Warehouse Denim Contest [pics and discussion]

[JohnnyRed]

shit... i havent worn the jeans in at least 2 weeks.

Yeah, I've been slacking with the 660s. I love them, but I put on my s5000 a couple weeks back and just kind of forgot about these

[>++fishb0neR]

yo,

it's been a while since i've posted anything

but i thought i'd let you all know in that time i started a new job at an aboretum..(been away from the internet most of the time)

for the past 4 months these denims have held up to wind, rain, subzero conditions, TONS of dirt, some gas spills, weed-wacking, tree-climbing, and general outdoors insanity:D

they had one crotch incident (climbing things lol)

but they were sturdy enough that the tear occurred with the thread..i.e. no rips to the fabric itself..seams only, which was pretty cool.

so i just overlapped the denim and reinforced the stiching inside with stronger thread (and some hemp)..then i found some gold thread outside for aesthetics..looks like nothing happened at all.

this denim is beautiful..the've had a couple of soaks in the beginning, and a few more machine washes since (mainly after gas spills).

they get dirty but not sweaty or stinky, but they really hold up well to frequent activity, and look great too..

pics later..sun is shining today

(i've been rotating them with my pbj007s which look pretty ill right now..)

Time travels faster in "aboretums."

[rome1]

He may be talking about another pair of denim,a nd just have not realized it?

[eequalsmcbrill]

maybe he means the dubbleworks 660, not the contest pair?

[>++fishb0neR]

how the hell have you had these for 4 months

because i am very special.

oops.

yes, mirrorlockup is correct

it was a timewarp.

whenever the hell we got these (contest jeans...#116) then.

what i meant was i've been working there for 4 months

and wearing these since they arrived...started the rotation with the pbjs

sorry about that

[pikler]

I sewed a pocket lining in one of my back pockets to keep the indigo off my wallet.

[meta]

Innovation.

[batorizer]

very cool pikler, is that an lgc wallet?

[Wilkes]

that wallet fade is weak.

and you've got red on you,

[Guest doubletap]

idk, if you're a leather and denim head... wouldn't you want

a indigo stained wallet. i think you're missing the point of

workwear dude. you sholdn't baby that shit.

[rome1]

Nice pocket lining! my damn wallet wouldn't fit in the back pocket with that kind of lining, its stretched it out so much from the wallet being so thick.

[beatle]

Sweet job, pikler...really nice

[morge]

Hey guys, I have a pair of 30s that unfortunately are just too tight on me. Only about a weeks worth of wear and a 34" inseam. Anyone out there with a size 31 interested in a trade? PM me, thanks!

[beatle]

Looks like Beatle's pair is gonna travel some more....sorry to hear that they are too tight...

[machineo]

starting late cause i promised my dukes 6 months of wear. good to see im 100 pages late. theyre soaking right meow

Do i PM you anythihng cheep or is everything sorted around november next year?

[RobZ]

Has anyone had a tear along the seam? My outer seam near my knee came undone (about 2.5 inches of it). For how little I've worn these, I'm a little surprised that they need a repair already.

[spunkey]

Tiny crotch blow out after playing roller hockey today, gonna fix it tomorrow. Pretty disappointed, I've had $30 jeans that have withstood much more abuse last more than a year, had these under 2 months and im afraid some of he seams are gonna come apart

[RobZ]

^

which outer? the selvage or the double-stitched seam?

The selvage seam (the outside seam), right at the knee.

[genius215]

Crotch blow out as well only after 2 months. About the size of a half dollar. Really disappointed at this but sewed them up and took em out for a night out at Transit in Philly for New Years.

[RobZ]

I'm kind of wondering what kind of results Gordon got sizing down as much as he did, in terms of testing construction. I would think that if anyone should be having problems, it would be his pair, and yet I have a more relaxed fit than I was looking for and construction isn't close to my APCs (IMO).

It was nice of him to give those who got them chainstitched the extra material to do repairs though.

[selaviso]

with all the problems of these jeans im sorta glad i didnt enter the contest....but i still want to see the results haha

[batorizer]

[lilldavid]

I dont get it how all of you are having problems. Mine are holding out fine all I got is the hem chainstitch coming undone but that was expected. Always get that problem since Im a bit bow legged. Loving that denim...
