Warehouse Denim Contest [pics and discussion]

[erbs]

any ideas as to how to sew a green tab on to here can someone point me in the direction of a good sewing website or somethin

You could go the Evisu route and paint a green tab on. I think it would look good with wear.

Wow, these things fade pretty fast. Just over a week into it and I already have a defined wallet fade and some fading on the back pockets.

you just wear your jeans too hard

[40ozprophet]

no, i am suprised at how fast they are fading also. specially in the lap.

[rnrswitch]

These do lose their indigo fast. I think I have already worn these just to about where I want them to be. Now I just have to wait a year to be crowned king. Here are my final pics of my winning jeans.

Yeah, I added the red tab to them. I really can't believe they faded so well so fast.

Its funny that I can't see the hanky. It must have faded away into nothingness after the second day of wear.

[rome1]

Nah, the hanky is kept away to be preserved so I can sell it to the contestants that didn't get one.

agreed. starting to get a wallet fade after a weekend of solid wear in green bay. i cant even get the start of a wallet fade on my okis or sorahikos after a couple months wear...

[mizanation]

just got mines today and boy do these fuckers shrink. gonna have to lose a couple pounds for these to be comfortable. i'm #182, btw. and i'm not gonna compete, so y'all can breathe a sigh of relief.

[GoodHustle]

^I thought there was going to be an 'unofficial salary man' competition'?

[fre-co]

Yeah Miz if they're tight then you can wear them under your suit to get hella cool fadezzzzz...?

[edmond]

[mr genki]

ahhhh

[bye4now12]

Well, here are some pics from yesterday, the jeans are still pretty damn after drying overnight so I'll take post-soak pics later today...

Pre-soak

into the water

After an hour in hot water

Into the dryer (yes, they're inside out)

And after 5 minutes in the dryer, they dyed my white dryer blue, so I pulled them out for hang dry.

I'm still not sure if I am participating or not. I just bought these from BiG a week ago, so I'm not sure if I'm still eligible because I didn't pre-order them or something. Plus on the inside of the pocket by the number it says "Contestant No". Still waiting on Cheep to PM me back, I sent him a PM when I ordered the jeans and never heard back, and then I sent another yesterday when I got the jeans, still no response....

[mizanation]

wow, i know it's been said before, but this denim is really good. so it the cut.

hey, here's a tip that i someone should have mentioned earlier. to preserve the patch, after soaking just put some oil on it. it will keep it from drying and falling apart. best to do it while it's still wet. you can use neatsfoot oil, mink oil, or something else. if you don't have anything, you can put some olive oil on it. i wouldn't put any crisco on it though.

hey, who's down for an unofficial salaryman contest?

[bye4now12]

Does that mean people who can't wear thier jeans during the day?

I'm in if you count a student, I have a dress code at school and can only wear denim nights and weekends.

[dunkin deeznuts]

hey, who's down for an unofficial salaryman contest?

"Contestant No" means Contestant number

[cheep]

[kapay]

Just to make it superofficial. Here's my soak pic with a newspaper. I also have pre-soak fit pics and package pics but I'm sure everyone's seen that a dozen times by now.

I still want to soak/dry it a second time so I don't have post-soak fit pics yet.
