Skrawny 13 Denim Project (Kicking Mule Workshop)

[sam113]

Whats the deal Thyallmighty?

We need updates and to get ready to send the jeans off to the next person.

Pics?

[Thorns]

I realize this is probably a crazy imposition... especially because there haven't been any updates and for all I know they are already on their way to the next person... BUT

would there be any way I could move myself up to November? I feel selfish asking, but I just realized as soon as I send away my sammies to get photographed (tomorrow) I don't have any other jeans that I can wear. I'm sure thats probably a ridiculous request as homme.homme's probably psyched himself up to get them, but I'd certainly appreciate the consideration.

If nothing else, I can promise a daily photograph for the entire month of Nov?

[joey_formal]

heres a question, are these jeans still around? we've seen no pics in over a month now, and haven't heard from the kid wearing them in over 3 weeks. i dont mean to be an asshole about it but some progess pics or anything would be nice

[Thorns]

^Agreed. And If I can't get the jeans, I think I may have found another solution to my problem... (see supermarket).

[homme.homme]

Cool with me duuuuuuuuuuude.

[ThyAllMighty]

yo, sorry guys, i will have loads of pics commin up, but i was in vegas for 4 days (daft punk) and now i'm in socal for halloween doin crazy stuff, i have lots of pics of me doin stuff in the pants, including rock climbing, cycling, dance clubs and final shots

it's just been a crazy month to really get my life together for some shit, i hope you guys understand, but trust me, these jeans are getting the crap beat out of them

[evilgeniusdan]

Good to know you're still alive

[Thorns]

^Excellent news indeed!

Also... ignore my previous request for bumping me up. I think I've remedied my jean-less situation.

[ryandenim]

great to see this back in action. can't wait to see pics

[homme.homme]

The jeans have crossed the equator and landed in my hands today. When did these have the last wash? they are smelling a little funky - trying to decide if i should get straight into them and wear them today or wash them first.

[theshonen8899]

Make sure to take a bunch of pictures.

[homme.homme]

yeah definately. i live 5 mins away from the harbour bridge and all that sydney landmark crap so it shouldn't be a problem getting some good pics.

[evilgeniusdan]

Sweeeet. Any semblance of fading yet?

[homme.homme]

there is a bunch of fading at the cuff but other then that the only noticable fading is at the crotch really. i will be wearing these babies everyday for my month so hopefully get something good happening. I do however sit behind a desk all day besides the occasional skate so i need to increase my activities.

[evilgeniusdan]

Ah yeaah. KMW is slooooow. But it's gonna be great in the long run.

[TPR950H]

I was wondering what this thread was about.. I guess all you guys are sharing one pair of jeans for a whole year? That's pretty cool. Are there any rules involved?

Keep up the good work guys, I wish i could be in on it.

[ChaseDizzy]

We ain't the only project runnin. We just a buncha biters. But yo, I say nay for a wash. fabreeze>wash

now wear them hardcore

[joey_formal]

homme.homme give 'em a wash if they got a bad stink, these bad boys have the natural indigo its set in like crazy washing them isn't gonna hurt them, it will also help out with the fit.

[ryandenim]

Its easy for me to say since Sam113 will be wearing them when they arrive in Context, but I'm with Chase, don't wash them. I want them to be good and stinky for old Sammy.

[sam113]

Whatever you do, homme, take and post lots of pictures.

[homme.homme]

Yo!

First time wearing today. I did give them a quick wash in a cold/gentle cycle using ph neutral delicate detergent with eucalyptus. They smell much better and the look hasnt changed at all.

In the office today and I will see if i can find a cam to make some pics - at least a quick waywt. I will do more detailed pics when I get home.

I gotta say though these jeans are awesome. I am loving the fit (skinnier then i though), denim and details. Will probably buy a pair after my month is up. Was going to buy a pair of diors before the year is up but I am totally impressed by these.

Anyway there is visible wear but nothing major in any particular place. I usually get comb and wallet fades pretty easy from squirming around in boring meetings alot and I'm going to try to skate in them a few times a week.

Pics to come very soon!

i was in vegas for 4 days (daft punk)

If I had these in December they would have seen Daft Punk again... that would have been some lucky denim.

Thats a helluva statement. I'm excited to see these in person!

[homme.homme]

^^ yeah the shorter inseam is a bit of a problem though. I'm wearing hi-tops today and they look fine but i think with something more slim-line there wont be enough stacking for my liking.

[evilgeniusdan]

KMW doesn't fuck around. I own(ed) APC, somet, rag and bone, eternal, lee gold, Ande Whall, 5ep, and the kicking mules were seriously the most impressive pair with the exception of 5ep.

[ThyAllMighty]

I gave them a soak a month ago cause they were smelly, I actually tried everything INSTEAD of washing them though I should have, hahahaha. It's funny cause me and Chase had to cuff them up cause we were too short for them, you must me tall though. Also, after rock climbing with them once, they fit so tight on me, I could barely stretch my legs up on them and as much as I wanted to get some rock climbing wear in them, when you're 13 ft up and your back parallel to the ground, you really want max performance.

Anyways, I'm sorry guys for not posting pics...this project was really over me, I thought I could do it, but I've had a lot of things going on in my life like studying for pharmacy school entrance exams and applying for grad schools. Alas here are lots of pics and some stories whether you guys want it or not.

So a month of studying for pharmacy entrance exams pretty much limited me from doing stuff in these pants which I apoligize for. I did go on huge cycling trips and hiking, but alas, I did not bring a camera with me. After I took the exam, 2 weeks were spent in Southern California for a vacation. 4 days of that were in Vegas in which almost 7 straight of those days were spent drunk. I mean like drink at night, wake up at 11 and then mix myself another drink kind of drunk.

1st night of vegas, out and about ready to hit up the local discotechs:

For some reason, day 3 of being drunk, I decided to take a wawyt pic so you guys could see the fit on me:

4th day of being drunk. This is embarassing to say but I was squatting in these pants cause I was so amazed by the construction. They were really tight on me and were busting at the seems when I squat, but never did. Yeah, I'm dumb.

[ryandenim]

ThyAllMighty,

They fit you perfect. Thanks for the pics.

[evilgeniusdan]

Those fit really well on you man. And it sounds like vegas was a good time, although you probably don't remember much of it

Thanks for the pics.

[ChaseDizzy]

Nice fit! M.I.A., pretty dope.

[ThyAllMighty]

More pics, the only day I took drinking off, but don't worry, after that it's 3 more days of drinking. Here I am at the rockclimbing wall with my former coworkers:

I have a really good memory when I'm drunk, and I usually remember everything, but I don't remember this:

Here are some pics of the pants before they got put in the box:

And my last time wearing them *sniff*:

All and all I had a great time with these pants and I will be buying some KMW Rockers as my next jeans. Once again, sorry for the lack of updates. PS oh yeah, I am 5"7 135 lbs.

[ChaseDizzy]

Nice, I am 5'7 115-18 lbs. I am a skrawny bitch.
