Massa x La Deluxe Contest Thread [Pics/Discussion]

[Navaro]

I have wore mine for I think 3 weeks (?), it has got alot softer (which i don't really like).

[Navaro]

Almost forgot, Paean hope we could meet on my Singapore trip

[salo]

it's probably some kind of marketing scheme.

they make you buy the denim. but fits' are totally.. off.

i dont think in any way were we forced or obligated to make a purchase without consideration of the fit.

My denim has currently been worn for 28 days. Everything seems fine though.

Ok, so my friend for better and sharper creases soaked his denim (Skull 5010xx) in cold water...would this technique give the same results for Massa Jeans? How much shrinkage etc if you could happen to help me out.

zero shrinkage. you can soak them cold and wear them while they are wet to set in your creases but you really don't need to. did you put them in the dryer? that can take a lot of the initial stiffness out of the jeans.

soak em. wont hurt... i usually soak my sanfordized denimmmm just because i feel like its a cool process and it gets the starch out....and also makes em look darker.

@thecrisis: I have used mine for a week lest than your, but pictures shows (on your blog) mine are doing so much more process. What do you do while wearing them?

[thecrisisofimperialorder]

[m1sterko]

[Navaro]

[fulus]

I think every one is busy getting their jeans dirty before they up load the pics

[Navaro]

Maybe, this computer I'm using can't read my camera, I'll try again tommorow.

[thecrisisofimperialorder]

i am posting pics a lot. just look at the blog. i post often but its not worth it for me to constantly post that i made a new post

[hurleyboarder11]

I'm in the process of moving! I'll update some pictures in a week or so. crisis, post up w.e you have whenever you want! Progress is looking nice!

[salo]

approximately 2 weeks of wear, more photos coming soon

thread revival... this thread needs more pictures and less talk.

[Navaro]

Yours look nice salo!

Here's mine today, in front of Singapore's New Art Museum (8Q, that's the name).

I traveled so light I had to buy a toothbrush. Knees are fading nicely, don't have pictures though.

[salo]

hahah thanks, you're in singapore?

i'm from sg too

[Navaro]

I'm leaving town Sunday (21/09) around 5, but I gotta be at the airport from 3 I guess.

If you want to catch up tomorrow morning that's fine with me. Before lunch would be great.

No money though, if we're gonna meet, let's meet somewhere near Bugis/ City Hall (it'll save me transportation fee). PM me your number man.

@crisis: I like the way your right leg are doing so much more progress than your left leg.

And some of my shoes are getting stains from the indigo. Any help on that? I tried using Jason Mark (a sneaker cleaner), that didn't work.

use a very light dose of paint thinner... but too much of it will strip the paint on the shoe. mix some with water and it should get it out in one swipe.

[salo]

masking tape or cuff your jeans?

[Lowduck]

The contest jeans, what a great price Japanese fabric....I really cannot miss this one, just sent the email and I hope I will getting my jeans soon, thanks Connie.

man the fuck up.

Try to avoid wearing white shoes, basically you just cannot avoid the fading from the indigo on your white shoes.
