2009 Fullcount Contest thread

[Denim Phenom]

How about a contest for those of us that choose not to wear slim jeans but would still like to participate in some sort of "I can has sweet fadez too?" competition.

For anyone just reading this thread. We are deciding on doing two seperate contests, a Levi's and Lee. You can join either the Leepro or Levi contest. Once we single out the pairs we'll wear i'll start taking pm's for contestants.

We're also thinking about a December/January start date. This will give everyone who wants to be involved enough time to get funds for the jeans if necessary.

Thanks.

What jeans would you suggest?

[edmond]

[johnnyrebel]

[mr.invincible]

onis

imperials

sugar cane

eternal

STUDIO D'ARTISAN!

EVISUs

[cheep]

id love to get in on this... more so than a selfedge contest... that shits too pricey for me

[MataLeao]

Excellent! This demin contest sounds great, since the regular cut produces different fade characteristics than slim cuts.

This will be interesting to see.

[frideswide]

Mmm.. what about

- Real McCoy [ 613XH or 614 or Lee repro ]

- Denime [ 66 or XX ]

- FOB Factory [ F151, assuming we could get longer inseams }

There is already a Pherrows contest going on in another forum, so I won't add those

[thecrisisofimperialorder]

How about some Studio D'artisan denim?

They have a regular cut denim that sounds nice. Only like 13,440 Yen which is like 120$ ish dollars or so.

What's the price range? Assuming Cheep said that the Selfedge contest was too pricey, then under 200$?

Here's STudio D'artisan's Jean Fit Chart:

This sounds cool. There is at least a chance I will get into this. I need some good denim

[aapoli]

This sounds good, I might participate, depending on what pair of jeans will be picked.

[rnrswitch]

Man, if SDA is used, you gotta go with the 1XX denim. 101 would be nice. We could see if anybody could put a dent into those muthas.

[who8mahrice]

Maybe it's just my fat thighs, but I'd consider Oni Blues to be on the slimmer side...If Oni, I say we go with the Reds.

[SLAB]

how about

steam locomotive D61XX

Real Mccoys 614

or if price is really an issue

Hinoya Burgus

I'd buy another pair of eternals for a contest in a heartbeat. Now they actually come in a nice inseam too. :eek:

[who8mahrice]

I think Real McCoy would be a nice choice.

[arahat]

How about a Lee or Wrangler repro, there never was a contest on that was there?

The Warehouse BG062 cowboy or Lot.1008 11MWB jeans perhaps?

[Denim Phenom]

In thinking a pair of jeans with a 11-11.5 front rise, 14-15 back rise, 12-12.5" thigh and between an 8/8.5 inch leg opening. I can't fit into slim/straight jeans anymore because I've put on some weight and I cycle to work so my thighs are getting bigger. Plus, almost every pair of jeans that circulates through the board or is contested, is a slimmer fitting jean.

A contest like this will give the people who don't wear jeans like that a chance.

Real McCoys would be nice but they are expensive. I'm not particularly fond of a 66 cut and isn't that running with the Warehouse 660s? FOB151 are a slim/straight right?

Would everyone be into a jean like Oni's that have a lot of vertical fall or something that fades more like Sugar Cane, Levis, Warehouse?

Cheap jeans would be nice too, but not ones that will need a lot of repairs. If we set the price cap at $200 then I think we could narrow down our options. Maybe even getting a store to help us out with it. I wonder if Blue in Green would be interested in hosting another contest but with a limited amount of people. I'm thinking a 30 person cut off like the Samurai contest. Blue in Green also carries SDA and Sugar Cane's, both jeans that could be options for this contest.

Cheep, do you think Gordon would be interested in something like this or burnt out from the Warehouse contest currently happening?

It seems like there is some interest so I'll look around and come up with a few pairs to see what people think.

[edmond]

real mccoy s614 is around 19000 yen

eternal 811 is about the same price

[erbs]

I think the McCoy Lee 101B repro would be perfect. That pair is my favorite in the Lightening Indigo Master.

[morse9443]

Anyone have fit or fade pics of the ones mentioned by thecrisis?

http://www.dartisan.co.jp/jeans/dt_sd301.html

I have the 103's. Wondering how "relaxed" these fit in comparison. Either way, may be best to avoid the SDA's because they're so difficult to fade?

Let's go with some Cane's and try to one up the mighty Ryu.

[edmond]

I think the McCoy Lee 101B repro would be perfect. That pair is my favorite in the Lightening Indigo Master.

price point? 29000 yen

[Denim Phenom]

Ed, do you have any suggestions for jeans that might work? I know that you have quite the collection so i'd really be interested to hear you're input.

[edmond]

hmm.. you want cheap jeans? can we try unrespiro's?

17 oz streaky denim around 17,800 yen a pair plus proxy + shipping+ paypal
