samurai denim contest [pics]

[kenthenoob]

i spent like 20 minutes tryin to decide if I liked HJJ's super high contrast or 386's lovely dirty fade, i went with HJJ, but i strongly believe there should be 1st/2nd/3rd prizes because there are some beautiful jeans in this contest.

i second this!

i was also deciding between 386's and HJJ's, but i went for 386 because of the nice ass fade and really washed out look... and no homo please and thank you.

[adsurgo]

it sucks that everyone started voting first day. i cant get pics up til tonight.

(10chars or whatever it is people use to denote sarcasm here)

People don't use sarcasm here

(10)

[starian]

Fit pics for the win.

Really brings out the curves and and shades of the jeans.

HJJ whats your living style like man?

Awesome contrast.

[TokenIndianKid]

thats a good question

what is it that you do in your free time HJJ

and moreso, did you join the dw contest

[rnrswitch]

Nah, didn't you hear? The Warehouse contest jeans are the most overrated pair of jeans, along with the samurai USA edition.

[lilldavid]

The denim is nice but not better(and of course not worse) than that of other Japanese jeans in the price range.

The hype here is almost completely uncalled for.

The same goes for the Warehouse jeans, they are nice but the hype is a joke.

Overhyped, not overrated.

Doesnt mean the same thing in my book...

Like David already pointed out you're, meaningly, misinterpreting.

I've already said they are nice jeans and I like the texture of the denim more than that of the S0500XX, I have compared, but there is no way that the actual jeans match up to the hype here. They've been launched like one of the absolute best jeans from Japan and that's not right, they're entry-level Japanese jeans equivalent to sc1947, denime 66 etc.

They are plain good jeans, not the best jeans.

Feels a bit like Uniqlo all over again in the way that people are spewing unjustified superlatives over the jeans, both the warehouses and the Samurai USA model.

Thanks for brining up the topic again, I think you know how much people like to hear me say what I think.

My living style is that of someone who goes to school full time, works part time and rides the subway instead of a bike.

Not much hard wear.

I must agree with most people here - hjj', your pair look amazing! (helt enkelt skitsnygga ). I really like adsurgo's too!

[beatle]

honestly - cheeps - and adsurgos...he just now posted them..check it out...

[dave023]

Nice pair of sammies Adsurgo!

[malky]

wow..gre8 comeback adsurgo!

[wild style]

Adsurgo ftw.

[Charlie Delta]

If anything, this contest reminded us how rewarding it is to put all yout wear into one pair for a year...

Also, I can't decide...

[LaiShin]

I couldn't decide between Adsurgo and HJJ"s pair. Both are similarly awesome.

[rnrswitch]

I wish adsurgo would have posted earlier I would have voted for him.

I was just kidding. I tend to agree the denim is not phenomenol on the 660, but for the price and the competition it felt like a good buy for me. The jeans definitely don't match up to the hype. But hype is what you get when everybody beasts over a pair of jeans.

[theetruscan]

I'm waiting til near the end of the voting window in case anything else fantastic gets posted.

[beatle]

Actually - the rules were quite clear...deadline for posting pictures - November 15th...

Exception : Polishmike, who should be getting his jeans back today or tomorrow.

So, are you going to enforce the rules or not? They certainly weren't unfair in any way and they were announced like a month in advance.

[rnrswitch]

Uhoh, someones feeling the heat.

[beatle]

I've already stated in the poll that only one more pair should be posted - Polishmikes..

Plus - I see if Tweedles can lock the thread with the poll still being open..

This is a first time thing - so everybody - try to be patient...

[cheep]

i say we have an expert examine HJJs pair... they look sanded(8)

[beatle]

Does everybody agree that the rules were clear - and pictures had to be posted untill November 15th ?

Please - post a short yes or no - so that we can go on knowing that whoever is still trying to post is not in the final poll....even if they get votes - these won't matter...

Getting mine back today but good pictures will have to wait till Saturday morning. Thanks for letting me in late.

[kenthenoob]

it's a shame that votes started already... :|

[rnrswitch]

I would have assumed that people could still submit pictures, but they would know that they are at a disadvantage due to the fact that the poll had already opened and people had already voted. Adsurgo lost a vote by me, cuz I would have voted for him.

[beatle]

Not really..votes were supposed to start on the 15th - Tweedles just got it done a couple hours before midnight..

It's a shame people don't get their act together and post their pictures...2 weeks is plenty of time...

[beatle]
