Gordon

[pwing]

good to know. i can stop sleeping by my mail box and go outa town for a few days now.

[joelz]

ugggh im probably going to be in mexico when they get here, i'll probably be a late start

[Mr HaGa]

I'm going to be on vacation till the 11th, so I'll have a late start as well. No big deal, a week or two isn't going to make a big difference...

[frostanubis]

This really needs to be moved to the "you know you're addicted when" threak. lolz

[Denim Phenom]

Alright, I've got some good news and some bad news. Good news is that the jeans should be on their way to Gordon as we speak. I'm sure that when Gordon gets them he'll send me pictures.

Bad news is that we won't have painted arcs. There was a problem when the cardstocks were printed and due to the time crunch, they won't be able to fix them. Sorry guys, you could always make your own arc pattern.

[Knugget]

Damn, that is bad news. What a killer. Is there another alternative to the card stock idea?

[indesertum]

i think no arcuates is fine. the anticipation is killing me tho.

[locallau]

i personally wouldn't mind receiving the jeans a little later should the cardstock problem be resolved.

[wesc]

what were the card stocks supposed to look like ? and ya i'd much prefer to wait for a later start date and have the arcs. i really want some arcs now. a cardstock from fc would be ideal for me but if i have to paint some arc created by me then i will ! uhh... just gotta know what kinda paint ? like the dd+1 paint .. ya wats that ?

[YoungPunch]

I'm going to paint arcs on mine as well. Free-hand, I don't need the card stock I guess. I don't know what kind of paint I will use yet, I'll probably just go to an art store and ask them what paint to use on fabric.

Ouch... another feature lost in the shuffle. not a big deal, I guess, but still. i'll probably paint my own arcs.

i'll still be in seoul until the 14th of jan so i'll also be a late start. no biggie!

[Snake]

I was going to use regular latex paint from Home Depot or Lowe's. That's what Levi's used during WWII, right?

[mofonyx]

The arcs are just a cardboard sheet right? I'm sure regular mail would be very cheap anyway. Couldn't they just post it later?

[schmallo15]

could they post the cut-out on their website and allow us to download and cut it out ourselves?

[salaami]

from what ive been told by people who def. would know is that the paint that the evisu painters use is just regular acrylic paint. ive also been told that using a chemical called 'fabric medium' helps when painting on fabric. ive seen both in ben franklin, and michaels. thats what im going to use. . .

[daveo]

It really seems like the arc patterns could be hosted on a website and just downloaded, printed, cut out, and then painted on or something. The idea of just snail-mailing them should be fine too.

I'd be okay without any arcs at all but it would be kind of cool to have self-painted arcs.

[salaami]

the self-painted arcs is what i was most pissed about missing. but i'll figure out something for these.

totally agree with the online idea for the arc!

i also have a feeling that stupid canada post won't get the jeans in before i leave home for school

[Denim Phenom]

I'll email Gordon and see if he can ask Miki/FC if they can supply something for us online.

[wesc]

cosign that idea as well.

[frostanubis]

cosign also on the idea, and plus for sayin that Canada post sucks, the packages probally gonna get delayed anyways knowing those lazy employees that are always there. well for me that is

[salaami]

a damn good idea.

[Denim Phenom]

If for whatever reason FC can't/won't supply an arc template for us online, would someone here want to create one for the contest?

I would think something close to what Fullcount currently uses or just a direct Levi's rip-off would be fine.

Rather than them supplying it online (which they probably don't want to do because of a number of legal based issues - essentially providing a copyrighted image - would they be able to send someone (eg you Phenom) the template and have someone host it somewhere like imageshack or something (and make sure that it doesn't have an affiliation with full count so they can't get sued)

It does sound awfully roundabout tho.

[Knugget]

salaami you up in this contest?

[salaami]

nope, i missed the preorder date. but being that my 1108s didn't have any tabs or arcs, im going to get them somehow. now that i think of it theres no need for essentially 2 of the same jean. so im just a tsujita-san enthusiast. i dont know jack about this new green-line denim, but if its like the pink-line it fades slow, and stretches a lot. i love it. i cant wait for you all to get you new-years goodies. know what, ill post a pic of my embriotic wallet fade in a few minutes. from that you can see enough hue-variance. im bored.
