I would also like to know this, lets get this show on the road!

We are quite possibly the least active group btw

[captain5640]

I didn't get the jeans yet. I have been out of town since Thursday night though. Nothing was left on my door and I don't see anything that my roomate brought inside so hopefully they'll be here tomorrow. I will post as soon a I get them.

[Cameland]

Did we ever agree if we were gonna wash these if needed or were gonna go unwashed for 13 months?

Oh and i made a quick logo on paint since my PS is currently screwed.

[PG2G]

I'd definitely say wash as needed. Not washing would be freaking disgusting

please wash. otherwise that would be absolutely horrid for the participants on the later half of the tour. i know i will be soaking them in a bronners bath for a good few hours before i wear them.

[justiz2]

I suggest wash as you see fit....

[Cameland]

haha i think you guys got the wrong idea, I personally actually wanted to wash them more frequently.

what happened to captain?

[theetruscan]

what happened to captain?

He posted last night. Maybe he's at work?

[captain5640]

I'm here. Jeans still didn't come today. If they're not here by tomorrow I'm going to get worried. I'll PM Kiya and see if he has a tracking number.

[captain5640]

Quick update - UPS didn't have my corret address so that's why it's been taking so long. I just got in touch with them and I'm going to pick the jeans up after work today. I'll post when I've recieved them.

[captain5640]

JUST PICKED UP THE JEANS!!!! I'll post some pics in a little bit.

[PG2G]

woohoo and we begin, hehe.

Hey Captain, are you going to do a soak?

[tintinsonson]

sorry for being stupid, what's different between this topic and the other one for flathead 3001?

This thread is for the group of people who are part of a year-long tour in which one pair of Flat Head 3001s, size 32, will be passed from person to person to be worn for one month at a time, culminating with the jeans returning to Kiya at Self Edge where they, along with pictures and other momentos, will be put on display. The thread is a means of communication for those involved or have an interest in the project.

[fallen angels]

excellent, it begins. had me worried there for a minute!

btw, what do you guys think about

http://flathead3001.blogspot.com/

if you guys like it we can use it to "blog" the journey of these jeans. the layout, colors, etc could be formatted of course. i'm still open to other ideas, just throwing this one out there.

[ordo]

I can help you with customizing the blog if you like and do up a banner graphic - though it might take me a couple of days to get to it.

[justiz2]

So we're out of the the blocks... :-)

The blog looks good angels. Something to start off with. We can always modify it when any new ideas, information, pics etc comes in.

Can't wait for the 1st set of pics captain

[Cameland]

so it begins, you must soak though they shrink so much. Also, blog looks good, cant believe you used parts of my logo thing haha.

[captain5640]

Here's the fisrt set of pics, let me know if you want to see anything else. I'm definitely not a photographer so give me some ideas if you want to see something.

Here's my observations so far: the denim is really stiff compared to anything I've worn before, the thighs are also VERY tight right now. I'm tempted to say too tight, but I'm going to wear these things hard and see what happens. Due to this, I'm not going to give them a soak. If I soaked them, I know that they would not fit my thighs. I'm going to take them for a long bike ride tonight after work if it stops raining to stretch them out.

[ordo]

Can you take some pictures of the fit? They look good.

[kiya]

Keep the card in one of the rear pockets.

I'm heading to work right now so I'll take some pics of the fit later. be prepared to see some super tight thighs...

[captain5640]

Keep the card in one of the rear pockets.

Sounds good.

[Charlie Delta]

Yay!!!

Eventhough I hardly posted here yet I secretly am very excited about this.

Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Oh and good idea about the blog.

Pics so far look nice. Gotta love the spelling errors on the patch!

Keep the card in one of the rear pockets.

Those backpockets are going to have so much stuff in them by the end of the project.

Grrrrreat!

[fallen angels]

hey captian, when you have time could you please take some measurements. it would be interesting to see how much these shrink and stretch by the end of the tour.
