Full Count 2009 Contest Redux

[salaami]

^^^lookin' mighty 'frosty'...sickness. you should go 12 more with those. this contest is getting fucking sweet. the last few pages are over the top

[SLAB]

After 5 months of continous wear, finally some noticeable salaryman fades

[almostnice]

looking good! could you post pics of the whole pair?

[SLAB]

yeah, i took some pictures from them entirely but they turned up so dark it was impossible to distinguish any fades (which they do have) lol

[almostnice]

just wait for some good daylight,no direct sun.i sometimes use a flash as a support.it can make a huge difference showing the details.todays point&click cameras are great if you know how they work ( no offense here )

[frostanubis]

what happened with the crotch

it started to rip, and holes started to develop, so i just cut out that section and reapplied another piece of denim fabric on it to subsitute for tat area

[tvshooter]

hey dudes. been awhile. my computer was down for a bit so i wasn't able to update pics. everyone's stuff is lookin real good. i tried to rep ya'll but it wants me to spread some more. good stuff. jeans are really starting to take off now. i wash about once a month now that it's hot. that's about it. onto the picture's. . .

VA is in the motherfucking building!

[callejeros]

Are those beers Quilmes? (Argentinian Brand)

Where did you get them?

[wesc]

look like blue moon ?

[salaami]

are those the purple weft PBJs? just asking

[lilldavid]

man I kinda regret not getting these now.... everyones pairs are looking so good already. seems they fade as obediently as the 660's

[salaami]

not as fast-to-fade/crock as 1000xx denim, but is most def at least equal. there is something really special about FC denim.

[emmitbrown]

I'm planning on washing fairly often from here on out. I wanted to get a good base going before I started washing regularly.

[chambo2008]

looks good and i think the same about getting a good base then washing regularly

[emmitbrown]

I'm just not sure what I mean by 'regularly'. At this point I'm not used to just washing denim for no reason, so it would be hard to break that habit. But if I get myself into some sweaty/dirty situations (ie. building seemingly pointless dams, climbing trees on a college campus, sliding down piles of crushed rock at a quarry, etc) I'm not gonna hesitate.

[salaami]

^^lol. looking fine,emmit.i'm not gonna lie, when i get a new pair o' jawns i like to keep them as my backup jean for as long as possible before i put them on daily-rock status. it gives the creases a good head start. ive had the WH since like feb-march, but i've only washed them once apart from the 2 hot soaks and wash i gave them to get the starch out initially. and i wouldn't have washed them then if the baby hadn't gotten food on them 2 a cookout. even though my FC are on wash#27 i don't just wash them for the fuck of it, only when filthy.

WHATS UP WITH THE PICS PEOPLE? I KNOW THESE JEANS FADE! IT'S BEEN LIKE 6MOS, SO I KNOW SOMETHINGS POPPIN!

[Mr HaGa]

bump for this thread with some pics of the fullcounts in Paris... Funny how everyone was taking pics of the Notre Dame but my wife was taking shots of my ass... I'll have some more detailed shots next week...

[salaami]

what knd of sneaks are those?

[Mr HaGa]

Tretorn nylite canvas mid-hi...

[Mr HaGa]

What the fuck is up with having to go dig for this thread on page 3 or 4 of superdenim lately???

Almost 5 months, 2 washes, they may get a 3rd today if I have time, if not next week. This is finally a pretty accurate pic, colour wise. I was going to take more, but the batteries died...

[salaami]

haga,just lovely. you gotta search because mofos don't update. from now on i'm not even gonna post here, cause i post here more than cats who are actually in the contest. plus, the contest is well underway, so theres no need for a pace-rabbit. i'm retired...i'm just a lurker now. i just PM &+rep people from now on...

[tvshooter]

c'mon, don't bail out on us now Salaami! your knowledge is outstanding. can't rep ya HaGa, but your FC's are well on their way to awesomeness.

[salaami]

ty, to be completely honest, only like 5-6 actual contestants even post their thoughts here, and even less post pics. this contest(up until this point) doesn't do miki-san ,or gordon justice,imho. these are just as good(or better)a jeans as WH,DB,Samurai,Denime,evisu,and all the other denims that are involved in conests(construction,denim,and fade-wise), but they ain't getting the love. i'm not even posting pics in the evo or FC threads until the contest is over, cause i get harder wear/more washes than any of the actual 1108C owners so i don't want my jeans to affect the contest in any way. i don't want to potentially taint the judging. i answer all PMs, so holla! i'm on sufu sabbatical for a while...salaami out!

[H.Bosch]

Here are a few pics of my pair at about 5 1/2 months; 2 initial soaks, 1 machine wash & 2 quick hand washes. Thinking about doing another machine wash tomorrow.

the acrylic arcs wearing out just as planned:

the creases on the left leg moved probably due to the leg twisting after the machine wash:

i'll try and post some post wash pics next week, if i do a wash.

some +rep is due to the other pairs posted recently!

and salaami DO stay around!

[joelz]

I'd put pics up but my jeans really don't look like they are evolving at all, so i figured people aren't interested

[setterman]

Not much going on with my jeans. They're starting to get stinky, so I'll probably wash them again this weekend. If there's anything worth sharing post wash, I will.

+1. salaryman status strikes again.

I think summer has played a part in the slow down of this thread. People have other things to do. And I think a lot of the jeans are on a plain right now where they've gotten that initial wear in, and now they're changing slowly. I know I haven't seen much change in mine over the past month. Part of that though is due to summer and the white wear areas turning grey from sweat and dirt. Won't know what's new until you put them through the wash.
