Cultizm LVC Contest

[Medine]

Got more info:

Cool, thank your for answer.

We are thinking like that.

On One side we need very sohpisticated people like you, which have a Lot of expierence

in breaking in a jeans. On the other side we Need to combine our customers in that too.

We want to achieve with that the best Finishing results for further presentations.

We would like to offer the Jeans for free but therefore we would like them back After the contest.

The contestant will get a New pair for his work for that.

And the winners should get some specials on top, like visiting the brands or anything else, what will be defined from the Labels itsself.

Pls Tell my your ideas. Your idea with the forum guys is awesome too.

Cheers

Dejan

Any thing you guys would look for on a pair of jeans that would get you excited??

Special Cone Fabric?

Natural Indigo?

Slim fit(66 or 54)?

Zipper or Button fly?

Any type of things you look for in the actual workings of the contest?

[rayw44]

I think a special fabric and a set cut would be very cool.

It seems like the 44 55 and 66 would be very popular choices.

Anyone else?

[ThomasK]

I guess some people would get excited over a classic 47 with the right kind of denim (i think we discussed the changes of quality in the lvc thread 2 or 3 weeks ago) and correct details (back pocket shape, arcuates)..or is it just me?

[bod]

I'd do another pair of 66's for this

[rayw44]

Maybe part of the prize package for the top three is that they should get to choose the details for the next contest?

It would limit the input cultizm would have to wade through and as far as I know it's never been done before.

[erk]

this sounds cool. I'd be game.

[Mixture]

interested in a contest whether free or not. doesn't have to be a special deal for me...

im with you on that one, free or not i'd be down for this contest.

[joelz]

i'd .. probably be in for this depending on timing.

[setterman]

when did LVC start doing collaborations or custom jeans?! the contest would be wear a standard model of LVC for X number of months, and then return the jeans to cultizm. they get free advertising, you get a free pair of jeans. good luck to them getting the jeans back at the end of the contest. in the first contest 30 people got the free shipping and then split. how many people would get a free pair of jeans and disappear? "we will define the rules" yeah, 'cuz they stuck to them so closely in the first contest....

[Reggie Died]

If they want worn in jeans I'll send in my contest pair for a new replacement.

[dr.house]

C'mon guys, it's a great idea. It would be a great honour if they would run a contest like this:

• One standard rigid model, maybe 44, 47, 55 or 66 (I'm sure one of those classics would please anyone);
  
• Wear it as hard as you can for one year (I guess a 2 year contest will be too long in a case like this);
  
• The worn in pair must be sent back to Dejan. The best one will be an archieve original for a new prewashed model by LVC (e.g. 1944 "jyoni");
  
• The contestants get a new rigid for their work.
  

Cool or cool?

[jewellben]

I'd be in for this I missed the last contest start - free jeans or not

[BoBSLeDBoB]

This new contest wouldn't be restricted to those who participated in the last one, would it? Because I would totally be up for being part of it.

[Xstan]

What say a discount for participant ?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

more discount on a free pair?

[setterman]

more discount on a free pair?

Free shipping and a $50 store credit!

I can see them giving out 60 pairs of free jeans, and never hearing from 40 to 45 of the people ever again..... ha! People that have never posted on sufu will come out of the woodwork when they see the word "free". xstan is a perfect example, been a member here close to four months, had all of 15 posts, and wants to get in on this thing....

[tropicalbird]

Calling out on somebody is a lil on the harsh side, but I see your point. Especially when a pair of jeans is worth more than a Sufu account.

[dr.house]

That's why they won't sent them to anybody, of course. Any opinions for:

• One standard rigid model, maybe 44, 47, 55 or 66 (I'm sure one of those classics would please anyone);
  
• Wear it as hard as you can for one year (I guess a 2 year contest will be too long in a case like this);
  
• The worn in pair must be sent back to Dejan. The best one will be an archieve original for a new prewashed model by LVC (e.g. 1944 "jyoni");
  
• The contestants get a new rigid for their work.

[smittybat]

If they really want to give a free pair to each contestant they should refund the money AFTER the contestant actually participates and post regularly. It might motivate the participants to actually participate. If you look at almost every contest this happens where six months in, at least half of the original particpants are incognito.

[setterman]

Buy back plan sounds like a good idea. Would put an end to people joining and running, or joining and posting once every five months.

[dr.house]

I guess this won't work. The plan was a contest for decent denimlovers, not for newbies (sorry to say). People who are well known at Sufu or Cultizm, maybe the rest of the contestants from the old contest e.g. And hey, what should happen? If one of the contestants won't send his pair back, he also won't get the chance of any honour (there are at least some guys who are honoured to be part of this game) and of course they won't get a new pair. And yeah, sorry for repeating myself- I like the idea of creating an original that will be reproduced as a predistressed jean by LVC.

Edited February 28, 2012 by dr.house

[rayw44]

I like that idea too dr., but can cultizm make that happen? I think we should do it off the 44.

And invite the contestants from here who posted regularly, and then look for people with genuine interest to fill the remaining spots.

[BoBSLeDBoB]

I guess this won't work.

Because a couple of people who weren't part of the original contest expressed interest? That seems a little melodramatic. I personally was just interested in being a part of a contest, which is why I politely asked if the contest was open to new participants. I don't give a damn about free jeans. After reading through some of the contest threads on here they appear to be a lot of fun and I thought that this could be a chance to be a part of one. I know I'm a new member but we all have to start somewhere don't we?

[dr.house]

I don't want to harm anyone...but what's the difference of paying/ refund or getting a new pair/ not?

I'm sure cultizm will work out a way, but I'm also sure they want moar results than before. anyway, this contest will be hot 4sure.

@rayw44: why shouldn't they?

Edited February 28, 2012 by dr.house

[rayw44]

I just mean can they get Levis to make a specific wash? I just don't know how close they are with levis, how the washed models are chosen, etc, but I think it would be awesome for them to pursue it.

What reward for a contest could be better than that?

And I think your buyback plan is the perect compromise. The jeans are still "free," but you have to participate and send them back for it to be free.

[illumin8em]

.

The "buy back" would be perfect in theory, but who would make the decision as to whether a contestants participation was worthy of a refund/buy back?

Also, the 44 would be great to see worn by many different people, but it seems to be a difficult cut to size properly.

[dr.house]

It wouldn't make any difference if you get a new pair after returning the old ones or get money back and a new pair, but it means more organisation @ cultizm imo.

The prewashed LVC models are made after originals from the archives as far as I know. So my idea is: 'create a new archive original!'

[beautiful_FrEaK]

we get your idea dr.house. but are you sure if cultizm is important enough (they are 'only' a retailer) to influence lvc in doing such a pre-wash? just like rayw44 already said

[dr.house]

...is there a better influence for creating a new pre-wash, important retailer or not?
