Cultizm LVC Contest

[giantsdrink]

wanted to post a quick fit pick of the 1967 505 32x36

Those look really good! Smooth transition from slim fitting jeans into a 'roomier' pair.

.

[Medine]

ummm those are still a slim fit haha

[Chipper]

67 is my contest jean and they are definitely slim fit.

[Medine]

slim fit is different in the sufu world.

[NoobyBeast]

How different are they =0

[dr.house]

[LC_Miey]

[runormal]

Thanks! I believe they are preshrunk so I prob won't soak them. Are other 1967 505 people soaking theirs??

Yeah these should be a good transition pair for sure. I'm glad I went with this pair based on your picks, they are really cool jeans.

ummm those are still a slim fit haha

haha yeah I know these are still slim - I've been wearing really slim cuts lately so these actually feel roomier but in general these are def a slim cut jean.

On a quick side note: My father worked for Levis in San Francisco for 28 years or so. One year Levis gave their employees a big book about the 501 jean. The book is pretty cool and on the back cover there is a red tag attached to the book binding. Over Thanksgiving I told him about the contest here and he pulled the book out so I took some photos of it. Here are a few pictures from the book:

Here is the cover:

Back Cover with Red Tab on lower right hand side:

Close Up: btw it is a real double sided tag which I thought was a nice feature!

A page from inside the book:

and one more:

and a Levi's ad that got me in the mood to break in my jeans!

Looking through the book this morning got me psyched for the contest!!!

[davidschlott]

Thought I'd throw up some pre-soak fit pics. Sorry for the slightly blurry pics.

1937 33/36, for reference I'm true 33-33.5 waist

I think I'm going to soak the 67s thn get them hemmed

[giantsdrink]

slim fit is different in the sufu world.

Hence the 'quotes' on roomier

Crazy I know, but my 67's are the first jeans I've worn in three and a half years that aren't skin tight on the thighs.

To the rest of the world they're slim fit. To me, they're 'roomy'.

I guess fit is just a matter of perspective

Why do u need to soak it??? i thought 505s are sanforized...

[runormal]

Yeah the label says they are preshrunk. I plan to just start wearing them, don't plan on soaking them.

Here is the info from the 1967 505s:

[ah_long]

does it have to be print newspaper or internet newspaper?

[joebot]

I was wondering about that too because my university doesn't put out their paper until the afternoon and I want to get on this around midnight :/

Hi guys,

Glad everyone is excited and ready to start =D First of all I have updated the participant list to the best of my knowledge. Please PM me immediately if your name is not there, as it involves participation in the lottery.

The lottery will be drawn tonight and I will post the results. New participants who join and PM me BEFORE midnight Australian Eastern Standard Time will be added to the lottery draw. After midnight AEST, the lottery will be closed to entry.

In a few hours time, I will be posting a link to a website showing the time and date.

I will also post a code word at this time. This will be in a new thread for pictures only, no chatting in the thread. To chat, please quote the pictures and post in this thread.

To take proof pictures of your unworn jeans, please use the Cultizm invoice receipt that you got with the jeans, write your username and the code word in big clear writing. Take proof pictures of the jeans lying next to your computer screen with the time and date displayed, and the A4 paper next to it.

For those who have asked me via PM, you do not have to start on 1st December. You can take your proof pictures later if you are busy but they will still need to be brand new and unsoaked.

Once you have posted proof pictures which are approved, your username on the first page will be bolded and underlined, indicating that you have officially started the contest.

Thanks all and good luck for the lottery.

Cheers

Joe

shit, i think i already recycled the invoice that came with the jeans.

other options for those of us who don't have the original invoice?

[ADDIC]

i threw it away too. didnt know we'd need it.

[aho]

^Exciting times! I'm still holding out for those '55's but I might just give in and go with the '67 505's...hello Kaihara denim...

[joebot]

Awesome thanks Joe. I still have my invoice thank god. I thought I threw it out and I routed around the garbage can looking for it only to find it in my closet after haha

[Reggie Died]

Pretty stoked.

Quick question; if I need to get my jeans hemmed, how long of a soak or how many soaks should I do to get maximum shrinkage out of the inseam?

Also, does anyone use oil on their leather patches? If so, what kind?

[erk]

Alright I Changed my mind and gave in for a pair if 1915s. Last minute decision.

Pretty stoked.

for max shrink I'd give them a 5 min warm hand wash. I'd be concerned with only doing a soak.

But if you are gonna soak I'd do it twice. It makes a big diff. And do it for at least an hour.

I use obenaufs lp on the patch when hot soaking.

Hi guys for those who contacted me about invoices, a print-out of the email receipt would do as well =)

Hi guys,

Take proof pictures of the jeans lying next to your computer screen with the time and date displayed, and the A4 paper next to it.

hey wait a minute- i'm not working from a home computer here, i'm using the uni library (my pc is packed up in storage). i was under the impression that we'd be using a newspaper to verify the time and date? can i do this instead, because i'm not taking photos of a pair of jeans in a public space...:confused:

[Guest sneekylyric078]

the nervous anticipation sets in...for a pair of jeans...the silly things we do

[LC_Miey]

[dr.house]
