2009 Superfuture Conest - Dry Bones

[PandaDenim]

Have prizes for the contest winners been decided yet?

If I'm not mistaken the article in Cool Hunting posted by Kiya earlier says it's any pair of jeans from Self Edge.

About to cop but the rise is tripping me out... I'm stuck between a 34 and 36.

The 38" waist on the 36 is going to be a little loose starting out, relative to my other jeans (34 in Dior Homme and 36 in Nom de Guerre classic cuts, both of which have 36" waist). But the 9.8" rise on the DB 34 is making me think they'd have to sit a bit lower on my hips (as opposed to 11.5" rise in DH and 12" in NdG).

Around my hips I'm much closer to 39", so I'm led to believe I probably need a 36... could anybody validate/refute my logic here? I know the "fit" of these jeans has been covered ad infinitum but I'm still not sure.

You need a size 36, the 38 might be too large for you.

Get the 36 and if you've got some room do a warm soak.

Eagerly awaiting the influx of fit pictures from the locals...and hoping my size 29 holds out till Monday...

[xchen]

Placed my order shortly after they went on sale.

[iGIT]

Just got back from self edge. Got a size 28 and i'm a size 29 in skulls. I'll post some fit pictures up as soon as possible.

p.s kiya i hope i didn't fuck up to much on that interview.

[Vanquish Gold]

You'll get GPM unless you live in a very remote country...

Kiya have you shipped them out yet? I wish to add some money to convert to EMS or buy insurance on them...

[Tarmac]

[Vanquish Gold]

haha i was there during the interview and i think i may have stumbled into the background

Creepy Confucius-like statement of the day:

Every person's pair in this contest will be different, you have a choice, it's up to you what to do with yours.

[iGIT]

haha i was there during the interview and i think i may have stumbled into the background

were you wearing the imperials or the flatheads?

[16steps]

I didn't get to meet you then

Anyways here are the pictures from today. These are a size 28 and i'm 5'4 and weigh 135lbs.

[iGIT]

I have a theory that these will fade pretty quickly. I think this because when I was looking at my pair i saw some already faded spots / light blue near the crotch area where it was fold at. I could be wrong and probably am but who knows.

[selaviso]

i doubt they can fade in less than a day haha.

but i cant wait to see what comes out of this contest.

[derek]

Thanks to everyone for making the launch smooth today. We had a long ass day here at the store.

[iGIT]

For those who are to lazy to go tot he last page...

I'm glad I like that patch design because its huge!

I'm also glad I have a larger size because those back pockets look big.

[iGIT]

I think its the picture that makes the back pockets look big, they look fine in person.

[selaviso]

good fit man. the back pockets do look a tad big but fit is nice.

[kiya]

The patch is actually the standard 3" x 2.5" sized leather patch.

Edit: And the back pockets are some of the smallest we've got out anything we carry.

[dubstarr]

I ordered mine this morning. Can't wait to get them! They look amazing.

[NoWay77]

Anybody have a report from the store on sizing in the 33-34 tagged size?

I'm 33 in Nudie Avg. Joe, 34 in Iron Heart 634S, 36 in Flat Head BSP, 34 in SEXSC06.

You'd be a 34 in this jean.

Thick stitching pattern makes it look bigger than it is I 'spose, and iGit's got a tiny ass because those pockets be all over both cheeks.

I'm still buying a pair...

[16steps]

fit pics tomorrow

Did they seem to shrink much?

Kiya,

Do you recommend the regular 30 minute hot soak? Would it be ok just to soak them up to about mid thigh and leave the upper block out of the water?
