SEXDBXS09 Contest Thread

[vamks]

that's a pretty good call, the vertical falling is pretty interesting and the contrast isn't as severe. The hue of the jeans aren't nearly as blue as some other peoples, it has a sort of griminess to it that I like.

I'm really hoping these look lighter as a whole, sort of like the classic vintage denim that we see every once in a while, but i'm not sure that can happen in the next 5 months. We'll see.

Awesome variety! Amazing how differently these are fading for different people - IGIT's go the more modern-style high-contrast fades going vs. vamks' vintagey gritty/grainy vertical falling.

I'm curious why such variety... vamks, what's your washing profile been so far? I suspect you've done more washing than IGIT - I've washed 4 times now and mine are definitely more similar to vamks'.

[iGIT]

I'll give mine a wash at the end of this month! Is it possible to have high contrast fade / vintagey fades? I really like how both yours and vamks pair look. The light blueish color is nice.

Hi I'm new to this forum... Can someone provide some sizing info for the SEXDBXS09? My waist measured is 30", will a tag size 29 work for me or will it be kinda loose? Thanks for the help...

I imagine sizing down one would be fine. The waist on these runs a bit large in proportion to tagged size. That said, I went true to size with mine, and after they "shrunk-to-fit" (i.e. hot washing, then wearing in heat/sweat/etc.) they're spot on.

[Markk]

I, too, noticed that the waist might be .5" bigger than listed. I went true to size and have pretty much the exact same fit as seen on the site, which is a straight fit. Sizing down one is definitely doable.

Some amazing stuff the last few pages. Mine don't really compete. but heres a few quick teasers.

2 Months and 6 Days...

Wish I had started at the beginning. You all shame me. GWAR on Tuesday night should help!

[poly800rock]

Alright I'll bite. Took this a few weeks back around 7 months but never bothered to post them. I will say though, they're fading a lot this month for some reason, excited to see the change during 8 months.

color is these is killer, congrats

[tigerformula]

Yeah I really like the color, sort of somet-ish.

[PandaDenim]

I'll put up some pics later.

Got some dope turkeyday pics and good update on the denim.

Stay tuned denim addicts.

[iGIT]

I just soaked my dry bones for 20 minutes but then i noticed that i used to much soap. Ended up throwing them into the washer. Will post up pictures sometime this week!

[cure]

lol what happened exactly? did it just sud up too much?

[iGIT]

lol what happened exactly? did it just sud up too much?

Yeah to much soap, plus once i took it out of the water i noticed a lot of white spots. It was from using to much powder so i just threw them into the washer.

Jeans just finished drying, i don't fit into them.... lol

[PandaDenim]

Here we go...Thanksgiving pics.

Table setting.

Glasses.

Ah yes, time to crack open the bottle.

Turkey.

Stuffed with lemons, oranges, sage, rosemary, and other herbs.

Unstuffing, we stopped doing stuffing a few years ago.

Cutting.

Juicy looking huh?

[PandaDenim]

More...

Some veggies to chew on while we have exhilarating table talk.

My mom really wanted me to eat brussel sprouts, she insists I ate them before when I was little but I don't recall...and all the TV shows and shit make it sound like shit is disgusting. She made it with bacon, it's actually not bad at all. Suck it up and eat it, it's not as bad as everyone says.

Here they are with bacon.

Oopsies, I forgot to upload a shot of the lamb raw...oh well

Sigh...poorly shot, was too excited to eat the lamb...

Table with food! Lots of things I didn't include...like creamed corn and sweet potatoes...sorry!

Dessert and fit pics to come.

[PandaDenim]

Dessert.

My aunt made these cookies, they were pretty awesome.

My little brother is somewhat of a cook, he's really good at making flan...but this flan came out with a weird hole in it...but it was good nonetheless.

My mom made apple crisp.

Here's what you all really wanna see, fit pics.

Front.

Side.

Back.

[vamks]

Great pictures man! Glad you had a good one.

[milanestar]

Good dinner and I like your jeans turn out great.

[greasypeanut]

hey all, i need some ideas for 2 diff repairs.

my wallet is just about to break thru my back pocket, all thats left is the green cloth and a few white (warp,weft ionno) fibers. how do i go about repairing this without unstitching the whole back pocket?

second is that big stitch part right below the back middle belt loop where like 4 pieces of denim gets stitched to one. seems that sitting on grip tape has worn thru the stitching and it seems like its going to come apart soon. is my only option is to take it to some place that has a sewing machine that and can pierce thru that thick part of denim?

[Dioxic]

Great update Panda!

Greasypeanut for the first you could just get a piece of denim and sew it on the inside of your pocket, right? As for the second if I understand you correctly if you have the ability to do so just tightly/closely stitch over it with a machine and it should keep it together.

As for my jeans I spilled paint all along the right side of my jeans so time for their first wash.

[greasypeanut]

hmm i guess i will try. it seems really hard to get a needle in the back pocket, or rather to guide it while its in the back pocket. ....or maybe its not that hard (i just stuck my hand in my back pocket hahaha).

as for teh 2nd one...i dont think a normal machine can go through that super thick part :-\

[who8mahrice]

Pocket repairs are a pain by hand. I've done it before - it's really cumbersome weaving it back and forth since you need to have a hand in the pocket.

As for the back part below the loop - you're probably talking about the yoke? Yea, there's no way a regular sewing machine can go through that much. Regular machines have trouble stitching through two layers of denim already. The needle will just break so I wouldn't attempt it yourself.

[randomkoreandude]

thinking of selling my size 27's ... never get a chance to wear them. if anyone is interested pm me

[OG_M3]

so kinda bored today. this is my update with wash included after working on my car on turkey break.

pics of the jeans after working on my car. dirty as hell.

need to repair this as it took the brunt of my ass when i was on the floor mounting my oil cooler.

the said car: 1985 Corolla

The business end:

[OG_M3]

after washing the jeans:

[vamks]

Woahhhh, funky colors! It's got that whole neon-blue-glow thing going on, I like.

[cure]

look pretty grimey before the wash. hand wash or machine?

[OG_M3]

yeah, its interesting how the colors compare with the other pairs on here.

look pretty grimey before the wash. hand wash or machine?

1 hr hot/warm soak with detergent in bathtub with agitation. then 30min cold soak to get the soap off. hung dry overnight.

[Wilkes]

Hey, if anyone's interested, I'm selling these in the supermarket, brand new in a 33" waist and 34.5" inseam. Never got around to them and I've got too many on tap anyway. SE is sold out at this and sizes close to it, so!
