falling out of love with your jeans :a single tear:

[Chicken]

beatle, good idea. i'm all for it.

and i don't care where i'll be in the order. but maybe we should raffle for it.

[Chicken]

one idea i'd suggest is to donate the finished pair to BIG or someone who could display the denim for people to see and hear about the story behind it.

[beatle]

Yeah - throw the dice...

And everytime we send them we put a postcard in the package - telling the next person what they've experienced so far...we collect those and the pics - and print a book..

Diary of a Jeans...and yes, Chicken , they should be donated ...to some Jeans sore or to a Hard Rock Cafe

So , got to think which Jeans could be good for this ....

[cheep]

has to be something that can be washed regularly... at least every time they change hands. should also be a regular fit... nothing extreme.

honestly, i think the pbj 006 would be great.

BETTER IDEA: we get a sponsor, maybe BiG, or SELFEDGE, or SDA

we wear the jeans for some time and then return the jeans to the sponsor for display

yeah? YEAH?!

i suggest some off-the-wall jeans-----like those RHT/LHT SDAs or the MISTER FREEDOM canes or somesuch pair that we admire, but don't dare to buy

[sybaritical]

Don't fallout of love, but I've hit a wall as the 6 pairs of jeans I'm worked on over a 4 year period all need washing. Thing is they're at different stages and making sure they all got the attention that I think they need would be time consuming so they sit and wait. Meanwhile, I'm wearing the faded Thai Fakes and the more I wear them the less I'm interested in starting fresh with something new cos I know I'll never get anything near as good a fade with my projects.

[mizanation]

i think whoever gets the denim should pay for it at the beginning. afterall, they get to display the fruits of our hard labor, no?

i agree on regular fit.

i also think it should be one that is known for beautiful wear.

these include:

pbj xx-006

warehouse 1000XX

let me ask gordon at BiG and see if he's interested in sponsoring us.

That does sound like a cool plan- I'd be in if you guys would have me, but I'm a 29.

On the original topic, I still have every pair of jeans I've worn since high school- dozens of pairs. My wife constantly tells me to get rid of the ones that I no longer wear, but theres no way I will. I tell her one day when I'm old I'll lay them out in chronological order and look back over the timeline of my life- my "jeanaology" so to speak.

She thinks I'm nuts.

[beatle]

sounds good , DDML....will you ask them ??

How about Fullcount - I don't think any of us have those yet ///

Beatle loves arcs...

already sent an email with a link to this thread.

now that would be an interesting thread-----a chronological arrangement of a denim collection as portrait of the wearer

[beatle]

I really love the idea...this would be some nice SuFu history...

Cheep - thanks for contacting BIG

nothing like a trusty old pair of jeans, imo. but there comes a time when you have to start anew. denim's lifespan ain't too long. but meanwhile, enjoy.

i don't think you're nuts. and there might be time when she might actually start thinking it's something really cool, too.

i also think it will be cool to get someone at 29w in the mix too. i think that's going to be part of the fun in this experiment -- a little bit of a variety. we're going to get various knee fades and stack fades too, because of different heights/leg lengths.

sounds good , DDML....will you as them ??

How about Fullcount - I don't think any of us have those yet ///

i have a raw pair of 1108 in 29w already, but i wouldn't mind wearing a pair i already have for this experiment at all.

[mizanation]

yeah, hopefully, gordon will know of some super secret denim that he could let us break in. i'm twitching with anticipation....

[almondcrush]

what a novel idea

29/30 here if y'all will have me

[mizanation]

can we stick with size 30? size 29 could give me problems with having kids later on...

[beatle]

I don't want to say to much - but DDML , Cheep , Chicken and I are a 30...

[andrew2]

yeah, that's a great idea! every owner gets the jeans for something like 3 months or so...

we can document where we take the jeans, what we do with them, etc....

you could call it sisterhood of the travelling pants

[Chicken]

yeah, the denim should probably be a 30w. but people on the 29-side could wear a belt and should work just fine. a little loose fit for a month never killed anybody.

[mizanation]

^^^ looser makes for better wear in my experience.

[cheep]

ok... lets make this real now... heres what i think should go down

-1 pair. size 30.

- one month per person, with a wash after for hygene sake

-after one year, we send the jeans, and the stories to (insert shop here) for display.

gordon emailed me back, and said it sounds interesting and something hed like to be involved with. he wants a couple days to see what he can come up with.

ill keep everyone updated when i hear anything else.

Funny movie...

[Chicken]

i like where this is going!

[mizanation]

yeah, beatle and i can create the website for this.

really excited for this idea.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

ddml

cheap

chicken

miz

beatle

sam113 (if he doesn't mind 30W)

almond crush (if he doesn't mind 30W)

slots for 5 more 30W peeps if we wanna do one superfuturian per month

[andrew2]

Funny movie...

HORRIBLE MOVIE

same basic concept though

[ordo]

Maybe we could do this for other sizes as well. I generally wear 32 but depending on the jeans will size down 1 or 2.

[mizanation]

what size does tweedles wear?

we should get singapore involved, i think.

[almondcrush]

30 is lovely

i like myself when im more substantial anyway

[denimdestroyedmylife]

what size is junglejane?
