World-wide denim project

Gee they look really good! Whats the length on them? Are you going to cold soak? Exciting!

Thinking of wearing them dry for my month, nervous about losing any width in the hip/ass area. If they get too rough, I'll cold soak though. Will see.

They look narrower in the leg than I though tthey might, look like a pretty regular cut. Have we started a blog yet? We should get one going to document the progress.

[40ozprophet]

Yeah, same here. I thought they would look a little more bootcut.

[will_i_am]

sais..you down for a meet up?

[PG2G]

So you're not planning to soak/wash them initially?

[40ozprophet]

yeah, I think that would be nice. If you are worried about the waist shrinking jus stick a coat hanger in there or stretch them out when theyre finished. I dunno. do what you want. theyll need to be soaked at some point. I would do it now so the fades wont be out of place. although i guess that with 13 people wearing them we really dont need to worry about that.

Hmmm, I'm a 35, not a 34, so the fit is different than it looks. It's looser everywhere except right around the hips than a size 34" sugar cane okinawa. They're fairly long, I'm a 33"/33.5" inseam. If you've tried on a 1947 cut jean in a 34, these will be looser, fair bit actually. That is in reference to a one-wash Sugar Cane, not a raw. One more thing, the rise on these is very high. Worn where they belong, the top butting is 1.5-2" below my navel.

I'll soak them if people think I should. The worst possible thing that could happen would be that I have to send them on. Not exciting, but not the end of the world.

Those look terrific! I just know that I'm going to end up getting a pair after my turn.

[I_miss_lily]

Wear them dry if thats how they fit. Let the next person do the soak.

[40ozprophet]

yeah, if they really arent going to fit just wear them like that.

[will_i_am]

oh wow.

it started!

[Tyro1]

yeah wear them however the hell you want, for the next month they are YOUR jeans! No team decisions on that! hehe

[theetruscan]

Ack, stitching is coming out on the right hip pocket in a big way!

[justinbaily21]

Would somebody mind making a blog, as well? Let's get this thing properly organized.

[will_i_am]

hahaha, I like how after all the initial bickering, you named the site denim contest!

[40ozprophet]

Lol. True. unfortunately, I do think we should change the name.

*also, should we use blogspot to be consistent with the 32 group?

[will_i_am]

yea i fucked up. haha i didn't even think about it.

i'm trying to change it now

[justinbaily21]

Or maybe we can do it in conjunction with the 32s and the 28s? It could be like the Samurai contest's blog site.

[will_i_am]

before i press ok on blogspot...

denimworldtour.blogspot.com

good with everyone?

edit: i was thinking a link to the 32's blog on the site?

[40ozprophet]

Is flatheadworldtour available? I like both of them, but I think it would be nice to include flathead in the title.

[will_i_am]

cool.

http://flatheadworldtour.blogspot.com/

and we're live.

[Tyro1]

yeah blog spot is easier for me to leave comments on also. Sweet. How do we go about editing and posting on the page?

[Tyro1]

also we should nick that sponsor banner from the other's site!

[justinbaily21]

And maybe something in our sigs like this globe (as an example)
