Cultizm LVC Contest

[davety]

there's no word over on mynudies, either.

They were just empty boxes, the actual lottery prize was the LVC Suitcase in the middle. We haven't sent it to him yet as he's been having trouble with his account and not receiving my PM's. He's emailed me though, will send it out once we get his address ;-)

mmm I've been slacking with update pictures....This loose fit is making these babies hard to fade although I don't think my knees will last another two months at this rate...Pictures up when I can...

[aho]

lol yup I'm still slacking on pics...but I'm going on a ski trip this weekend and plan to wear my 37's underneath the snow gear...should make for interesting pictures and painful rivet bruises should I fall on the ass...

[joelz]

I've worn my 67s through 2 weekend trips that involved a shit-ton of walking (San Francisco and Chicago) - I'll try and gather some pictres to post over the next couple days

[Headmut]

My 67's have VERY faint fading on the wallet pocket, that's it. The creases are coming but there is no colour difference. I wear them like 4-5 days of the week, though for the most part just in an office....I've got to do some drastic living if I expect to be a contender in this contest. I'll post pics (cause it's mandatory) in the coming days.

[LC_Miey]

^^ from what i gathered, i always thought lvc in general fades slowly?

my 47 fades not apparent too...side thighs and knees plus the usual ass fades from bailing riding my bike but thats bout it

good to see everyone back up posting..its almost 3 months now. evo pics should be interesting

I feel like my 47's are fading quite fast actually. I think it's a combination of soaking them really well initially and going true to size. They were pretty brutal at first in the waist but have stretched out perfectly now. I'd say I wear them 5 days a week, and they are the only jeans I've been wearing since December 1....

[jyoni]

These '44s are starting to break nicely. Still, I would say they have been really tough to reach early results. Wish I'd soaked instead of washed. I think a nice contrast will be hard-won, and the hue is really, really blueish.

As far as activity, I've been doing my own staining and varnishing for a few days. Man I am paranoid about sloshing that crap on my jeans. I might switch up for a bit while I'm ahead...before disaster strikes.

[joelz]

Ignore the preposterous poses...

About 3 months now

[Medine]

@dr. house, your pair is fading really fast, they look good!

@joelz, yours look more like I would expect after 3 months, but still looks good..

everyone keep it up!

[dr.house]

^ Yeah, really fast fadings. Thanks medine. Today I wear my SDA203's the first time and I'm absolutely sure that they're made from the same denim like the 47's. Can anyone confirm this?

[Headmut]

I think part of my minimal fading is due to a few reasons.

-Generally I'm just not a sweaty dude. It's the dead of the winter here, so even outside doing whatever I'm not really going to break sweat, especially not in the legs. It's a fact that sweat accelerates the breakdown of the denim fibres, so our sweaty/southern friends have a one up.

-I wear my jeans everyday, but I also sit in an office chair 8 hours a day (unfortunately), which may get a bit of wear on the seat but that is it.

-I didn't soak mine. I feel like soaking denim makes it more "susceptible" to surroundings, as if that protective denim "sheen" is some sort of barrier.

Anyway, I've been trying to wear the hell out of them (naturally), I'm looking forward to the coming spring/summer to get em really outside and nasty.

[Backwasher]

is it still too late to join this contest?

All I have to do is buy a pair from cultizm, take a photo with a newspaper and I'm fine? (Yeah I realize I'm 3 months behind but pfft w/e)

[Headmut]

yeah, additional contestants officially closed awhile ago

[aho]

2 month update 1937 worn fairly every day...if not outside, then around the house when I get home...

Not the best pictures but I wanted to throw stuff up as I said before...Don't mind the picture overload...As you can see though, very subtle fading going on for now except in the knees.1

[aho]

This next picture highlights the "sheen" that is apparent on certain angles for this 1937 denim

Rivets not poking through yet!

That's it for now...I'll try to get in action shots in the next few days...

[jyoni]

1944 fit pics and update (3 months). This is laboring steeze. Got a wee moose knuckle cooking, but as you can see I am a lunk, and these are not entirely what I'd call a full cut.

[Medine]

the back of the legs is looking cool, i never seen creases like that.

[jyoni]

Thanks Medine! Hope those creases stay put...

[Medine]

well it looks like they already starting fading there, so you should have interesting pair when theyre nice & worn

[Medine]

@runormal, get some better pics up cuz those are looking good, but they look like they got 6mo. wear on em'

Yeah those are crap photos, almost didn't want to use them. Will take some pictures this weekend with the same camera I used for the Feb updates over the weekend which I thought was a good one and captured the colors and fades accurately. To give you an idea the concrete the jeans are laying on is dark concrete - not the light grey the photos show and the tag is washed out can't even see the details, and so on. Honestly I wish they looked that good, but they'll need lots more wear and time....

So I suck and can't link pictures properly, but I posted these in the photo page.

What the hell have you been doing in those things, digging wells? They look great!

[LC_Miey]

i guess everybody been staying low digging wells and knocking down buildings in their lvcs..

[Headmut]

what the hell!? i dont even want to post mine anymore....it looks like ive been wearing them a day if those are only 3 months.

[Reggie Died]

About 2 weeks worth of baseboards, a week of laminate flooring and one shed. The first two months they saw limited wear because I sized them wrong (a bit too baggy, i'll post fit pics sometime), so they were hanging on my wall till I decided to bite the bullet and use them as work pants.

The irony is that I DID have to dig a huge retaining wall, but whenever I have to do anything extremely dirty or outside in the rain, I go to my truck and change into my Carthartt's. Yes, I get teased by co-workers.

These 37's, much like my 55's, are very slow to fade. Most of the creases on my pair are exagerate from the dirt/sand/drywall dust still lingering on them.

Heres my three month-ish update. there was a hand wash this month, had to do it. x posted from photo only thread

[Medine]

Reggie, for that beltloop just look and see if you can tell where the old stitching was and just go over it with the machine a couple times, should be a five minute fix..

everyone else, dont worry about his pair, theyre just dirty, if they got washed they wouldnt look that far ahead, so everyone stay in it!
