[dkatz]

Soaked and dried March 11, first worn that very evening.

Just for kicks:

Can't even see the date, but that's today's Wall Street Journal

If I have time I'll get some good dslr pics when I get home in a few.

^looks like you got some stuff already going on for 20 days, really excited to see how these fade over a year.

[james nicolas]

Why would you take a photo with the date if you are not doing the contest?

You are a confused person.

not confused

i was under the impression it was okay to start early

i'm still planning on participating in the contest

i just started a couple weeks early and will end a couple weeks early

if that's a problem then i guess i won't be participating

i'll be posting updates either way

[Dioxic]

Dang I guess I'm going to start a week late. Oh well, I'll have to make up for that week.

^Looks like you started before April 1...

[iGIT]

lol seriously, i already see some possible whisker fading. Also where is kiya, we need the final word for people who started before april 1.

[branespload]

eh i cbf to take fitpics without a cam so hopefully this counts:

bad fit pic here: http://twitpic.com/2pcop

trust me i haven't worn them. :]

[cure]

i think as long as everyone is honest about when they start and finish, it should be allowed. Its not like we can't tell or look at your previous posts. whatever kiya decides though; i still think my jeans are gonna kick ass regardless if people still start early.

[popPOPpop]

Here's mine..!!! I've been wearing them all day..!

[16steps]

i started early and end accordingly

x-post

[kino]

worn this since the 6th of march i think

[Mekkah]

Here we go!

[xchen]

I gave in and started wearing on March 20. I'll probably have to take a few month hiatus from the contest anyways as I'll probably be joining the army in November or December. Only soaked them for 10 minutes in steaming water and I like the fit a lot.

[echau]

I started 3/14 and will end accordingly, that is, assuming kiya's okay with the people that started early.

[PandaDenim]

I just started wearing them.

No pics sorry.

I have pics just in case I guess:

Soakkk.

[Eggplant]

Here we go...

[Boston.]

a little tight post soak but they're already stretching in the 15 min I've had them right now...

Going to ride 18 miles roundtrip on my bike in these today. I'm seriously concerned these will wear wayy too fast and I'm going to be left with hardly any indigo after a year....we'll see.

[kiya]

Starting a week early or a week late isn't going to make or break this contest for anybody.

Nothing extremely magical can happen in just seven days to a pair of jeans, it's the overall year that's going to leave a true mark.

Also, don't forget JimmyC has contribute a prize to the winner. Jimmy, where's that image you posted to the original thread?

Nothing wrong with that bro, I'd actually love to see a piece of denim with a completely bad ass burned out hard worned look over a skinny jean with every crease carefully planned by someone for maximal contrast.

Random thought: in about a year you guys won't be able to do that whole newspaper-as-proof-of-start-date thing…since newspapers will cease to exist in print form.

[enojy]

speaking of riding, it's getting to be that time of year again for babies like me that don't ride if it's less than 60 degrees out and/or windy... these are kind of loose though, i might tear the shit out of the right leg. i forget what happens when clothing gets caught up in the sprockets. does the bicycle explode?

[Boston.]

thats why I double cuff up to the knee on my right side. if you have a regular bike with gears / single speed you can just stop pedaling - take your hem out, and start again. the worst case scenario would be a tear in your jean. if i were to get my pant stuck in the teeth of a chainring in a fixed gear my leg would turn round and round with the pedals until i came to a stop likely resulting in the loss of my leg / ankle / foot combination.

no bueno.

regardless, i just got back and there's some definite fade already from my saddle and the front creases already appear light blue. the stacking looks whack but thats mostly cuz of my crazy cuffs. i would really like to use a wash once a month strategy for these, but i'm afraid there would be wayy too much indigo loss so it'll probably be every 3. what are you guys thinking about?

[individualsole]

I started mine about 2 weeks earlier, but I'll gladly stop 2 weeks before the end date. Still wish I got a 33 instead of a 34.

I got my shoe laces stuck caught up on the crank once. My foot felt gorilla clamped to the pedal and the laces tore through 2 of my jack purclell's holes, leaving a gnarly vintage kind of sneaker, and a foot with insufficient blood.

Sigh.

Community papers will rise however.

crazy, im in the same predicament. The waist is way too big on the 34. Our fits look entirely diff.
