"Have to wonder why cost of living is so high, when the price of life is so cheep."

+rep if anyone gets that.

[LeicaLad]

Life was always cheap, although more than Time or Newsweek. Living, on the other hand, has always been overpriced.

I'll gladly accept that +rep.

also soaking hemmed portions

are you going for the denim wristbands + jeans combo? if so, awesome.

any canadians get theirs yet? showbiz00ditc? i didn't.

[xerikx]

I'd go for denim headbands so it'd look like you're in the Blue Man Group when you sweat.

he's doing that so he can repair his jeans with the cut off denim later on.

[Chicken]

^ if i ever get to wear if that hard.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

you have an entire year to wear through them! I know you'll have to repair the backpocket and the crotch will probably start to get thinner around 10 months. I suggest you unstitch the hem and iron out the denim flat so you get more material. If you haven't thought of that already, you probably have.

[dunkin deeznuts]

i dont expect to do very well compared to the majority of you, i only really wear jeans on weekends and some week nights...

post soak in hot for 4 hours, still a bit damp...excuse the hump the air pose....

the waist is still a bit big..may need another soak eventually....

[dave023]

Dunkin- What size do you wear in other brands?Thank you

[dunkin deeznuts]

generally a 36 x 32 in lvcs

have a pair of visvim fluxus which are 38 but i could have sized down in those as well...i'm just not a huge fan of nutthuggers and probably wear my jeans alot looser than the current trend on here

naw, i wasn't thinking too much about it, about getting most from the hemmed material. but that's a great suggestion. thanks.

Ok thanks, I normally wear a size 36 but took those contest jeans in a size 38...we'll see...

[tangerine]

great photos Chicken, and very poignant with the Joe Torre newspaper.

may you wear your chimps as long and hard as Steinbrenner wore Torre!

[dunkin deeznuts]

yeah, you might need to soak em extra long and hot if that works....good luck

[Contingency Plan]

Are you guys losing much starch or indigo on the soaks?

[dunkin deeznuts]

i didnt notice too much indigo bleeding during the soak....they are def not as stiff as before but still pretty good...

[ktouran6923]

this has already been asked before prob. so sorry, but if someone were to trade/or if i were to buy someones size 31 or size 32 could I assume their place in the contest?

lemme know thanks.

[tyson31]

whoever organized this thing needs to post the rules.

[fndmybetterhalf]

if anyone is interested in selling a pair of their sz 30 or 31...let me know. cant miss out on another sufu contest

[TokenIndianKid]

ahhhh just got my call from Noriko to come pick my jeans up

problem is, i live in california!!

so i guess their getting shipped soon, i cant wait!

[will_i_am]

got my tracking number over the weekend.

gotta figure out if i wanna wait till i go home to bathtub soak or rig something up at school.

[soda]

Was at BiG on Tuesday, and saw a stack of contest jeans that were being shipped out. I'm so jealous that I didn't join the contest, the jeans are beautiful (love the denim). The silhouette is very modern. And the details...awesome.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to part with these jeans. But if anyone has a 29 or 30 they're looking to sell, drop me a line.

[hopesgone]

anyone have an idea when the contest is starting? if they can pm me as it'll be hard to track the replies.

i ordered a 30, but might not fit lol. see how long i get to lose some weight of my tummy

[rome1]

^^It starts whenever you take the 1st picture of them soaking with the newspaper from that day/with the date on it. Then you write the same date on your jeans inner pocket bag and you have one year from that day. This is because everybody is not getting there jeans at the same time.

[jiomitori]

Here is a picture of the thank you card for Gordon. Inside it says, "Thinking thankful thoughts of you... For all the thoughtful things you do!"

Thanks to everyone who sent me a PM so far. If you are interested in signing the card, please send me a little message with your name or username. I will put it in the mailbox on Monday morning.

SENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wouldnt it be more fair if we waited till everyone got theres first?

[rnrswitch]

Sorry bro, but people have already started. This topic is covered in the other contest thread... we all start at different times and end at different times.

[darkamage]

I have no chance on the contest but it will be interesting to see how it looks in a year.

There is little indigo bleed left by the hot soak:

This is after 2 hours hot soak + machine dry:

Another hot soak/wash would probably shrink it a little bit more.
