Lastly Jyoni wanted to graciously offer some special repairs for the winner from raw hand denim repair. So I'll let him get in contact directly. C

[Formula Pfaff]

Congrats to everybody!

What an awesome way to begin the weekend. This has been such a fun experience with all of you. Left Field is such a kickass company and the people into the products are a really welcoming group. Everybody's hospitality and enthusiasm made it super easy to delve into the sufu forums for the first time and motivated me to be active in the thread. This was my first competition of this sort and I must say I am hooked! Now the hard part of deciding what to get with the prize...

Thanks y'all!

[satchelbmoore]

Thank you! you had the best participation by far! quality posts. great content.

[EmperorSelassieEye]

Thanks and congrats to everyone! Looking forward to seeing what everyone picks up! I'm going to echo @Formula Pfaff's comments, great brand that I'll continue to support. I'm going to continue wearing the sweats of course and I'll be sure to post updates.

 

Also Formula you really do deserve the first prize for the great posts. Enjoy!

[altoclefchris]

Congrats to everyone who was in on that!

 

Christian, any plans to run another for something different anytime soon?

[waxedandriveted]

slightly off topic (but staying in the indigo-dyed-fleece-goods theme). the TALON zip on the indigo hoodie is noticeably serious, even at first glance. it's bigger and more rugged than the smaller zippers on most hoodies out there. the dark color is way more "repro" (for lack of a better word) than the silver zips you see on most. looks like it belongs on a very expensive flight jacket. had this crazy image of @jyoni sourcing one and making a fly for his sweatpants (or graciously fitting one in someone else's)

[jyoni]

Oh boy, installing a zipper would be fun! I haven't seen the hoodie in person. Waxedandriveted has a keen eye in these matters so now I'm very curious.

@guthrie and @Formula Pfaff, pm if you'd like to take advantage of the repair offer! As the contest ends, it brings back memories of the start, when it was just an exciting idea that grew. Call it nostalgia, but because of that we wanted to put a little something in the prize mix too.

I must admit I am struggling to accept a place among the winners. I don't mean to question the judging -- I know the insane amount of love and hard needlework put into them yielded quite a special pair. Just struggling with it. I'm just so blown away by some of the other pairs.

[happybabyyoga]

Congratulations, winners!  Way to go spreading the love...  Well done!

[pchoden]

Congrats to the winners and all contestants on the sweatpants contest. Enjoyable to see the way various entries evolved over time.

 

Christian or others, would love to get further insight into the fit of the BlackBlue greaser collab, given the changes in measurements in the waist and back rise. As I proud owner of 4 pairs of greasers all measured the same, I want to know if there is a major fit difference in the BlackBlue collab. Really want to order them soon, but a bit uncertain.

[jortslife]

Awesome! Congrats to all the other winners as well! Thanks Left Field and BlackBlue. What a rad experience, definitely echoing everybody else about how great it was and of course super great updates @formulapfaff!

[guthriegking]

So it's that time again... time for a 23oz update!

At this point I think they've had 3 or 4 machine washes.

Those are looking great man. Are you wearing them year round?

[altoclefchris]

Those are looking great man. Are you wearing them year round?

 

Yep! I wore them through last summer, it was surprisingly comfortable, though at the time they were the only pair in rotation. Now I've got a second pair in rotation so they're not seeing as much wear.

[Left Field]

@altoclefchris really nice man, could be a rawr denim contender. 

[maltess2]

How much are the Crew neck tees going to shrink after first wash?

[waxedandriveted]

How much are the Crew neck tees going to shrink after first wash?

 

how do you normally wash your tees?

 

Also, which tee did you get?

 

The tube tee measuring chart on left field's website reflects post washing measurements, so that could be a good place to start. 

 

but just to summarize from the website: if you got the two pack tube tee, you'll lose about 3%

 

as for the rest of the tees, if you follow the tag instructions, i wouldn't expect much. (someone with contrary experience/knowledge feel free to dispute that)

 

if you're worried you could do cold gentle wash and hang dry, that way you won't get much shrinkage at all. But, that can be unreasonable because we wash our tees a lot. Going through an ordinary gentle machine wash and low tumble dry, i assume you'll get around that 3% number shrinkage (if you got the tube tees that is).

[SCOTTO]

Also curious about the new measurements on the new denim picks. Hope the OG Greaser cut will survive.

[Left Field]

The OG greaser will survive just a few tweaks for riding motorcycles. It just covers your ass crack a bit more so nothing to get too excited about. C

[UkeNo]

Damn! Damn! Damn!

Missed the close of the Comp!

Congratulations to the winners - I'll post up some pictures of mine and the girlfriends pairs ASAP.

They're still going strong. Will eventually develope some severe Sofa fades but so far holding up really well.

[satchelbmoore]

^^ we were wondering where you were!

[waxedandriveted]

wasting time on the web and found LF brown selvedge miners in a 30 on the bay! was something of a grail item for me when i was looking for small sizes in a slim, raw, brown selvedge duck (but with no anime breasts on patch ) until I gave up and pulled the trigger on ralphie's version. should have waited it out. 

 

it says they are seconds, but since they are brand new, the $184 buy it now only might be worth it, considering the rarity.

^Speaking of which, there's a pair of Black & Blue seconds in a 38 for 200 bucks @ leftfieldnyc.com. A couple sizes too big for me, but I could aspire to eat lots of corned beef and cabbage this weekend!

 

in other news, a long overdue 14-month black maria greasers update coming soon.

[vultureparade]

Congratulations to the winners of the sweatpant contest! It was a lot of fun, and I look forward to more in the future.

[Left Field]

@milehigh, I have the Black Maria fabric inhouse just waiting on a few other new fabrics for the cutting. Both The Chelsea and the Greaser will be cut. Some cool new fabrics in the pipeline! C

[satchelbmoore]

^C,  i hear you saw andrew at BiG! He says there's some sweet stuff in the works! pumped.

I was trying to say that I've needed to share pics of my black marias. 

 

So here goes--Black Maria greasers first worn on December 6, 2013, probably 12-13 months of wear, 10-11 washes, one small crotch reinforcement by hand):

^Killer. My black marias are one of my favorite pairs.

[Broark]

Those look pretty sweet, nice work.

Makes me want to grab a pair.
