Warehouse Denim Contest [pics and discussion]

[fndmybetterhalf]

I think a lot of people should start dropping out of the contest... It's not like anybody really has any chances against my sandpaper legs and brick ass. I am looking to qualify for the denim olympics with this contest. Future hall of famer here.

Also, do you really think you will get $200, when most paid $145?

looking at the jeans

i think the hardware makes them even more unique

especially with the lil tufts of denim sticking out of them...i love it

[RobZ]

since i'm in charge of my office i just instilled a policy where you can where jeans at work. so, i'll be getting a lot of wear with these. feels good to be in charge:)

Maybe do some squats by the copier to get some honeycombs?

Holy shit... I shoulda bought like ten pairs and sold them to a bunch of beasting johnny-come-latelys for a sweet profit.

#142 here. got them last week, but it took me a few days to get around to dealing with them...

4 hour hot soak, then washed without detergent and dried in the dryer.

picking them up today from BIG where i got them hemmed to a 34L.

really like the denim weight/quality and dont mind the rusted hardware...

i got 31W, and could have gone down one more I now realize, but overall satisfied with them. looking forward to wearing them now...

on a side note, the natural indigo fullcounts @ BIG are fucking gorgeous.

[dunkin deeznuts]

if I were not an honest man..I could have 2 pairs of jeans........

they called me up today unsure if I had picked up my pair........

[TopVillain]

so im guessing most everyone went down 2 sizes? im a perfect 36 in everything and am debating wether to get a 33 or 34. also would you guys say they are "slim" fitting?I am looking for mine to fit similar to Rok's fit. thanks

Size: 31

Contestant: nr 31

Date: 31/10/07

Sized down one from my regular 32, soaked twice in the hottest water I could get from the tap both times roughly 6 hours and changed the water once.

Drip dry.

Have fit pics after the initial soak, already pretty damn happy with the fit, but decided to soak another time considering these might still stretch a fair bit.

This picture was taken after the 1st soak, so I expect them to be a bit slimmer now, they're currently drying.

Now to decide if I'm going to give up my current project, hmmmmm

disclaimer: i wear a 36 in sammies, 36 in levis, and 35 in apcs

i tried on a pair of hot washed, tumble dried size 34 BIGxWH's at BIG a few weeks ago. they were EXTREMELY tight. there was no shot at me getting the top button done. i'm not sure how much stretch these guys have, but keep that in mind...

[lazytiki]

My 29's are way to big and I don't think they will shrink down to the fit I am looking for. If anyone is interested in these PM for details.

I wear a 36 in PBJ XX-007s, but the waist is loose. The legs are nearly perfect, I can bicycle ALMOST without constriction, but they don't sit loosely anywhere. I wear a 34 in Iron Heart 1634s but the waist always stretches to 35.75".

I tried on the 660 in a 34 and a 36 at BiG. The 34 fit perfectly around my waist, but the pants were painted on through the thighs. The 36 fit comfortably if a little loosely, but there were a few inches of slack in the waist.

thestate and theetrustcan:how much do you guys weight? pm me if you want.

i agree with poly. fits great on you.

[Sammy You]

yes, they do look very nice

im soaking mine right now - i got a sz 27 eventhough i usually wear 30.

lets see how that goes...

[TokenIndianKid]

number 188 reporting for duty SAH!

anyways the first shots are pre-soak, then soak, then tub water, then post-soak fitzzzz

they were soaked in hot water for about 2.5-3.0 hours, and then i threw them in the dryer for about 45 minutes on high to speed up the shrinking process

it was weird, when i pulled them out of the dryer, they were super super soft...ALMOST flimsy with no real substance...they were barely damp from the soak and dry and i decided to hang dry it to completion overnight...VOILA! They were super stiff again...good stuff!

these jeenz are beautiful...from the patch, to the darker colored rivets with the tufts of denim coming out...i just love it.

Cool. Almost went this route as well, but didn't have the balls to. Post-measurements/impressions/fit pics would be awesome.

I know emaze sized down 3 as well I think, but kind of curious to see how they work out for others that took the super sufu leap down 3+ plus.

great fit ordo. so far that is the fit most similair to mine.

[sweetthreads]

Ok so I got pics.... But I didnt have a newspaper when I did the soak. So can you put me in as starting on 10-16-07, the earliest anyone could have started?

[munkyballz]

Good fits on this page. I think ordo's fit just overtook fmbh's place from last night. Although, I still marginally like chicken's fit slightly better, maybe. Eh...Let's call it a tie.

[indigo_junkie]

Didn't someone mentioned earlier about Gordon being a trading hub for those who want to trade their jeans? It might be a bit difficult for me to trade since I had them hemmed to 33" post soak (that and I need to size down 2 from 34 to 32). I've given mine one day of wear, and even though it's a nice fit now, I get the feeling that after a good few weeks of wear, it may stretch out to unwearable. I'm going to have to let them go if I can't trade. I'll be waiting to unload these on the 13th.

How can you tell how his fit? It's hard to tell where the background starts and the jeans end.
