Ideas for the next SuFu Denim Contest?!

[deadpan]

besides, if we prompt them to go against levis, there goes an excellent source for denim. and we'll only have ourselves to blame.

exactly. for a really (relatively) small company like samurai to start to try to piss off levi's is just suicide.

Edmond-are those the AI sams? If so agreed it would be awesome to get a ltd. ed. in natural indigo, but I wonder if they would fade well enough in the course of a year?

[beatle]

Allright , everybody..

I feel the need to make this a bit more realistic..

To know how many people would be up for Samurai 2nd edition - and to know if I can ask them to run a limited SUFU edition - please

SEND ME PM - TOPIC SAMURAI Volume II - MESSAGE IN

I'll count all pm's that I recvieved untill June 1st...

Please - no wonna bees and flakers

If I get 120 pm's - I'll ask Samurai to run a limited SUFU edition...

Thanks for the first pms...

Update on the Levi's issue in a couple of days...talking to Samurai about that ,too

Cheers deadpan. They are really very nice, streaky lovely looking denim, fancy buttons and a seriously thick leather patch.

[Blackplatano]

Well...

Yesterday i contacted some companies. It's early, but sugarcane is interested. I'll see if a collab is possible. If you guys have any request let me know.

[viv1984viv]

wow, blackplatano...... I guess the hawaiis from the satokibi range in a slimmer leg cut would be a dream.... or the ryukyus.....

Im less fussed about their "normal" fabrics, and i already own the sc40500 so id like a different cut and/or fabric.

New standard cut hawaiis would be cool but I know thats a big ask, and not really in line with Canes philosophy.

EDIT - corbu - budget for around the $250, depends on what model people decide on but sammies are that or more and sugarcanes are quite a bit cheaper and expensive. Hopefully whatever we get will be around that because hopefully a small discount will happen for a group buy!!!

Its damn ghud value! Less than a dollah a day for great jeans if your going to wear em all year....

[corbu]

Is there any guesstimate on target price? As a college student, this will probably determine if i participate

[beatle]

Allrighty - nice to hear about SC..

So far I have 21 pms - thanks everybody

[mizanation]

beatle, do we have a basic list of features that would be in this sufu special edition?

[Blackplatano]

What features would superfuture want to see in

SuFu X Sugarcane ?

I'm in communication with sugarcane about the possibilities.

Green selvage? Green tab? New cut? anything is possible.

It is early, but they have shown interest in sponsoring the contest.

Let me know before i speak to sugarcane on the phone.

[Westbrook]

I personally would love to see a SuFu x SC, seeing as how we've already done samurai. "SuFu" green would be cool for the details, seeing as how its not too in-your-face as a shade.

[cheep]

5ep?????????

A longer inseam?

[sneakeraddict]

I think sugar cane would be cool.

Green selvedge, natural indigo hawai denim., yes longer inseam too. Of course.

But I am still down with Beatle's samurai, as long as we get a good model.

[Dex_star]

66 cut

seems versatile enough

green selvage

lht!

[Blackplatano]

I just got off the phone with sugarcane.

I told them about the contest and what it could mean for business.

They are interested in this contest as a marketing opportunity, NOT as a profit opportunity. In other words, they are willing to make a limited edition run just for superfuture at a deep discount. They want to get as many people involved as possible, and they know that to do that they must keep the price down.

They are open to the possibility of doing modern cuts in the future, and this could be their first.

At least 100 people (# could rise) must be involved to make this limited run. These are the possible features discussed

SuFu x Sugarcane

-Hawaii denim (maybe), but with a very high tension weave. This will result in denim that has character and fades well. Similar concept to Texas cotton samurai's.

-The cut will be Modern. NOT a repro cut. Sugarcane wants to expand beyond the repro market and wants to create a modern jean. We would be the first to try this experiment. If the jeans are a success they might be released to the masses in the future. You could be a part of history haha.

-Some details include; green selvage, green tab and the back pocket will be like the one in the okinawa.

This will NOT be a production jean like the Contest samurais or the SF x 5EP. This would be brand new jeans designed for superfuture.

Of course, all of this is in the talks. It is not official yet.

But

If there is enough interest it can happen.

So state your opinions and interest.

[netsleh1]

nice work, where do I sign up (seriously though, follow up with them on that).

Is modern a ufazim for girl jeans.

[mizanation]

^^^ funny.....

[Blackplatano]

Is modern a ufazim for girl jeans.

Nope. It means it won't be a repro jean.

[corbu]

that sounds really promising, good job Blackplatano!

[Guest Arcarsenal]

Sounds really interesting, and I really like your initiative. Count me in as interested for this, I think the modern cut is a great idea and the selvage details sound excellent too. Keep us updated!

[headtowall]

Count me in for the Sugar Cane thing. Nothing against Samurai, but if this works it's way cool.

[viv1984viv]

This is sounding supergood! Hawaii denim would be cool. - Which one? The synth/natural mix or the natural one???

So they would want to do a modern cut???

I think new standard and 19cm would be the most popular modern cuts ( maybe im wrong, id like em though )..... similar back pockets to these would be cool too.

Im interested, shit I just wanna buy jeans again!

[Dex_star]

def interested

im sure were gonna get 100+ in on this

[headtowall]

It sounds really promising. Sugarcane's denim is fantastic, I've just never been pleased with the cuts when I try them on. It doesn't hurt that I love the Okinawa back bocket design. I really hope this comes to fruition.

NS or 19cm wouldnt be too flattering for the larger members, but then again, this is SuFu... everyone is suppose to be 6' and 110 lbs

maybe something closer to RRDS but minus the bootcut would be something to start with

[Darkadious]

i'm in if/when this becomes official.
