2010 Samurai LHT Contest Interest Check

[Hendodo]

so what have we decided, aho??

[aho]

^So far just the cut, and (as of now) the 17oz LHT denim...

[JoyDiffusion]

This is interesting... waiting to see how things progress.

I may have missed it in the last few pages, but apart from the s0500 cut, was there a consensus on details? I say Lee>>Levis>Wrangler. What are the next steps?

[stewiegriffin]

shit, just voted lht 710..............

[edmond]

17oz lht? are you guys boring or not? jeez man stop using the lht we should do the 24 oz denim rht or lht watever.

this will differentiate the boys from men

[Alex3000]

It's going to be a lht contest no matter what Ed...

[acidline]

How the fuck does 24 oz differentiate boys from men? Seriously, a 17 oz LHT contest is gonna be alot more interesting than 24ozrht. Goodluck getting a bunch of people interested in 24 oz too, shit's over the top.

[Dioxic]

I agree with ed on this one....at least 19 oz, but preferably 21 or 24.

[Atzec]

from the very beginning Aho said, that he wants to put up a 17oz lht contest, so why is there any discussion.

if you guys want a 24oz contest you´re in the wrong thread.

[PandaDenim]

I'm kind of lost as to exactly what's going on here...too many suggestions

wtf ? yeah if your really not a pussy youd wear 24 oz on a summer and dont whine around thats its going to be too hot or this or that.. but watever..

[beatle]

samurais 17 oz lht is tough as nails...making it 24 oz is like a sex addict on viagra...overkill

[dawei69]

wtf ? yeah if your really not a pussy youd wear 24 oz on a summer and dont whine around thats its going to be too hot or this or that.. but watever..

oh man... i really wish u r right ed.... but from where i come from... 24oz is really a bit too much for summer... esp the ppl in australia... they have 45 degree celcius summers..

this will differentiate the boys from men

speaking of differentiating the boys from the men, one the reasons i wear denim is for sex appeal, do girls even care if it's 24oz? am I gonna get a blowjob when i see a hot girl and say "hey look these are 24oz samurai!! I'm wearing armour, I'm a real man!"

[kino]

lol today was 40 degrees in melbourne....pretty sure i melted a little in my shorts....

[Goldfish]

I know I will be out if we do 24oz and i bet a lot of other people will too. Stop trying to change the main idea of the contest. You will just end up with many fewer people and much more expensive jeans.

Hahaha. But seriously, I agree. One of the reasons why I love the idea of a 17oz is the thought that I could wear it during both winter and summer.

[edmond]

fine! why cant we all just do a 15oz lht texas cotton contest huh? 17oz in samurai is so an hour ago!

[opethrapture]

Cause that's already been done!

[edmond]

lht 15 oz texas cotton? contest? i dont think so

[7-eleven]

15 oz lht texas cotton would be SO dope. that gets my vote.

[Hendodo]

Well we've got to have something wearable for everyone ( although id prefer a heavier denim ), so aho's 17oz LHT sounds pretty legit

[undcvrsm]

15oz texas cotton lht like s526xx II? Sweet!

[Stacks]

wtf ? yeah if your really not a pussy youd wear 24 oz on a summer and dont whine around thats its going to be too hot or this or that.. but watever..

start a 24oz lht contest, seriously. If that video was really showing 24oz lht denim, no point in using the already released 24oz rht.

It would be smaller contest due to the price, but people who got the money to drop will be able to pay the premiums associated with real customization.

17oz is cool, but I prefer unexplored territory...

[ssheat]

LHT texas cotton was mentioned, but kind of shot down by Gordon.

I was thinking about this for a bit, and kind of figured that it would not be really feasible to go with a samurai jean with tons of details. The best contests have (at least up until this point) been done with relatively cheap jeans that suit a bunch of people in cut and promise to have a good solid fade after a year of wear. The LHT promises to fade well, but what the problem will be is the price, especially if you want to go with interesting details. With so much disagreement, it doesn't seem like there will be enough people to have the final word on price. I think eternal would be perfect because of the low price point and how they suit so man people. Although I don't want the 710, maybe it would be best cut to attract people and get the LHT contest going. If its not going to be a contest that is not meant to attract the greatest number of participants and just to create a great pair of jeans, we have to go all out with details. It would be really fantastic if samurai could offer some sort of sample a long way before the contest actually starts.

5000vx, texas cotton, 21oz, lht, indigo warp & grey weft....or

indigo WARP

GREEN TEA weft DYE

AND OF COURSE, silver sword selvage..

screen printed pockets bags.

ok, its decided. don't argue. lets do it.

[Knugget]

this thread is so messy and out of hand.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

just because people don't read but rather post what's on their mind without thinking

[evisu 2000]

We could do two cuts thing. like the fullcount one.

so some of us aren't left out

yes please

[sixsixtie]

Orange peel patch sounds sick imo.

[y7bbb6]

Since everybody blatantly ignores what Aho posted, I feel that I have to contribute too:

Indian cotton, 8oz, no-hand twill, indigo overdyed in black overdyed in orange overdyed in indigo warp, ecru weft, blue/orange striped selvedge, orange wool pocket bags and lined back pockets. Orange painted steel rivets. Patch should be made out of orange skin.

And I would like Samurai to have these produced by 45RPM, under the brand name "Orange". As for the cut, I don't care.

Price shouldn't exceed $70, because that's all I have right now.

What do you think? That sounds just as reasonnable as what others have proposed so far.

dis is epic

Have some respect for aho, people.

Ed, yea i'm new to sufu and yea you're a huge contributor but you're acting like a child.
