World-wide denim project

Hey PG2G and Cotton - maybe it is time to make a new thread just for the 32s and their own bidness - what do you think?

[Charlie Delta]

Sounds like a plan, it's friday night for me now, so I'm not sure if I'll be on here much tonight, but I'd be willing to get in touch with Kiya about this if it isn't been done yet.

[ordo]

I believe PG2G is dealing with Kiya if I am not mistaken.

[theetruscan]

Right now, the shirt is pretty well received (except for by me) in the 34s. You might all want to post your size to see if it can be done.

yes, Shirt - 34s:

Think up a name

[wEstSidE]

To be honest, this whole thing to me is just getting out of my normal style, so I don't mind the shirt. If the shirt is a make or break thing then I think that we would be better off without it. I really like the line-up we have right now, and I think most everyone does too, and I don't want us to lose someone over a shirt. I think everyone loves the belt idea, though.

Think up a name

There is the rub. Suggestions anyone? Something simple like Flat Head 32s World Tour? The Flat (Head) Earth Project: 32? SE:FH:32 Denim Project? Anyone?

[justiz2]

Flat Head 32 World Parcel Tour 2007?

[ordo]

I purposely left 2007 off as it will be half 07 and half 08.

[justiz2]

Good point. Just realised that. Flat Head 32 World Parcel Tour 07/08? ;-)

[ProfMonnitoff]

How about just Flat Head World Tour '08

because the world cup is also only '06/'10 even though its not just in those years.

[will_i_am]

im pro belt.

anti shirt.

[captain5640]

I think "The Flat Head 3001 World Tour" sounds good.

As for the shirt and belt. If people are against it, that's fine. I think the belt and denim will be great by themselves. Either way it will be good.

[masuerte]

I'm in!! Wish I could get it before the weekend... I'm going on a cross-country trip from Syracuse NY to L.A. Cali and this sucker would've been on the whole time haha.

[adsurgo]

Great idea. However, it might be too bulky and heavy towards the last leg of its journey. Maybe we can just cut out the customs stamps etc and stick it onto a log book of sorts

or maybe we can just sent the jeans to the next person and the package to the final destination? maybe not. i think your idea sounds better,

[adsurgo]

i just got a good idea for the log book. maybe the cover could be the customs stamps cut out and pasted on and in the book we could write what we did and stuff in the jeans on certain days... i.e.

january 7 - wore them sledding and fell in mud. JERSEY

january 16 - went down south for a few days and went mountain biking JERSEY

january 21 - jeans arrive in HONG KONG

january 29 - hangover and vomit. jeans needed to be washed HONG KONG

[fallen angels]

cutting out the stamps would be cool. so would taking pictures of jeans being worn at regional landmarks and favorite places. then a scrapbook could be made as a log of the jeans' journey around the world? or are we getting ahead of ourselves here.. anyway, just an idea.

I think "The Flat Head 3001 World Tour" sounds good.

since the Flat Head project wouldnt have been possible without:

(1) kiya's generosity and his dedication to denim,

and (2) the superfuture community,

i think it is fitting for the title of this project to mention self edge and superfuture. "SExSF: The Flat Head 3001 World Tour"?

Also, if we need a mascot, I thought I'd post some pictures of '32 Ford with it's Flathead engine.

[soraanaam]

Here's this for an idea..

The 3001 will come with a tan leather belt from Sugarcane or Skulls and a 14 ounce Raw Denim shirt from Iron Heart if ALL wearers agree to wear all three items every day (reasonable exceptions accepted).

If not, we're still on board for the 3001 and S5003, both from Flat Head.

Just tell us where to send them.

im down, we'll take pics everyday to be prove it

[kiya]

If all (or most) of the items make it back to Self Edge once the entire thing is done i promise to throw a party and show off all the clothes and photos art gallery style.

[joey_formal]

^^ this is a little pricey (with film and a camera) but maybe get a cheap polariod that gets send around with the jeans that people contribute their pictures to, for said party? what are your thoughts kiya?

[kiya]

Either way works great.

Ideally it'd be really cool for ALL groups to have physical photos that they can mail with the jeans OR what would be safer is if they just mailed in the photos to the appropriate store that's donating the product.

My plan is digital photos for the first leg. But, again, if the 34" group does a shirt, I'll have to bow out, so that might work for everyone else. Of course I would send a "copy" in some form or another to whoever wanted them.

I also agree - I think that it would make for a more interesting exhibition if each person would put together a package of materials related to their time with the jeans - pictures, tickets or receipts for events that the jeans attended, art created in the jeans, writings, music that soundtracked the journey... the list is only limited by our imaginations.

[joey_formal]

it's as simple as this "if somethings worth doing, its worth doing right"

if we do this right its gonna be something very special for all involved especially the shops who are kind enough to donate if they do display parties similar to what kiya was saying.

[Cameland]

I think that the cutting out of the customs stamps and putting them into a log book is great, the whole journal idea is fantastic really, would be really cool for the last people in the tour. I think it would be better to call it some kind of "world tour" right? since thats basically what it is.

Oh and im volunteering to go first!

[PG2G]

So how do you guys think we should plan the order, to minimize shipping distance/cost? To get them to people as they'll be going on vacation? Any ideas?

[Cameland]

maybe just make a mock list of order and then those that see gaps where it can be improved can update the list?

Yeah, will do. I've only heard back from a number of people so I'll give it some more time.
