a competition if nobody wants to win. In the end everybody in the contest will have at least one pair of kickass jeans (plus 29 of them will understand that everybody in superfuture are abrasive pricks, not just Dick Danger )

Your jeans are as nice as Yojimbos hakama Dick D.!

[beefcake]

It's obvious to me that something's up with beatles jeans. No, I don't have proof, and no, I don't care that I don't have proof. I have knowledge and experience. You are free to think whatever you want, obviously. Whatever floats your boat. I'm not in the competition and as such I don't really care what happens or about who's doing what to their jeans, but I don't understand why people (HJJ) can't just say it out loud without it being like he's satan in a hitler costume doing your mom. What's the big deal?

Is it (sanding) even cheating? I don't know. I don't understand why people start crying and think about dropping out of the competition and such. How old are you?

[cheep]

can you explain why you think that there is something up with beatles jeans?

[Guest jeffvyain]

this has gone plenty too far. beatle, please don't quit. one person's accusations should not ruin this contest for you, and the outrage this has caused was not toward you, it was toward the accuser. this was bound to happen at some point. somebody was going to get their panties in a bunch, and it happened to be HJJ. we've seen him do it before. we've seen far too many pairs of great jeans on here to even consider him a viable contestant for the win, so it's not like we need to hear a whole lot more about this. i understand the sour taste in your mouth about it, as I have been in similar situations before (certainly not with jeans), and it makes you not want to be a part of it. but this is your contest, and you deserve to compete, so keep on it.

bottom line: let's see some great ending pictures from all contestants. there will be plenty of time for discussion then, and I think it'll be obvious, when they're all lined up, who will have had natural wear and who's look questionable. I don't find any of them questionable enough at this point to make any sort of accusations; I'll say that much.

[ruprecht]

for what it's worth, as another outside observer, i pretty much agree with beefcake.

i'm not gonna shit on beatle, cos i think she deserves credit for setting this thing up and i've always found her to be very sweet and helpful. i also couldn't care less whether she's sanded or not.

but i don't think people should jump on Jinx either... i respect his opinion a lot more than a lot of the posters i see here.

[>++fishb0neR]

for a bunch of people that tell others "they're just jeans" this entire thing has gotten way out of hand.

this isn't steroids in baseball, it's a fucking jeans contest.....on the fucking internet.

given the picture in question, i can see why someone could make the suggestion, but to actually do so...and continue the argument across multiple threads is just fucking petty..simple as.

i recently started commuting by train, which requires me to shift my bag around a lot..i.e. rest it in my lap when people squeeze into the seat.....i don't purposely rub it on my lap to get fades or whiskers, but i notice they have appeared faster since then..i've also lost significant amount of color along the knees/honeycombs from leaning against the side/window in the train.

These are just a few activities in my daily life that are clearly affecting the way my jeans will look, especially around certain areas- but it's just me wearing my jeans.

i wouldn't expect everyone else's to be the same because we all go about our daily lives differently

Beatle is clearly an active person, and more importantly, active whilst in her denim..

others have mentioned the "progression" and i too look at that as a reason to disprove the accusations. I am a n00b so my opinion might mean too much, but i have lurked for quite a while- and followed this contest from the get go

i just think anyone with hypotheses should STFU and wait until final judgment is upon us

[horriblyjollyjinx]

superfuture has a very high tolerance level, one-way.

this whole post above is a fallacy. i don't like overly slubby jeans, beatle posts a lot of pics etc., it has no bearing on the actual matter here, that the jeans are distressed by hand.

I'm being called an idiot, bitter, I have my panties in a bunch but it's all just an act to shift the view from the jeans to me as a person.

It's also illogical, if I did this to win and was jealous of someone I would have said it was cheap or emaze or maybe poly.

it's alright though, I understand your actions. I wont be calling you or anyone else an idiot.

Friendship is more important than jeans, and sometimes it's preferred to bend the truth a little.

[Deus]

About this whole thing

People have to be able to ask what people actually been up to.

i mean come on, y'all can see that some things are overdone.

I must say that a lot of the things HJJ is saying, is something we should all think of.

what i talk about is that some of the contestants "in fact 2 of them" are Superfutures own buttercakes. People always seem to prop them no matter what it´s about.

I do agree that some fades look extreme overdistressed and faded.

i could understand if you use the jeans in constructionwork. but come on`.

some of theese fades are really not natural.

when it comes to, who is going to win this whole thing.

The only fair thing in my eyes, is to let the samurai or any other "non-partial" but still highly respected persons in denim buissniss judge the jeans.

If its public voting. Cheep or Beatle would win without doubt, maybe not cause their jeans look the best, cause actually they dont.

More beacause of their whole thing on superfuture.

and that is not to judge fair..

Its all about the jeans, not how much ass you lick.

Dont take this personal, it's only my thoughts on this,.

[Chicken]

hjj,

i called you an idiot because you're acting like a big one. (if i am acting like an idiot, i'd welcome you to do the same. i have good friends who do this to me and that's one of the reasons why they are good friends.)

i think your enthusiasm and knowledge of denim is one of the best around here. but this has nothing to do with it. there were so many other ways you could have handled your frustrations and questions about the contest that you are already involved in. but you went right ahead and accused people all over the place at once. whether you're right or wrong, at this point, is almost inconsequential.

again, not cool.

[fre-co]

^sorry deus, but what a load of bollocks.

I don't understand why people keep demanding samurai do the judging when it's already been said they are not interested.

[Deus]

^sorry deus, but what a load of bollocks.

what is bollocks.

the part where I think that the voting should be non partial but with a lot of knowledge about denim and samurai jeans, or the part where i say that Beatle or cheep would win because of their overall appearence on the forum.????

[joey_formal]

fuck, quit bitching everyone. this goes no where its like a watching a bunch of retarded dogs chase their tails.

who really knows who's jeans are artificially enhanced who knows who will win who gives a fuck the contest sammies are all coming out a little different and have been looking good. when its time to vote or what ever happens we'll see who's are best. the best is the most arguing now is people not even involved.
