Cultizm LVC Contest (photos only thread)

[setterman]

Jeans are looking great guys! I've enjoyed wearing my my 66s, 37s, and Warehouse the past two weeks, but seeing these photos is making me antsy to get my 55s back from the repair shop!

[xander]

This month update.

Nothing change too much.But seem like second soak the pair fade faster.

[fellini_esque]

Hey doods, it's been a while for me without a camera...just picked something up and can now get back to some documentation.

detailed pics soon, lvc 67 @ 17 months

[setterman]

Got my 55s back from Schaeffers today. Three weeks with no wear, so I got some catching up to do. Here's the pictures of the repairs. They went a little heavier duty than I expected, but I don't have to worry about the crotch from here on out! Only complaint is the repairs show up a little more than I'd like on the front part of the thighs, but that was probably unavoidable. Nice thing is the seat repair seems to have take a little of the bagginess outta the ass.

[aho]

^I might have to second that sentiment....Can we get full shots?

[king*stink]

Setterman them 55s are insane

[setterman]

Thanks for the comments and rep guys! Much appreciated! Took a couple quick photos before work today. Lighting makes it tough to photograph these things with my little point and shoot. Photos from the other day were take inside my office under fluorescent lights and a little sunlight. First one below was taken on my front porch with the rising sun, second two on the back porch in the shade. None of them captures what my eyes were seeing. In real life the non worn areas looked darker and almost purple in the shade.

Nice thing about a one man business in a small office? When you don't like the pix you posted on superdenim you can lock the door, draw the shades, and take a couple more. Color is pretty true, just wish I was producing a sharper image. Too wobbly I guess.

they are so good setterman. very classy...

[jewellben]

I think LVC should bring out some "Setterman Wash 1955" for their SS/2012 range.

[rayw44]

I can't rep you, but I will as soon as I can. They keep looking better Setterman.

This contest is starting to look like a three way race at this point!

[TallyHo]

setterman, i gotta spread. the photos in your repair post are stunning.

next time, try photographing them outside when it's overcast in the middle of the day. spreads the light better - no shadows.

regardless, that's a terrific pair of jeans!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and photo advice (I'm terrible at taking photos and need all the help I can get!). As for a three way race, other than one pair I'm not feeling, I think everyone is in the fight. I wouldn't want to be judging this thing in the end, because I think there's going to be at least seven or eight really strong pairs to consider.

"Setterman Wash 1955" huh? Ha! I like it!

[josh mullen]

I've posted this before, but given the recent activity here, I'll do so again: those 55s are the best LVC's I've seen.

And setterman, I'd love to hear which pair you aren't feeling...

No can do. Feel it wouldn't be appropriate to mention anyone by name publicly or privately.

Probably shouldn't have even mentioned it.

We're all putting in good work and need to encourage and root each other on.

Would be interesting to hear what Levis thinks of the results so far. Would be neat to see Cultizm and Levis get together at the end and use the three winning pair in some sort of professionally photographed advertising.

That would be very cool. But I think Cultizm, more than Levis, would be apt to do it.

Levis response would be probably be "What's LVC?!"

Yeah, I think that's accurate! Haha

+ rep, they look real nice.

[habitzzz]

Here's a random shot of my '47s from this past weekend. Will try to make an effort to take some more detailed photos in the near future.

Those look amazing. How many times, and when did you wash these?

[Reggie Died]

Anyone have any suggestions/ideas on how to repair or prevent pocket rips? I get them in all my jeans, but my 37's are horrible. I also just got a pair of PBJ's and wanted to pre-emptively re-enforce them.

[jyoni]

^ An ounce of prevention, Reggie Died. I've touched up the pockets on my 1944 at the slightest sign, and they've held up well while the rest of the jean falls apart. A good fix for the perimeter stitching is to interweave the repair with the old thread. The original thread around the edge of the pocket seems to fail as a complete thread rather than breaking, if that makes sense. You can loop and lock a repair around it, and save it before it breaks.

[Stratos]

How does that happen? I've never had a pocket rip. Jeans are looking good though!

[SLAB]

setterman, your pair of 55's look amazing!

lots of other nice pairs as well , 37's look like actual vintage

[habitzzz]

I've washed mine probably six times....maybe 7. In year one I washed them quarterly, and I was going to do monthly washes in year two but that hasn't really happened so far.
