2009 Fullcount Contest thread

[Rawhide]

trust me, i appreciate the input and effort you've put into this contest, but chill the fuck out. i am generally interested in this this contest and have contributed ideas along the way. i still think that SC 45's are a great, great option here, which is why i've recommended them about 5 times in this thread. several established members who are serious denim enthusiasts have supported this idea too. just b/c some dumb fuck noob wants to trade his fucking nudies in for a pair of levis repros doesn't mean he has immunity. there are dozens of '47/501 inspired cuts out there, more than enough edmond to handle. why go for another one? it's the same old shit. that's all i'm saying. there are a million different opinions pulling this contest in a million different directions, and it seemed like my suggestion was going on a strong pace to be the final pick, so i got a little peeved when mr rawhide opened his yap.

"Noob"? What are you, like 15 years old? Did I accidentally stumble into the World of Warcraft forum?

you've got much to learn.

I'd prefer to see a Lee repro. contest.

[ExileOnMainSt]

Its funny how everyone is voting for the SC 1945B but they have really no idea how small and far apart the back pockets are. I just received mine in the mail today and got a chance to take a look at them on my lunch break.

I'm use to it due to wearing my sorahikos for the past 6 months but the pockets are way smaller and further apart than the sorahikos. Makes my ass look massive. Will post pics later to give people an idea of how big their booty is going to look in these jeans.

[the_state]

^ what size you got?

[ExileOnMainSt]

I got the 33s, they're soft as butter. I didn't buy these jeans because I wanted to wear them everyday, only got them because of the comfy-as-hell LHT and cuz i got a good deal.

Probably gonna keep them in the closet 'till this contest goes down (if we actually use the 45s)

[iamstarwars]

Is there a Fullcount Lee repro? Now, that would be perfect.

[mr.invincible]

what's wrong with a big booty?

i want to holler too

[Happy Hooligan]

since lee and levi are so close, lets split the difference and go Wranger..

Just kidding... or am I?...

[beatle]

But - beautiful pockets....I'd be really excited to see you guys for the Sugar Cane 45...great cu..really nice denim

[ExileOnMainSt]

^^ very nice beatle. I dig the pocket lining on these things, never had half lined pockets before.

Heres some pics of the 45s and the booty shot, had to brighten the pictures my room is very gloomy.

[ChattyPuma]

Love the catfish ass.

[the_state]

i couldn't hang w/ those. i have serious ghetto booty as is.

wish i could +rep for that mets t but i can't.

[mr.invincible]

ok, nm, i don't want to holler.

here's what i'm going to demand-

1947 in 21oz, button fly, 50/50 mix, tiger selvage, levi's arc, red tab, and patch made out of habu snake skin.

ok, j/k. Still waiting for a reply....

After all that fuss?

Mind you, I have to agree.

[ExileOnMainSt]

lol i told you guys the 45s are greasy, any leepro is gonna give you the wide load effect

sometimes you gotta trade a good fit for good denim though

[who8mahrice]

Self removal of back pockets and realign? Don't mind the pocket shape/smallness, but the placement is wack.

[ExileOnMainSt]

maybe? bar tacking would make that extremely difficult though

as i said before, Tan the Man picked these up for me on yahoo auctions for like 7,000 yen, so I'm probably going to Edmond-ize these jeans

Pics are to show your crazy asses that the SC 1945 B is NOT the way to go for this contest

I wouldnt mind the 1101, denim is extremely green though

[oohh AN]

NOT a good look. it doesnt even make your ass look big. just WIDE.

1101 are still slim.

[hysteric]

the only problem i have with a leepro are the back pockets are so far apart usually

...........

[Denim Phenom]

For those of you with Sugar Cane 45s, enjoy them. What was already stated in this thread has been confirmed by Gordon, 45s are no longer in production.

Back to the drawing board of selecting another jean. If Gordon can get SC then he could probably get Buzz Rickson who also makes a Leepro. Should I e-mail him and ask.

Either way, 45s are out.

If you want to wear Levi's repro then go for it. Those of us that want to wear Lee's now need to find a pair that suits our needs.

[oohh AN]

so even with the poll.....you're deciding to go with a lee repro? what the hell was the poll for then? you can see how much more people want levis. like 3 people have voted for lees in the past 3 days compared to like 20 for levis.

it's stupid to have a contest with two jeans, two cuts, two different types of denim.

[edmond]

oh sorry so well go with lee repro?

err why not go with warehouse lee repros?

[YoungPunch]

Just voted for lee. Hardly anyone around here is down with lee. And I know people are not liking the lee fit in the rear. But remember when Paul T sold off all his old lee repros? They were fadeded really well, and looked damn cool.

I think its time time to give lee some sufu love.

Question: Is the Thai denim Plongin would be using the same denim used in the notorious Thai Levi's fakes? Cause if it is...I'd have to vote against it (nothing personal Plongin). I was looking through old threads and found this about them in a discussion between ringring vs open ended denim:

http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=15138&page=3

[oohh AN]

^i dont get it...from what i read.. seems like thai selvage is actually ringspun? 99% of selvedge denim is ringspun.

isnt this what we want?

[lestat]

wow the seat pockets are very far apart

[moykky]

I wouldnt mind the 1101, denim is extremely green though

1101 are still slim.

0105 then?
