denime xx type & 66xx type 2 year contest

[Paul T]

salaami,you are really in need of a camera now, reading your above descriptions!

Paul T,of course not,but IIRC i saw lots of great pics posted by you,but none showed the master in person.i would love to see an appearance of you on Lendos veranda.If that is not on your travelling plans in the near future i offer my balcony to you,that is if you dont mind having it large in Hamburg.

Next time I'm in Germany you're on. know you don't have a big dog like Lendon but I'm always happy posing with kids. Save some Oktoberest for me (how many did you have before that photo? Your eyes look kinda... scary...)

The fantastic pub down my road now has Schönram Dunkel on draught. Pretty bloody good stuff.

[almostnice]

regarding Oktoberfest better ask Atzec,if you ever come to Hamburg i will get you smashfaced anyway.when taking that pic i had exactly 4 half liters of Augustinerbräu+ 1 bottle Paulaner.

it was 3 o clock than,what do you expect?

nevermind...

[salaami]

almostnice's face in that pic is priceless...been at work in a plant that cuts up cigarettes, so now i have to go beat all the tobacco dust out of the jeans.

[amardeep]

the way Paul posts just makes me assume he has a stylin' beard.

do you in fact have this stylin' beard, Paul?

What kind of accusation is that, sir?

I attempted to +rep you for cheekiness but I've handed too much out. No beard, no tache, tho' last night I was pondering a proper Victorian combination and a move to old tweed suits. But then I'd have to find another board to hang out...

ya'll know me, i didn't beat shit outta shit, i gave em a wash. i needed to anyway, cause i was pressed for time last wash so i just threw em in the drier without really rinsing them, so the water was blue as hell when i tossed em in. this equals jeans that have an indigo tinge to the weft and pocket bags. some of it came out, but i like it this way. my macho-cuffs are tinged blue, as well as the selvage. dr. bronners lavender, jeans are fading much faster than expected due to me dragging mad heavy pallets (that marlboro's are shipped on) across the warehouse(no pun) like 50 feet for the past 2 days. no bullshit, now they kinda look like a pair of raws that somebody drunk started to sandpaper, then they got sober and realized they were fucking up so they stopped. i'm saying this because the front of the jeans are fading, but the back is not

[appfaff]

I'm interested in some pics salaami!

[SLAB]

rock those cuffs eddy!

[beatle]

I don't know ...............

[redX]

he should try and sport a more manly pose, legs need to be spread a bit more and bend them knees, this works wonders

[edmond]

really? ill try that the next time. posing for a fit not modeling the body though

[redX]

yeah but the way you are standing doesn't flatter you at all and makes your outfit look silly

no hate man

[dr.house]

resized pics would be helpful

[salaami]

fuck that, i'm digging the macho-cuffs, and the jacket is fire. rock your steez, eddie. i don't pay attention to how other men are standing i just look @ the jeans...

[edmond]

[dr.house]

Lil update:

[salaami]

i think mine are about 5 inches, it's less than 6 cause it's less than half a ruler's length. i read the sad news about denime on mynudies a moment ago. get the good xx denim while it lasts! this makes this contest even more special. let's send hayashi-san off with a bang!

[amardeep]

I talked with the guy at Denime shop.

He said Denime is only continue to make XX, 66XX, and 66.

Other models are discontinued including the jackets.

I talked at Denime shop today, and they will change the factory and denim for XX.

always loved the vintage fade on the xx denim, thats why im in this contest!

wonder where to buy some denime stuff thats on sale now :(

[gardenerfan]

Your baseball jacket is very nice. Sugar Cane or McCoy ?

[edmond]

hi francis!

its the real mccoy!

btw any news on the denime issue???????????

[salaami]

first ima take ya'll on a mini-tour of churchill, my hood(lendo too).

this is shockoe bottom. a block away from this intersection is the farmer's market, which was the main slave market in the south. MANY captives were marched across this intersection on the way to a shitty life...

next is the 1st police precinct. richmond police can eat a dick, they are the most bumbling band of complete numbskulls ever assembled. that's why churchill is a Top 10 murder 'hood here in the US. the door to the precinct is locked, so if you get shot you can't run police for help! you gotta ring the doorbell if you don't bleed out first...

this is the barber-shop where my pops cuts hair. he had just left when i pulled up.

this is davinci's, the neighborhood halal eatery. i love these brothers. they got good,cheap food, and i can brush up on my arabic. i got a chicken-philly steak(w/x-tra) cheese, and wifey got a gyro...

now on to the jeans. this is a quick day 16 update, there is some fading i guess...shitty pics, especially of the patch. i must say i did a much better job than it shows.

good look t5 for the red tab!

[salaami]

this i what i keep in my pockets...my hand-made wallet and my leather repair case. it has 2-tones of BiG thread, and a needle. all i need...the wallet is samurai 19 oz. zero denim.

this is with a borrowed cam, and i don't know how to reduce these huge pics.

[amardeep]

eeee huge pics

cant even see it all on my 25in monitor

[salaami]

i know, my humblest apologies. oh yeah, the jeans are @ 2weeks 2 washes(bronner's). they also get a twice-a-day vacuuming due to working in a cigarette-splitting/shredding warehouse. after a few hours you're covered in tobacco dust, so we gotta wear masks and goggles and shit.

[chambo2008]

nice pic's, use the "vga/email" setting instead of 8mega pixel if that helps, thats what i do

[dr.house]

I'm pretty much surprised to see fades like this on a few weeks old jean...:eek:

[salaami]

amardeep resized the pics, now i gotta figure out how to transfer them here from the pm

i am so inept...
