2009 Fullcount Contest thread

[photo]

This sounds like a very interesting contest. The only thing I am concerned about would be finding the available numbers need for whatever jeans selected as well as accessability for getting the jeans shipped. Maybe Ed could discuss something with Take5, he might be able to sway something maybe?? I would be in for this as I don't wanna miss out on another one of these. I vote for Sugar Cane really interested in seeing the possiblilties.

its hard to keep the prcies under 200 cause of shipping cost+ paypal fee+ proxy fee+ watever else fee

[edmond]

just let me know what you guys have decided ill try to do what i have been doing for the past 6 months but failed lol!

[Denim Phenom]

A '47 cut comes the closest to what I mean by regular and is what I had in mind when I started the thread. The '47 cut is copied by a lot of companies but has never been contested or passed around by board members.

Sugar Cane's '47 cut is very comfortable but the length only comes in a 34. I think that might be a problem for any of the tall guys that may want to participate. We could see what other companies have a '47 cut available (not modern '47 mind you) in a longer inseam that might work for taller guys. Sugar Cane '47s are $217 through BiG who may be able to special order all the sizes we need. Vari has them for $125 before shipping, take Paypal, and will discount the price on the shipping label so you don't have to pay customs fees. I'm not sure if they can special order but I could e-mail them and ask.

Should I add a poll to see what cut people want and go from there?

[edmond]

yeah those are good 47 cut is pretty nice very flexible if you wanna size down its ok too

dont do a poll yet DP lets wait for more suggestions and the brand

I have a brand new pair and pair that i've worn since January 2007. I wouldn't be opposed to another pair but I'll look for a '47 cut from another brand.

[weirdnjfan1]

I could be interested in this, if the price is right.

If you have a good grasp on this, bring some suggestions forward. You do have quite the exposure to many a brand. Fair enough that the SC 47's might be too short for everyone, I forgot to keep that in consideration, I just want them I guess.

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

If you do real mccoy do the Lee repros. Fucking incredible fades.

[edmond]

relaxed fit sammies? id be very down for this contest

this is going to be impossible with all the slim haoppy fitting jeans on hype here..i wish for a regular cut sammy

[johnnyrebel]

id vote for the real mccoys

[aapoli]

How about Bootleggers(601xx)? Anyone has information on this brand? I was browsing Lighting mag and was really impressed by the fit pics. If Im not mistaken, Gordon was wearing those aswell on his "denim master" pic ( cant really read kanji, so I might be wrong). Other nice brands could be Sugar Cane, Real Mccoys, Warehouse, F.O.B etc..

[edmond]

you cant get those bootleggers anymore

real mccoys im down with it! 614?

[Denim Phenom]

Ed, do you think we could work something out with Take 5 and the S614? Maybe a discount or a sponsorship of some type? I just looked at the measurements and they look like a good candidate. Let me know what you think.

[Tiro]

anyone considered Ues 400R yet?

[Denim Phenom]

anyone considered Ues 400R yet?

We are trying to keep the contest jeans below $200 and these are above that.

[bankershill]

I'm in as long as it's not too low rise

[Denim Phenom]

The jean we'll end up choosing won't be low rise so you won't have to worry about that.

The S614's look pretty good. Unsanforized? Anyone have info on them in inches?

[Denim Phenom]

Size Waist Outseam Thigh Inseam Knee Hem

29 80 100 30 88.5 26.5 20.5

30 84 103 31 90 27 21.5

31 86 106 31 91 28.5 21.5

32 88 109 31 91 29 22

33 90 112 31.5 91 29 22

34 92 105 32 91 29 22

36 97 118 33 90 31.5 23

That's everything in centimeters because I don't have the time right to translate it all into inches.

The descriptions keep calling this jean tight and/or slender. Doesn't really seem like what we're going for.

when I got my S613XH, I was told by the guy at the store that the S614 is slightly slimmer than the S613. The S613 cut might be a little more of what you guys are looking for.

[Denim Phenom]

Do you have any '47 models? If so, how do the 613's compare?

[jyoni]

Normal fit is definitely what I prefer to wear. I'm interested a few contests however, so I don't know if I'd be able to join in. What date?

[Scoobersti]

sorry, I don't have anything I know for sure is a '47 cut. I took a look at the Indigo Denim Master and it says that the S614 is the slim model in the Real McCoy's line up. It describes the S613 as "a bit on the relaxed side". The S613XH is the heavier model with 14.75oz. The S613A is the WWII model. S611 is a very full leg, relaxed model.

Another thing is I think I should mention is that, I think The Real McCoy only offers waist sizes up to 36in.

[RyanF]

depending on what jeans you settle on, i might be interested to join this as well

[Denim Phenom]

I'm sure the contest will start pretty soon after the Warehouse one ends so we can have more people participate.

We still need to nail down a pair of jeans though.

What does everyone think about doing a Lee contest? The jeans that i've been looking are sanforized and come in a 36-37inch inseam.

What about the '59 model;
