Full Count 2009 Contest Redux

[tvshooter]

no worry. i asked the owner if that was ok and he said yes. i've learned that anytime someone says, "not to be a ______", they end up doing just that.

my apologies Daveo for the harsh words. still friends?

[mofonyx]

aw that's sweet. some fullcount love going around.

[wesc]

i wanna hear tvshooter play them guitarzzzz.... use the gib !

[ILHE1S]

Exactly. No reason openly offering your store design/layout/concept/brand selection to any db who walks in with a camera. Plus, prob be pretty annoying to have people/potential competitors snapping pics of every inch of your shop.

As everyone knows, in the fashion business there is a huge counterfeiting problem, so most store won't allow for pictures to be taken. There's also a few people that travel the world just taking pictures of clothes and then selling them on DVD's to garmental idiots who bite shit and can't dream up stuff on their own. I remember before you had digital cameras, you actually had to buy the garment before you could knock it off. In Hong Kong you can buy books and books of these pictures, all bootlegs with no publisher name in sight.

My apologies! I must be an innocent thinker at times. Didn't even think of bootlegs or knock offs. Good Point!

[selaviso]

ha no apology for me? lol jk i dont give a fuck... more jeans please lol

[tvshooter]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to tvshooter again.

I soaked these 2 days ago, I'll take and post fit pics later when I have a bit more free time

The stage were these jeans are at now is great. The subtle fading here and there and the shifting color depending on light. In one way this is my favorite period of wear, even though I'm looking forward to more contrasts post wash, it saddens me a little bit that they will never look this way again.

The spring is getting warmer and warmer here. I'm beginning to realize that I might have to wear other pants from time to time this summer...

[joelz]

Completely agree jayrock - it's also annoying cause as much as I try I can't figure out *how* to take pictures of these things to impart how they look.

Also it's 31 C (88 F) here in NY and I'm wearing these jeans, they are surprisingly cool for such heavy (well, in my experience at least) - this past weekend was one of the first where I actually felt like I couldn't wear them cause it was too hot.

uggh, won't be wearing mine for at least 2-4 weeks. Just got acl reconstructive surgery. Gonna suck.

[Denim Phenom]

I haven't been wearing mine for a few weeks now because of the weather here in Hawaii. I'm moving to Las Vegas in July so I don't think these will even be in the running. Oh well...

[Knugget]

dang, i think a huge chunk of us won't be in the running.

[klue]

it was over 90 degrees today and i wore the jeans all day digging in bedrock and compacted clay, swinging a pick ax. it was hot as hell in august but i loved every minute of it.

[kawawaka]

Well, I did something more on the complete opposite, I sat in one of the fountains on campus and invited dozens of people to soak their jeans in with flower petal filled water (mainly crab apples but quite a few maple and oak tassles too. But Klue is right it was balls hot today. I air dried quite quickly and i only soaked them up to my knees.

i agree very much with you on this but i think it is important that we remember that a lot of the beauty of the indigo fading is in the impermenance.

[kawawaka]

Yes the deep sadness is such a beautiful ancient idea but it seems to be one of the newer fads.

[kawawaka]

Sorry i didn't realize how contradictory that statement was. What i was trying to say is there is beauty in knowing that everything will soon be nothing.

[Kermits]

hey klue and kawawaka, is this guy part of your denim crew?

speedy recovery carol.

yah thanks mofo, this is actual my second one on the same knee again, this time hurting it playing football. The faster i can walk on my own without crutches, the faster i'll get to wear my FC's.

[tvshooter]

i said it before and i'll say it again. . . klue & co are fuckin rad.

[selaviso]

great pictures dude. perhaps detailed shots of both jeans? id like to see the paintings on each.

[srok]

Six weeks of normal wear while working in a hospital-type environment. I might do a second soak soon, because I want to get the last of the shrinkage out, and they're getting a little muddy as you can see. I love how these jeans look almost black, yet they fade into a lovely shade of electric blue.

Things should really take off now, because not only am I going to start cycling to work, seeing that that the snow has melted, but I'm actually changing jobs and moving back to the countryside soon (where I'm writing this very post).

It's like something out of Dune!
