Cultizm LVC Contest

[[email protected]]

Will try to find out if a special order is possible

[LC_Miey]

No probs

I've added the new participants and Dec 1st as start date.

Do people want to go on for 18 months or 24 months?

18 months should be sweet..eventhough I dont mind 24 months myself cause I can always wear straight 18 months and put them into rotation for another 6 months

Im in for the contest

[Medine]

i want a size 34 or 36 on a 55 ' help me joe?

you want to be in on this too?? you got your hands in everything man

[edmond]

you want to be in on this too?? you got your hands in everything man

yes sir i want in on it

[giantsdrink]

Joe - Count my vote for 18 months.

Ed - Great news, glad to hear you want in on this too,

[edmond]

of course! but someone has got to supply me a 55 in a 36 pls

[jyoni]

18 months works for me. 24 months would give an extra cold season with em (ie more and harder wear), but oh well.

You're right... winter wear is nice, and 24 months would be a nice even length. Also, LVCs are pretty tough - 24 months might be just enough time.

As well, the people who win this contest after 2 years of work will really deserve the solid prizes.

Change my vote from 18 months to 24 months plz joe.

[slurrpee]

damn. i'm in as long as i can figure out a model to get.

i have athletic thighs but below my knee it gets slim.

anyone have any ideas on what type of Levi's would be comparable to a SE05BSP fit?

[dr.house]

18 months are perfect imo.

[LC_Miey]

^^ the most modern slim cut on LVCs is 67 505, if you size down appropriately and manage the shrinkage on the waist you can get a cut relative to se05bsp but not exactly the same.

another LVC on the slim side is 66 501 but Cultizm is out of stock unless you wear size 38..

[joebot]

24 months sounds good to me

[[email protected]]

1954 are rather slim too slurrpee.

[JSFU]

54 is dry clean only though, right? shit, no more 66......

[LC_Miey]

exactly. would be primo if we can special order 66....

[unknownpleasures]

i'd join if you manage to get the 1954 501z in a 30 (or whatever shrinks to a 30 , 31-32?)

The 67 505 sounds interesting too but from the pictures, it looks like the 54 501z are slimmer.

[aho]

hmmm...I did a very bad thing...

...and I don't even feel guilty about it wahahaha! I must say, these are pretty impressive jeans so if you're on the fence about getting them just do it!

Post soak measurements for sz 31 1947 (555 model):

waist 30 in.

front 11

back 13.5

thigh 11.5

knee 8.75

leg open 8

inseam 35.6-.75ish

Now don't freak out! I plan on buying another pair before the contest starts and will be wearing them, not these...the December 1st deadline was just too much for me although the pair I use for the contest might be a '67 505 or '37 or '54 model depending on sizing situation come late November.

[dr.house]

^Haha, now you know you're addicted...

How much did they shrink waist- and inseamwise (don't wanna search the whole thread, for sure you've had posted presoak measurements somewhere). Btw, whatabout those plastic bags?

@joe: I've read that it's best way for the 505's to size down one or two. Will there be other sizes restocked?

[aho]

They shrunk about an inch in the waist (maybe two but I stretched it back out) and a little more than 2 and half inches in the inseam...The plastic bags are just some weights submerged in water to keep the jeans from floating...Anyways I'll have some pre and post soak pics later tonight if I get a chance!

[dr.house]

^Thanks. Anyway, there is no 47 in my size anymore...

@ Joe: will there be a restock til Decemeber?

[[email protected]]

What is your size?

[dr.house]

What is your size?

32/34 POST soak for those 47's. I couldn't decide between 47's or 67's...

[[email protected]]

^ The 36/36 may work for you? 34/36 may shrink too much after a few hot washes? The 34/36 may shrink too much, but if you like that pair, it will be available with our next restock.

Edmond the 1955 are only available for restock in Jan 2010.

unknown pleasures the 1954 waist size measures 1 size smaller than it's tag size. Ie size 33/36 measures 32/36, so I'd recommend you get the 33/36.

Joe

[xander]

Will pay this week.Finally I go with 1954 501Z.

[jyoni]

Nice, xander!

Is there any way we could let people enter late with '55s? It seems like simply bad luck beyond anyone's control, that they aren't available right now. I don't know how it would run at the end of the contest...it would be hard to wait for them to finish theirs.

[aho]

Hmmm...I might be down for some '55's as well...as far as the whole contest thing, if we do 18 months anyway I'm sure late comers will always be welcome, including anyone who buys in January...

[giantsdrink]

In theory, I'd be fine with allowing people who wanted to buy 1955s, to join in January when Cultizm gets the re-stock. I'd like to see as many fits as possible be represented, and this would add another to the roster.

However, this has to be up to Joe, who needs committment from us for the contest. Maybe, we allow participants to enter the contest with '55s if they place a pre-order? That allows committment both ways - contestants get a guaranteed spot, and Cultizm gets the guaranteed order.

Just a thought.

[Medine]

sounds good to me, although ppl joining with 55's with be out 2 months of wear, but i guess judging could wait for them, or maybe just wair 1 month to judge

[tigerformula]

How much can i size down on the 1947 501s? I'm looking for a new standardish sort of fit. Seems like the 1967 505 will be too slim. What about the 1954 505s? I don't want a super high rise though. Anything that has a medium 10" rise?

[Reggie Died]

Damn, I wish I held out for the 55's.....

I'll probably soak my 37's when the contest starts, and if I'm not completely sold I'll stuff them in a closet for the next year and pick up some 55's and be a month behind everyone else.
