Could be a lot worse. We could have done a Dsquared2 contest:

that's what the watch pocket is for.

[Madder_Lake]

Those both look great lc_miey and mdngnd. Really terrific, both pairs. One interesting thing is that my rivets on my 55's have turned almost black. Some here have done the same whereas others still look like copper. Weird.

2 years gone! Great pair of pants that saw most of their wear working in wineries. Put them through 2.5 vintages in two hemispheres.

Fresh from a hot wash the pictures show how the jeans are looking, how they fit, and how much they are patched up in the inside. I havn't been wearing them too much in the last few months as I can't keep the repairs up. I hope with a little more love and casual wear I can keep them around another 2 years.

Love the variety between all of the final pictures that are up- its been fun tracking the changes in multiple pairs. Hope you enjoy.

Nice denim, everyone! This was the first one of these that I participated in and it has been really fun to be a part of...

[mechanical pencil]

Nice denim, All! Fun to be a part of this...

[mechanical pencil]

Mmm, pics look larger than I wanted, sorry. Damn technology...

[mechanical pencil]

Denim looks great, all!

Fun to be a part of this.

Gonna try to post these pics a bit smaller here...

[dr.house]

Today is deadline...not that much contestants left.

[rayw44]

I haven't been wearing these much and I don't have time to give them a wash and take newer pictures so these will have to be my final pics. I'm impressed with everyone who has posted so far, and this cone denim really looks great at every stage of wear.

I'm a few months behind, but these have been worn close to full time for around 18 months.

As always I procrastinated on taking pictures till the last day, but got really sick yesterday so these are the best I can come up with.

God I can't stand d squared.

[Medine]

[wgmds]

did you wash those about once a month or so?

[Medine]

Yea, something like that

[Reggie Died]

I love how every jean in this thread is so drastically different. Alot of high contrast fades aswell as a lot of daily washers. Judging should be hard.

[jewellben]

Some cracking pairs to be judged. Well done all.

[joelz]

At my count, there are 13 finalists, right? Sort of sad considering how things started, but what can you do. Looking forward to hearing back from joe et al!

[dr.house]

Yeah, only a few guys left, too bad.

[setterman]

Anyone heard anything from cultizm? They said they'd have the judging done by the end of the year. I shot them an email earlier this week asking if they knew when and where we should watch for the results at, but never heard anything back. I imagine with all the sales they've been running over the holiday, they've probably been pretty busy selling jeans...

13 left of 54 starters. Sad.

13 left of 54 starters. Sad.

Six or seven never even registered once they had their jeans. There's a good 25 to 30 names on that list I don't recognize, so they probably didn't post anything other than their initial pix. Pretty sad. I think most of the people who joined the contest did it just to get the free shipping.

[rayw44]

I think so too, but at least we had some contestants who really tried and continued to update. overall i think this contest had some nice results even if it wasn't a very eventful contest like the roy one.

[jewellben]

Maybe 2 years was too long

[aho]

I'd say it was pretty successful given all the factors...Those who were dedicated really showed us the true potential of LVC denim...Of course there are gonna be the free riders and drop outs (myself included) but the pairs that are being showcased are real beauties...Thanks for the participation everyone!

[jyoni]

It was a fun experience. I don't think I would ever push a pair of jeans this far without the contest atmosphere. It was interesting to see all the stages of wearing them down.

[dr.house]

So true guys...but what about the results?

[Maynard Friedman]

I think the results speak for themselves.
