2009 Superfuture Conest - Dry Bones

[kiya]

That would be possible with Dry Bones actually, but there would be a minimum of 80 per cut.

So we can do a slim Red-D style jean, then a more traditional slimmed down '66 style jean.

I like that idea of the 3 different kinds of fits. would be interesting.

[Roflcopterpwnsyou]

A '66 cut from Dry Bones for this would be awesome.

[cjbreed]

sounds like a good compromise has evolved

[Supawiwi]

I like it, everybody would find its fit. Perfect.

[jyoni]

I like jpsmith and Paul T's ideas re. anti-fit, '47 fit, etc. Those are more what I would actually select as a purchase. Is forged iron hardware available?

Definitely interested.

[Scoobersti]

I would love a '66 cut Dry Bone, I'd still be interested even if its Red-D, but I would be in for sure if its a '66 cut.

[chantheman]

wow who would have known my small question would lead to this. great work beatle

i like the idea of 3 different cuts

[LC_Miey]

If Fh is chosen lets go with 5XXX denim.im all in! lets go for 5XXX

[monook]

dry bones. do it.

[iGIT]

Can someone explain the '66 cut for the denim noobs like me? Is the '66 cut more relaxed fitted compared to the tapered/skinny fit?

Dry Bones with a more relaxed fit, either way just a more relaxed fit.

I think doing three cuts would be an absolutely fantastic idea. One could be a low rise tapered slim (not super skinny) fit, another a mid/low rise straight leg, and then a roomy fit mid rise. Everybody would be pleased. I think both denim brands are great, and it would be nice to try the dry bones considering they aren't that popular.

Also, if custom denim ended up being used, I always thought it would be cool to have some 16 ounce slubby denim with alternating lighter indigo / darker indigo threads in the warp and then black weft that won't fade. Soooo, when the denim did fade, it would leave black patches underneath. I don't know why but i like that idea.

[Knugget]

How about...LHT?

[jpsmith98]

How about...LHT?

Definitely down with this.

Cinch + suspenders buttons?

i think that might come out looking kind of fucked up

it could be cool - like an oil stain type of look maybe - but it sounds kind of :eek:

I'm in for Dry Bones too. Especially since I am considering them for my next pair anyway

a '66 cut is essentially the slimmest cut of Levis 501s made. So while it slims down a decent amount, its not as slim compared to a tapered/ skinny fit of today.

i was thinking if it were possible to do three fits, we could actually do one pair that is more of a skinny fit for some of the ladies to get involved too. i think we have a small number of girls woh would be willing to do it along with a good number of guys who would also opt for the skinny fit also.

second fit could be a straight leg with a slight taper (ie 5000vx fit or a 0500xx) and the other could be a more relaxed 501 fit.

agreed with dry bones...even though something about sanforized denim is a slight turn off but it really wouldnt make a difference on the long run i guess.

[kiya]

Keep in mind.. we'd need to do between 80 and 100 of EACH fit, so the more fits, the more people we'd need to commit to this contest...

[Gang]

I like 66 type better, but flat head's 3001 is zip fly... can we have change it button fly?

[RobZ]

I believe there were at least 200 people in the BiG x Warehouse competition and even more bought the non-contest jeans afterwards. While it may have been because of the low price, I still think there will be enough demand to meet a 80 pair/fit with three fits contest.

[Roflcopterpwnsyou]

We could start a list of those definitely committed to doing the Dry Bones and for which fit. If no one else is willing I'll do it.

[Alex3000]

I'm still kind of undecided on either a Flat Head or Dry Bones.

I think they would sell, as well. With the three fits, I guess people could do preorders, and if there was less than a certain amount of preorders for a certain fit of the jean it could be halted and wouldn't go into production. Just an idea if you had been woried about losing money, kiya.

[iGIT]

I think if we have 3 different cuts of denim, we should have 3 different winners. One for each type of fit.

[Wesley Pipes]

My vote is for Dry Bones.

[kjell.wick]

should be eternal contest.

for reasons why look in evo or eternal thread.

[m1sterko]

i down for anyy!

collabssss are awesome possum

[Alex3000]

The more I think about it a Flat Head contest denim sounds interesting I'm yet to work with shrink to fit denim since I've always bought sanforized denim.
