denime xx type & 66xx type 2 year contest

[salaami]

hold off on that wash for another week markus, ima sending you some dope soap soon.

funny, my jeans thread popped on the side of the hip too, but it wasn't the stitching's fault, i snagged the fuck out of it on a piece of wood. 5 minute repair job. repaired front left pocket opening, another 5 minutes. wash #12 yesterday(kirk's coco castille soap), hot machine dry. starting to get fades on the sides of the knees from this weeks abuse...

[almostnice]

good to hear from you!

i was starting to worry a bit since you stopped posting some days back.

everything well? hows the shirt coming along?

[gardenerfan]

not sure if Denime ore take5 will take responsebility for this.first we need to know how many pairs are affected.my pair is allright apart from the small repairs i mentioned before,if its not going any further its ok for me.

Atzecs pair is out of order,the pics are enough evidence for a major failure,t5 or denime should replace it without any question incl. shipping.

gardenerfan,if you read this-what is t5 doing about this?

inactivity isnt good advertising but caring for customers is.

Just note this post. Personally I think replacement is impossible. I believe that Take 5 is able to provide repair service. If anyone needs assistance, please pm me.

"After a short discussion with Benny before the Chinese New Year, we suggest that the judgement can be done by the Lightning Magazine. Benny will further explore the possibility of having the judgement by the new management of Denime.

Concerning the prizes, we will inform you asap.

Thanks.

Francis"

2 months / 1 cold wash

[salaami]

i would rather hayashi-san judge.

[almostnice]

wore my 66 couple of hours today- its FC only lately since the finish is near-and the denim felt sooo great compared to the FCs,which feeling after a year lot softer and thinner now.cant wait til 09.march to give them what they are asking for.

[tvshooter]

went messin around with my "new" old camera this afternoon. starting wearing these after i sent the Ooe's off a couple of weeks ago. denim is sooo nice. i'll post more pic's (and maybe movies) down the road!

[dr.house]

After the 3rd wash. Sorry for the crappy pics, they're flashed so the contrast is a bit lower in reality. No rips, no tears, all the threads are well. Crazy leg twist ;-)

[pomata]

great looking jeans guys.

Denime xx rules!

[almostnice]

not bad ,boys,not bad...

but will it be of any use?

i am gonna overtake in the right lane,just wait til 09.march,harharhar (VERY dirty laughing here!)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Denimes are back on track and so I did a little walk through the woods.

The ice was a bit slippery

and resting on a bench in front of a shack

[salaami]

new camera, these are the pics that will be on the t5 forum: natural light, around noon this sunday morning.

66xx contest, 3+ months, 12 washes

testing out the macro. coin pocket is getting the business!

the stitching was coming a bit loose so i reinforced it with BiG thread. the yellow is denime's original reinforcement bartack.

hopefully these will turn out ok. like almost nice said. i need practice. this is a quality camera, so im well on the way to sufu-quality pics.

[opethrapture]

Finally you are doing your jeans justice Salaami. They are coming along nice!

[almostnice]

what a relief,salaami!

the first decent pics ive seen for months,dont hesitate to post more,there is so much i want to see from you: HM kids jeans,Pikebros shirt, Tuff Gong tee etc.

keep them coming!

[salaami]

opeth won the denime contest on mynudies, so props from him means a lot.

markus is a good friend, so his words of encouragement don't mean shit!

i had to buy a car last night(chrysler cirrus, POS), and this camera(for cheap from a fiend) so that took all my postage$$$. so i'll send the package in a day or two. but i do have some samurai evo pics in the evo thread, so up yours.

dr. house's jeans look damn good for a few months. i'm worried...

on another note i e-mailed t5 about the type of cotton denime uses for the xx denim. this is the reply:

Dear Sir,

Nice to see your mail!

I also don’t have the answer as DENIME has not mentioned before.

Best regards,

FUNG

TAKE 5 Company.

i guess the jury is still out on this one. whatever it is, it's primo shit.

[almostnice]

dont worry salaami,i know that postage can be steep,so if its too much right now hold it back.

btw,a bottle of Dr.Bronners would be enough,the other stuff you added might raise the package weight unnecessary,i leave it up to you.

[salaami]

oh no motherfucker, you've sent me a LOT of greatshit, so i'ma do you proper when you get it. i'll put bronner's in, and some extra shit. i love giving suprises even more than getting them. just promise you'll rock the t shirt. you'll love it to be sure.

[almostnice]

allright,than do what a salaami has to do.

the countdown starts now!

[jstavrin]

I'm not even in the contest but this Denime brotherhood is pretty touching.

[ThinFinn]

looking good salaam...but why did you wash them that often already?...

[tvshooter]

^ there are two schools of thought on washing jeans. the first is- don't wash often and try to get massive contrast/fades ect.,. the other is- wash often, don't worry about it, washing is good for the jeans, so fuck it and wear em hard. Salaam is from the latter.

[ThinFinn]

okay thx for explaining...

but cuz this is a two year contest i think these will look (colorwise) like his sammies (if I'm not mistaken?) after a few months of wear and steady washes...

[almostnice]

yeah,and? brings in the diversity.

and salaamis sams are lookin 10 times better than most of the other pairs in the evothread.those are one of the most evolved pairs ive seen here so far.

[dr.house]

A good pair won't get hurt fom washing. Wash when dirty is regular, it's good for the jean, it's part of the progress and it's old school. Old school is good school, right Ale?

[almostnice]

morning,dr.

who do you mean?

is thinfinn pomatas alter ego?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

no (10char)

[ThinFinn]

@markus:
