WH/BiG Preorders start now!!!

[the_state]

i just measured and i'm a little under a 36 true waist. i also measured my thigh and the post wash thigh measurment is a bit bigger. now i'm torn between a 33 and 34... jeeze.

size 34 post wash = 35.5 waist...

[mizanation]

i actually sized down from a 31 to a 30. i wear 31 in almost everything except pbj xx-005 which i wear a 32.

this is like the last hurrah for japanese repro denim. seems like all the japanese companies are switching to more modern stylings...

[rome1]

aren't you worried about the thigh area?

[JohnnyRed]

I have a true 32 waist, but I got a 30. I really hope the thighs aren't too tight, especially since I asked to get it hemmed!

here is an idea for judging...

whoever gets fades closest to a chosen pair of vintage big e levis wins. this will mean wearing just enough, washing at the right times, etc...

i'd like to see this. i doubt it what people will want though

[cheep]

well... heres the thing. its really what gordon wants, and i agree with him. it would make for a much more interesting contest.

and there will be no public vote.

[skiniks]

that actually sounds pretty cool

[TokenIndianKid]

that patch looks delicious

these jeans are going to be teh sex

but if that was the case, i wish i knew which denim we're aiming for beforehand. 'cause that could've changed the way i sized down on my jeans.

[cheep]

we are looking for a good one now. really, if you buy them so they fit, you should be alright. i think a pair of 66 levis would be ideal

[concealed]

well, i ordered a 32, and im normally a 33 or 34, so im thinking ill be straight, if not ill sell em

ha. i feel like everytime i go in there he's talking about old hardcore pictures of well faded levis.

hmm, i guess i have to see which pair is chosen.

but more and more, i wish we could've ordered multiple pairs. i wouldn't mind trying to match a cool vintage pair's fade with these 660s, but would've also loved to wear them any way i wanted to. and maybe even have a pair in a deadstock condition for keepsake.

[cheep]

well.... the 1000xx denim was developed to replicate the fading of old vintage levis, and does so more than any other... to make this contest about extreme contrast and fading would not be in the spirit of that, and since these are the last 5 pocket jeans warehouse will ever make(our run of 660), we should keep this contest in line with that.

[will_i_am]

is one year enough time to do that though?

yeah, i think the samurai has the contrast stuff covered.

[Charlie Delta]

While the idea of comparing these with a pair of well worn vintage big E's sounds very cool, I'm not sure if I'm such a big fan of thinking that you'll have to work towards a certain type of look, sounds too contrived. And also fairly "fake sensitive" since one could just look at what they should resemble after a year and then try to replicate that.

[indigo_junkie]

I sized up from 33 to 34. I'll be interested to see how this would affect how I would wear the actual jean. The pre-soak waist is 38in :eek: , but WH denim does tend to shrink in the waist a lot. Can't wait. Wasn't someone supposed to create a countdown timer or something?

[Charlie Delta]

yeah well,

we'll need a date to count down to don't we?

[mizanation]

aren't you worried about the thigh area?

i tried on a pair of size 30 hard-washed and it fit me fine. just a little tight in the waist. i won't be washing these too much, in fact, i won't be competing, so they won't shrink too much, i believe.

[lestat]

alot of guys here gonna get swamp nuts in the winter...

[rome1]

^^and grow "nutfungus" in the summer.

[munkyballz]

^^ Eh, nothing a little dab of Lotrimin couldn't cure.

[wild style]

I don't even remember what size I ordered, haha.

[showbiz00ditc]

i think basing them on an old pair of jeans is a dumb idea.

wearing jeans for your body type and everything else will cause your own fades and wear.

your jeans are customed to your body after months of wear and i dont think should even try to be based on an old model.

wheres the originality in that?

Maybe I don't understand what you mean by this.

I am strongly in favor of people just wearing their jeans and living their life; I have never understood why people say things like "those honeycombs are weaksauce" or "I don't carry anything in my front pockets cause I don't want to fuck up my whiskers". To me, trying to match some holy grail goes against the whole idea of having your jeans reflect how you live.

It doesn't really affect me; it takes me years to break a pair of jeans and I am not going to be winning any contest; I am more interested in the journey than the destination. But I either don't understand what you mean, or I don't agree with it.

P.S., I agree with no public vote; I think someone with a lot of experience in the industry should do the judging.

Can't rep, but right on. If the contest is judged on something like that, I just won't worry about it. I'm way more interested in seeing the differences between people's wear than having people trying to match up

[wild style]

Amen, my dude.

perfectly stated.This is the whole reason I got into this game in the first place.
