[hysteric]

s613 has my vote

[bill]

voted for levis

[Denim Phenom]

Ed, the same shit you're saying now got you banned a few months ago. I'd watch it before you piss off the wrong person.

Aztec, Ed is only saying that because he's getting flamed in the Dry Bones contest thread.

Do you guys actually like the vertical fading in that 613 picture? They look like herringbone fabric to me.

[bye4now12]

I'm probably in on this, the more people talk about it the less possible I think it'll be for me to fit in the SuFu 09 contest, plus Dry Bones denim doesn't really interest me too much.

i feel the same way.. the customization is nice, but my iron heart 634s are as slim as i want to go.

im definitely interested.

lurking to see what denim you guys are looking into

Unless there's a problem with accomodating the taller guys because of it's inseam length, I'm pretty interested in the SC1945 Leepro.

Great price, stovepipe cut and as faithful a repro could spiritually be.

[Denim Phenom]

We are still trying to nail down which pair of jeans we want to use. There are a lot of variables involved that I knew would take a little while to figure out. Unlike the "official superfuture" contest, we don't have a denim store that can be our spokesman to a denim company that will facilitate custom patches, ugly arcuates, or even a limited fit. Unless a shop sponsors us we'll have to make do with a pair of current production denim and what could be a painstaking process of everyone involved getting a pair. I'd like to keep the contest small like the Samurai one almost two years ago. I'd also like to shoot for a January start time to give us the most time to get all the loose ends tied up.

If at all possible, keeping the denim to contestants only is what i'd like, especially if we happen to get a one time pair made for us, even if its just a change on the patch. I think it would be unfair for someone who really wants to take part in the contest lose and opportunity because another individual is hoarding jeans. That is not directed to anyone but everyone thinking about joining. I think its only fair.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions/suggestions.

[poopslush]

my vote is for the real mccoy s614

[Denim Phenom]

my vote is for the real mccoy s614

After looking at the measurements I think it was decided that those really weren't what we were going for. Too straight, not so regular. Of the Real McCoy's, I think the 613 series is what we'd wear. Those however are going to be around $300 for each contestant.

What does everyone think about Buzz Rickson's, either of these have a nice look to them. However they may be unavailable since these were produced last year.

These are also on page 38-39 of the Denim Indigo Master book.

Here is the info History Preservation provides for these, scroll down to the 1950s model Buzz Rickson.

Just had a look at the Take 5 collaboration jeans that Ed suggested earlier. All in all a pretty impressive pair of jeans so i wouldn't mind if it gets chosen.

Anyway thanks DenimPhenom for the thankless task of putting this together.

[Denim Phenom]

I'm going to start e-mailing stores and denim designers to see who might be interested in this contest. We have 5 1/2 months before the beginning of the year so we'll see what we can do.

[who8mahrice]

TBH, I was more interested in the DB contest...but with the estimated measurements out, their wayyyyyyy too slim for me. Now I'm way more interested in this contest :-p

I like PBJ XX-009 ;-)

[Denim Phenom]

You guys might like the blue on blue but I think together with the slubbiness it produces horrible looking denim. The whiskers, lap fading, and honeycombs look blurry to me. I would not wear those for a day, let alone for a whole year. Sorry guys.

You seen them in person? It's a nice look, quite different from both the pictures and your normal jeans. Remember that the awful faded ones are cheaply and poorly distressed by PBJ.

[mr.invincible]

hey denim phenom

apologize for the over excessiveness with the contest thing (im excited though since I have never participated in a jean contest before), but what about a Sugar Cane Competition?

Since most of you guys are into straight cuts, doesn't Sugar Cane satisfy this preference?

At the Sugar Cane forum, the admin was interested(not sure now or what kind of connection he has if any at all) in doing a competition. I would join a Sugar Cane competition over the dry bones after seeing the measurements

[Denim Phenom]

Mr. Invincible,

I think most of the guys on here would be into that except for the fact that the inseam might be too short for some. Otherwise that would be the easiest and most accessible option.

Etruscan,

I have not seen the xx-007/9 in person but from evo pictures I haven't been impressed by them.

[mr.invincible]

^ i see....can that easily be fixed if they were to sponsor this contest? custom 36" or maybe 38" inseams (wishful thinking)?

[concealed]

They don't want to make a 36" inseam, or else they already would, considering how well those sell...look at all the Self Edge collabs. Sugarcane makes vintage cuts and they arent going to sponsor a contest that goes against what they do as a company. Would a hospital sponsor a "How many cigarettes can you smoke in an hour contest"?

[fre-co]

^ I don't get the analogy, but anyhow...

The problem with 34" inseam is not unique to sugarcane, numerous of the Japanese denim brands only make a 34" inseam. If we are going to rule out all of those, then it is a relatively small selection. If we then rule out anything over $250 then it's really going to be limited.

Are burgus plus made in 36" length?

If we have to go for a 34" inseam then I think sugarcane or eternal might be good choices, they are fairly widely available and not too pricey if ordering from Japan.

What´s so un-vintage about needing a 36" inseam?

That´s the only thing that´s been holding me back me from buying a pair of Sugar Canes.

[edmond]

why the fucking hell do you need a 36 or longer inseam? fuck are you like 8 feet or something? damn kids

[morse9443]

??? 34" length will shrink down to maybe a 32" after soaking. That's too short for me and I'm only 6' tall.

[fre-co]

I know eddie, it's this stacking mentality. I think stacking on a regular cut looks stupid anyway. 34" is plenty for me and it means a whole world of denims is available.

morse: They all measure 34" after the soak
