and if we get enough we can get a custom patch

retail should be between 100 and 120

[Charlie Delta]

Definitely interested if you manage to get a 36 inseam like mentioned in the other thread.

Good work Cheep!

[wEstSidE]

I'll do this. voted. I need a 34 inseam but I think 36 is preferred by most.

[cheep]

then make sure you vote in the poll... im gonna use these numbers to convince them to do it.

we need to make sure the intrest is there.

[meader]

36 of course. Just cuff'm if it's too long. What shall the high man do if the jean is too short? Attach some blue?

[Chipper]

How much will the inseam shrink up?

[PG2G]

You got my vote. I cant turn them down cuz they are so inexpensive

[fre-co]

nice, would these be in a raw state or one wash as shown in the pics? If raw, we need measurements.

[cheep]

probably one wash.

nothing is final as of now... i need to make sure the intrest is here before any details can be finalised.

[fre-co]

That would be a bit of a shame...... not the end of the world though.

Good work Cheep!

[ordo]

and if we get enough we can get a custom patch and pocket stitching.

This is interesting - do you mean that they would produce a custom arcuate just for this contest? Something of which Levis might not approve?

[cheep]

why would you want raw? ive never understood why youd want to take chances with shrinkage.

of course, i never size down either.

[cheep]

hopefully something designed by the people in the contest.

[fre-co]

It's just nice to get jeans raw and go through the whole process of soaking and all that. Not the end of the world, it's just a nice thing in my opinion.

As for shrinking, you can wear them during the soak and drying, and it allows you to size down if you want.

[Charlie Delta]

I'm seriously surprised that there are more votes so far for a shorter inseam.

I'd say the longer the better since you can always chop a piece with longer inseams, but if you go for 34's the tall people are out of luck?

Ofcourse I have long legs...

[cheep]

well... talking to gordon, these would have to be made to order, so that would mean more options.

well know more once we know how many people will do it. nothing is set in stone yet.

[mizanation]

i always wanted to try the 1000XX denim, but i never got it because of the fit. the dubbleworks 660 is slim cut using the 1000XX. awesome.

Good point - can I switch my vote from 34 to 36 to accomodate our long legged friends?

[justinbaily21]

If they're going through Gordon, wouldn't that provide the opportunity to have them hemmed? In that case, why would anybody vote for a 34" inseam?

[poopslush]

If the retail will be between 100-120, I would be down for a pair.

Has anyone had any experience with this brand/jeans before?

I like the cut, but I think the thighs may be too small for me.

[wEstSidE]

Yeah, I'd like to as well. I didn't initially realize this was about getting that made, I thought it was just which one you'd like to get.

[mizanation]

when can we buy?????

[Guest jeffvyain]

those look just like my old denime lowrise '66 except maybe an inch more rise and a little more thigh room, which was much needed. measurements and denim look almost the same otherwise. And for 120???? Shit, I'd be all over that. Wouldn't even hurt my wallet enough to feel like a real denim purchase.

[cheep]

be paitent miz... this is still in the planning stages. i want to make sure we have enough people on board before i finalize anything.

[Chicken]

i think the way to look at this poll is not how many more people are fine with 34 inseams, but rather, how many people DO NEED 36 inseams.

if there are enough people who need 36 inseams, the rest of us shorter legged people could always get them hemmed or something. we'll deal with it.

i always wanted to try the 1000XX denim, but i never got it because of the fit. the dubbleworks 660 is slim cut using the 1000XX. awesome.

exactly my sentiment.

plus, the lure of limited original editions.

[Guest jeffvyain]

cheep....what can i say, except, FUCKING AWESOME. damn I really don't need to be getting excited about jeans for a while...I'm sure this'll take a bit of time

[will_i_am]

voted for the long ones. you can always make them shorter.

[ktothe]

36 douche bags. The mind baffles at why this even an issue. I realize 98% of this board is limited to 5'8" through genetics but you can just get them hemmed before they are even shipped to you.

Cheep: Why is this even an issue? What gives? I want these, right now!

the denim is very different jeffvyain. 1000XX denim is considered to have the most beautiful wear. usually, you cannot get this 1000XX denim at this price.

but you're right, it's 66 cut with a tighter ass region.

[shoreman1782]

Why are they so cheap, cheep? Great selvage denim, nice cut, good details (hidden rivets)... I no unnerstand.

Who in their right mind wouldn't be down for $120?
