Left Field Jeans

^welcome and awesome job!

[zenrunner]

The taper looks great.  I was watching an old episode of Friends yesterday and Chandler was wearing sweatpants that fit very similarly.  You didn't pre-soak yours did you?  

[Left Field]

@happybabyyoga bonus points for but shots, only ladies though. I know unfair, but get over it. 

@toincoss if you request those for the variety box we will throw some in if we have your size.

@mfarmtown nice idea to taper them, we are going to do one womens jean selvedge w/ lycra in the near future. 

thanks for everyone that's posted looks great the more info you say about yourself the closer knit the family gets. For those who haven't posted yet don't be shy introduce yourself. C

Hello All,

This is my first post on sufu and also my intro post for the sweatpants contest. My name is Greg and I am from Fort Worth, Texas. Currently I am at school in Chicago. I am hopelessly obsessed with raw denim and evolution and these sweatpants are just a whole new game for me. I am very surprised how well these things dress up. Everybody is shocked/intrigued when i mention I'm wearing sweats. I even went out to lunch with my mom and she thought i was in real pants! I can't wait to see how these things evolve and I'm excited to actually participate on sufu instead of just lurking like usual. Here are my initial fit pics. I love these things with my engineer boots and a button down. 

The fit looks great! And again your Chippewa's look amazing. Is that a bird on your shirt or did mfarmtown throw indigo at you?

 

I accidently downvoted you and I have no idea how to undo it

LOVE the taper mfarmtown!

The shirt is from a brand called Modern Amusement, although now I'm starting to think letting mfarmtown throw indigo at me might look even cooler... 

[mfarmtown]

thanks everyone! Zenrunner, I did not presoak them.

 

Emperor and Formula, my sweats did get some splashes when I was dyeing last week, though you can't really tell. Definitely should try that on some lighter colored fabrics though.

Did you take any pictures of the dyeing process?  If so, please post them!  Roger stopped by the shop the other day, and told us about it.

[mfarmtown]

Progression of shoes! Ended up doing 8 dips or so on each.

 

Also dyed some wool yarn..

 

(continued in the next post!)

[mfarmtown]

...Handkerchiefs...

 

Selvedge for bracelets, and t-shirts.

 

And here's some sweatpant shots.

[whozdrew?]

Looks like fun.

Hi LF sweatpants competitors!  This is my first sufu pic posting...  I am a yoga instructor and live in St. Paul near BlackBlue (where I found myself today buying a LF sweatshirt.)  I purchased a size small and you can see from the pics that they are a little baggy and long.  And, yes, I posted the butt pic.  So far I have machine washed them in cold and hung dry.  After several days of walking the poodle in the pic (Sandy Girl) through melting snow, puddles, and mud the bottoms are pretty nasty.  I will wash them tonight in hot and then put them in the dryer.  Hopefully, that will shrink them a bit.  I'll post an "after" pic if there is any signifcant shrinking.  I might have to taper and shorten... will see.  Welcome to everyone in the contest.  This should be a fun adventure!

[bradl]

Shoot her an email, http://www.etsy.com/shop/farmtowndenim, I believe she will be doing more of them in May.

[misterh]

Loving the left field excitement. Keep it up folks.

[satchelbmoore]

the easiest way to post fit pics: come into BlackBlue.

 

John (jyoni) has started wearing the full LF indigo sweatsuit to work construction every day. His sweatshirt looks amazing and the pants won't be behind for long. always great to hang with an OG sufu head and someone who wears his stuff HARD. He is setting a pretty high bar.

 you know those were mine dude! lol

[mfarmtown]

Yup, bradl is right - next run of indigo dyed shoes will be in May! 

[EmperorSelassieEye]

@mfarmtown- I never knew I needed indigo dyed running shoes until this very moment. I'll be the talk of the town at races.

@happybabyyoga- Welcome! How tall are you? Your poodle is half your height!

[Maynard Friedman]

Just ordered the indigo short sleeve pocket t-shirt. Looking forward to this...

EDIT: the interesting thing about that dog above is that it's actually a miniature poodle!

[Shorty Long]

any updates on the new batch of t-shirts that were spoken of earlier this winter? did you decide to offer a pocket version?

Coming soon and yes there will be a pocket version available.

 

For those who missed it - 2 packs of tubular knit tee shirts in white, olive drab, black, athletic grey, and navy.

[Shorty Long]

EXACTLY what I wanted to hear...many thanks.

@shorty Long, yeah we did that because of your interest and some others on the thread. The factory we did the tubes at couldn't set the pockets so we had to send half the production to another factory to get them put on, but all's good. We will be switching factories to accommodate pocket tees for the next run.

@mfarmtown nice operation! giving 3sixteen a run for the money

@jyoni killing it man! nice work.

I'm 5'2".  Standard poodle, Sandy Girl, is pretty tall!

[happybabyyoga]

Is there an app for sufu??

[happybabyyoga]

Nice....!

@satchelbmoore how about we send you pics and you post them for us?!
