Hehe, nice one Salaami! Did your leather patch survive the oven?

[Mr HaGa]

I really need these jeans... My sams are being repaired, and because of my extra holiday fat I can't wear my Prescott and DJ, so I'm stuck wearing an old pair of Nudies... Another 2 weeks before we have these? Makes me feel a bit guilty about asking for mine to be reproduced, but the inseam was just going to be too short...

And Salaami, I'm really curious about your paint job. I haven't decided if I'm going to paint arcs...

[mr.invincible]

im just wondering if the contest will even have arcs

i know even if they don't we could do it ourselves, but it would be awesome if the contest officially gave us card stocks to do them.

I'm waiting on word from Gordon about that.

[frostanubis]

up to this point, i have no complaints and really just waitin for the jeans to arrive sucks they gonna arrive around february though

[mr.invincible]

for some reason, i have this feeling that all this waiting and complaints will pay off to a bomb ass contest. I am waiting on the call for the arcs, that will put me over the fence.

[kenthenoob]

this is so exciting!

Yeah, I think that the fact that there's already been a fair amount of blood, sweat and tears (mostly the latter) shed over the competition should make everyone appreciate their jawns even more - these aren't your standard competition jeans, after all; These are the jeans that I paid for almost two god damned months ago, so I'm definitely going to wear the hell out of them for the rest of the year. And the next one.

Denim Phenom, any word on the pictures? PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE but oh it's so difficult.

I thought the arcs were not gonna happen. Is it ok without the tab (which we are getting anyways...hohohohoo )?

[emmitbrown]

Here is a quick rundown on the updates and such, which is easily obtainable if you just read the thread. DP...correct me if I'm wrong or left something out.

Tabs? - Yes, Gordon is including a tab with the jeans upon shipment. You will have to attach the tab yourself, if you wish to have it on your jeans.

Arcs? - Gordon is working on including 2 stencils. A regular FC arc stencil and their WWII style one.

When will we get them? - Around the beginning of February.

DP is waiting to hear from Gordon on a lot of things. I think I read him post that at least 10 times in the last 10 pages. You people are ridiculous. Have some patience.

[Mr HaGa]

You people are ridiculous. Have some patience.

Thanks for recapping, but come on man, nobody is being ridiculous, just excited to get these jeans...

[khoiphan92]

I'm just as excited to see them. I might be a late contestant.

[mr.invincible]

hopefully no on gets my size.

[mofonyx]

Thanks for the pictures DP, you're awesome.

I'll be having trouble sleeping tonight with all the excitement.

chambo2008: I reckon latest by mid-feb, but we're all hoping it'll be earlier

[khoiphan92]

fuckfuckfuckfuck. this is Zimbabwe cotton right?

[selaviso]

boner jams 09

[mr.invincible]

yea it's zimbabwe cotton

that is beautiful...

DP..info on the arcs..please so i can buy them now

[khoiphan92]

arcs and tabs are a minor thing... just click add to shopping cart then checkout already. ill join you if my money comes in time...

[mr.invincible]

ill join if you are joining for sure.

arcs are a big thing to me. it will make the jeans more extra special. I like more perks to it. attention to detail and perks.

[khoiphan92]

well yeah i guess.

but i already got an idea for the arcs forget paint.

I im gonna trace the stencil on a piece of a paper, lay the paper on the pocket. Stitch with the paper still on. So at the end, the paper will be stitched in but ill just rip it out. Now you got yourself some legit looking arcs. Easy

[Denim Phenom]

gordon will probably get arcs with the new jeans. If he doesn't get them, paint your own. It shouldn't be the deciding factor.

[salaami]

my lil sis is on some ill shit right now, so i cant post pics. the arc are doing just fine. real heavy duty...front pocket thread is not;). repairing tonight, once i get high enough...

[frostanubis]

so the paint, would i be able to get it from a depot store or a art speciality store and wat was the paint tat u used exactly? because i'm decidin right now if i should paint my FC's or not.

note: evisu hidden rivets finally broken in =D

[salaami]

the paint is Delta Creative Ceramcoat. opaque yellow/opaque red. cheap, but i heard the paint kobayashi uses is just regular ole' acrylic paint. i dont know if they use fab.medium or not. but i would (3:1 paint:medium) recommend it. i watched kobayashi from evisu on youtoube a few times, and its not really hard(not to discredit the artform). i am no expert, just a fast learner. i wanted to make the arcs pretty sturdy, so i applied 3 coats, and baked the paint between coats, as you can see the patch is prettymuch unaffected, it was a bit dried out, so i rubbed some EV olive oil in real good. patch jumped back like crack. i love how when seen in real life up close you can see the lil' flaws that let you know they're hand-painted...

[mofonyx]

Oh wow, they look symmetrical on the left and right (can't tell really because there isn't a full shot).

You've got a stencil?

edit: oh wait, the first picture is a mirror image.
