2009 Fullcount Contest thread

[Curious_George]

The SDAs are actually described as "Full leg Relaxed fit" on BiG, so I'm glad we went with the regular/straight fit Fullcounts. I suppose the distinction between regular fit and relaxed depends on one's build/weight, but my s0500s (closely comparable to the Fullcounts it seems) fit me like regular fit jeans. Maybe your idea of regular is more of a relaxed cut.

I'll post the patches that Gordon drew which were close to what you drew up poopslush. He likes the baseball one the most and thinks that FC will probably like that one best except for the baseball head. I personally like that part of it but he thinks it might be too cartoonish for FC tastes.

Gordon said for people to continue designing patches. I'm going to try and draw something up so I can have some kind of part in it rather than just the middleman.

[bonanz]

what about an old school kids playing stickball in jeans theme for the patch?

check out this flickr photo i found just searching around, especially the caption.

^ that pic would be great

[poopslush]

I thought this was supposed to be a regular fit denim contest? Correct me if I'm wrong DP or anyone else for that matter.

I can see that all of you are happy that this is a SLIM/STRAIGHT denim contest. I remember distinctly that the title was regular fit, not sliim/ straight contest.

How are these not regular/straight fit? If you're bitching about the taper, then you need to take in account that the inseam is 38 inches long, so the taper seems more extreme than it is. The 0105 is also fullcount's loosest model that I know of. Just size up and stop complaining or get out...

[Knugget]

Where does the racism come in again?

How is using Buddha racist?

[poopslush]

[lestat]

i think a bigger belly wud be better though... but thats just me

[fre-co]

good stuff jimmy!

[monook]

racist? lol.

nice work

[laughter95]

i'm not knocking on your hard work-- it looks quite impressive and definite candidate for the patch

but i was curious to know if anyone else saw an asian caricature that promotes the stereotype that asians have slits for eyes.

[bbtadd1ct]

I didn't notice it until it was pointed out. I'm asian and I don't take offense to that patch. Maybe that's just me though.

[Curious_George]

I like the patches by both poopslush and jimmyc (ball player Buddha doesn't seem racist to me, but I'm not asian so that's all I can say).

Basically, I'm for any patch with a variation of the goofy 53 red stockings guy.

jimmy, awesome work! i like both of em, but diggin the second one more! cant wait for the final details of this project..

[concealed]

can anyone tell me if FC jeans are anything like the Warehouses, with the crotch explosions and all that. I am definitely going to size up a bit more than i did before, since these measurements are fairly similar. I just hope they will make the crotch heavy duty, thats the only request I have!

[Denim Phenom]

Their are problems with the Warehouse contest jeans because they were constructed poorly and I believe they used all cotton thread. I'm sure that we'll choose a thread with a polycore so it is stronger. If you compare the crotch stitching of the Warehouse jeans to other jeans you own you'll see how much better the stitch work on other jeans is.

[concealed]

Sounds awesome, yeah I noticed the stiching is a little bit less than my other jeans. I just dont want the same thing to happen again. I wear my jeans pretty hard and do a lot of walking, which has resulted in 2 repair jobs for the WH's so far..

I want to have a dragon patch

or maybe a chimera.

I have to disagree. I prefer 100% cotton, I've never had a crotch explosion.

Edit: according to the FC website, they use 100% cotton thread for the stitching.

"it makes the colour of stitch fade away like the colour of denim fabric does.... fullcount believes this is the authentic jeans"

polycore! Crotch explosions sucks in the winter

You don't seem to understand. Fullcount use cotton tarn.

[Knugget]

Jimmy if you are reading this, do you have like limitless characters and fonts and so on to just breathe out patches?
