Full Count 2009 Contest Redux

[tvshooter]

^ i know...i was just kiddin.

[salaami]

i've handled TV's fullcounts(of course while he wasn't wearing them), and they are spectacular. the contest denim is identical to the ''regular pink line'' FC denim in texture, and softness. the only difference is the green lame, and the thickness. the contest denim fells substantially thicker than my own pair(to me @ least)

[Bijan]

I think I'm just gonna have to get another pair of the 0105s when the contest is over. These are GREAT jeans.

[Denim Phenom]

I can't wait until my FCs look like TVs. I'm another couple months away from anything like that.

[Mr HaGa]

Here's a fit pic till I have time to take more and better. I have a little under 2 months to go. And I agree that it is a pretty even contest, no real frontrunners anymore...

[aho]

damnnnnn these are all looking so good...it'll be interesting to see who wins given the WH contest winner even though I'd say everyone is about even right now!

[untungl]

I threw my jeans in the wash for the 4th time and they're hanging out to dry right now. Though they won't be as good as some of the ones on this page, my pics will be coming soon!

[untungl]

oops.. forgot to post the pics.

Not quite as far along as some, but I think they'll look great (after the contest is over )

[Mr HaGa]

My Fullcounts, 6 weeks to go in the contest. Pics were taken inside with flash, so contrast is exaggerated and color is off, but anyway. I need to take some more pics outside in natural lighting sometime...

Not much combage because of the looser fit I have on these...

Fit. Color and contrast are more representable in these pics.

[wesc]

must spread rep... but gorgeous ! its getting close for me as well

[Mr HaGa]

Since lots of people are getting close to the end of the contest, should we consider creating a pics only thread for people to (cross)post their final picture updates? Would be a great thread considering all the beautiful pairs competing and would make it easier for whoever is going to judge this contest as well?

[Lendo]

^ Make it so, Mr. HaGa.

[dandandan]

i think i'll be catching up to everyone in about a year, salaryman status

atleast i have until march

[Knugget]

^killa. i'll try to rep you next time Knug.

[Denim Phenom]

Knugget, that's awesome.

I think that site is confused as to what work wear is.

[Knugget]

thanks. it's not the site, but rather the people who wrote the article. i was a few doors down from self edge when they stopped me for that

[pwing]

[almostnice]

those pics make me cry.

I WANT THEM BACK!!!

boohooohooooo.....

[Mr HaGa]

Great pwing, definitely one of the nicest pairs in the competition... Sad this contest is coming to an end soon.

Almostnice, is there any hope of getting them back ever? Or are they just lost in some DHL Black hole for ever and ever?

[pwing]

Thanks for the reps guys!

3 more weeks left for me.

[aho]

I seriously think this contest could go for at least a half more year but what can you do...Anyways, lots of great pairs! It'll be an interesting next month...

i havent got a clue.the "official" search deadline is 29. jan.after that i can claim my money back,although if the parcel appears after they should let me know.all i can do is to deal with some underpaid callcenter idiots over the phone,who just want to get rid of my rants asap..

i hate those cunts!

[Denim Phenom]

Does anyone want to prolong the end date?

[almostnice]

1 more year please so i can start again.

[Knugget]

you'd probably catch up and surpass a good chunk of us within that time span too.

[SLAB]

@ mr haga 'You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Mr HaGa again.'

@pwing + rep

boths pairs look amazing; i'll stop procrastinating and soon put up another picture of my pair which is sadly to say nowhere as impressive as above mentioned posters

[Mr HaGa]

Does anyone want to prolong the end date?

It would be tempting and interesting, but on the other hand I don't think we should change the terms of the contest a month before it ends. And I have all these other jeans waiting and waiting... So I don't think I want to prolong. Not that I'll stop wearing these great jeans of course.

[setterman]

Does anyone want to prolong the end date?

Nope. I've got two other pair of jeans that have been patiently waiting in the wings for this contest to be over with. I'm ready to start wearing them daily.

Gave my Full Counts their January wash Sunday night, and then turned around and had to wash them again last night. I shot a buck back in early December on the final day of deer season, and finally got around to taking the head to a guy last night to be cleaned with beetles and made into a European mount. Would have done it sooner, but the weather turned to shit and made travel tough. Anyways, as bad as that head stank after sitting in my garage for a month (wasn't as cold in there as I thought), this guys shop was 10 times worse. I was in there for five minutes, and I had to drive home with the windows down and once I was there threw all my clothes in the wash.

If the sun shows up this week (doubtful) I'll take some update pix. All the wear areas are bright white right now, but that won't last long.

Personally I'd be ok with extending this competition another year - and I know (most of) our jeans could handle it (I'm not totally sure klue's still exist anymore), but I agree - I don't know if changing the terms of the contest in the last month is the best plan.

That being said, I'd totally be down to rotate these in with my LVC's and Amoskeags...
