2010 Samurai LHT Contest Interest Check

[mr.invincible]

^ that is a perfectly cut watermelon.

lets just have a levis vs lee's battle.

Are these going to be restocked at BiG?

Gordon said to me in the next months

Aho, I think if we can get 100 people to do this. Samurai will make the texas cotton LHT for us in whatever weight we want. The key is to let our money talk for us. Honestly we shouldn't step to them until we are 100 strong!I'm talking 100 people money in a paypal account ready to send. BiG can collect the money and when 100 people have paid $200 ($20,000)then the jeans we want are put into production. It can work, we just need the particapation. Let's do it guys!!!

What makes you so sure about that? Was there any guarantee I missed?

We can use every cut we want but the development of a new denim takes more time. It's not just switch the machines between LHT and RHT

[Pi-tol]

Bfreak, how do you know its not that easy! Money talks my dude and I'm pretty fucking sure if the money is there, they'll fucking make it happen. But you do have a point with the development, that may take some time, but we have time for them to do it. Also as far as two cuts, shit if the moneys there, let's do it!The cash is KING in this situation. Money talks bullshit walks.

[edmond]

pistol its not that easy really listen to me unless we are about a 100 at least at the minimum paid for in advance the jeans we want in custom details they wont make it for us , because we will interupt their normal production functions and they dont want that unless we pay in advance and we have to be at least 100 person at the minimum i am not joking ive been thru this.believe me i heard straight from the horse' mouth

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Benny did a Take5-collab with Samurai, right? So you surely know more how this is done than anybody else.

But for now, if I look on all the collabs Samurai did so far, there was never a "new" denim involved. Just what they use regurlarly or was deadstock

[edmond]

yes you are right!

you cannot ask for a " special " denim unless they want to do this for you which happend to other stores in japan like 2nd and del bombers and some other dealers in japan

[beautiful_FrEaK]

you know more about all the collabs Samurai did, I'm sure. But let's take 2nd as an example. Didn't they always use already existing denim for theit collabs? Please prove me wrong

[edmond]

yes existing denim and weight and everything which you can switch as long as its existing or what they have you are right

[beautiful_FrEaK]

so it's most likely we will use the 17oz LHT (which I don't regret)

or did they different LHT before and maybe have some left in stock?

[edmond]

no i dont know about that but im sure we can only choose between

zero denim 17oz 21oz

texas cotton 15oz 21oz

samurai standard denim 15 19 21 24 oz

yamato standard denim 15oz

purple geisha denim 16oz

special ai natural indigo denim 17 oz

musashi denim lht 15 oz

jin denim 17oz lht

black denims zero 15 17 19 oz

some other more but these are the usual ones theres new one coming out i dont have the specs yet

[undcvrsm]

I was going to get the 0110 Jins from T5 but I'll hold off for now...

What about Yamato denim?

I don't understand why people are into 24 oz these days.

Its tough for us In SE Asia.

But I am in for sure regardless of the cut and the denim, all samurai stuff is great.

BTW newbie here, will share some evo pics soon.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

musashi denim lht 15 oz

that was used on the 526xx, right?

so only two different LHT available atm. And that's what we want. A LHT denim contest.

btw: didn't know the texas cotton also came in 21oz

[edmond]

oh sorry texas didnt come in 21oz the s0500 came in 21oz my bad

24 oz people who are dedicated really

[Pi-tol]

Ight, yall made me see the light. Thanks Bfreak & Ed. I had wishful thinking.

[beatle]

guys - with all the extras you want it's almost impossible to get the jeans for 200 bucks..keep in mind there will be shipping and handling from Japan to New York - plus - the Yen is killing it right now...

[Goldfish]

$200 is totally unrealistic. I was expecting to pay closer to $300. You can't get all this custom shit and get a sickly low price...

[Atzec]

:(...but ed said...

!!!

[Hendodo]

what about the zero 21 oz?

anyone got pics?

[sixsixtie]

All the 5000vxs are zero 21oz.

ITs RHT thats not the point of the contest.

click on my name and find more posts by and my samurais are the zero 21oz

[beautiful_FrEaK]

nah...not all the 5000vx are zero 21oz.

mine is 17oz...which is the standard.

to say it again it's a LHT contest...and 200$ is quite absurd. especially talking about the price in general when nothing of the design is set besides the cut

[sixsixtie]

That came out wrong. I didn't mean all 5000vxs are 21oz Zero

I meant all 21oz 5000vx are zero.

[aho]

Just to be clear, I highly doubt these will cost $200...true, if we had a lot more people (100+ ready and willing) and cut down on our customization requests I could see it happening but we just don't have those numbers right now...

Still waiting on Gordon btw...

[geneticdrifter]

this is why our jeans will cost so much.

PEACE

[mpcec]

Pretty sure prices are set two seasons in advance so we got some time. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

[Pi-tol]

Wow, now people are realizing $200 aint going to fly! Aho I hope Gordon hits you with a price so we can calm down the price chatter!

[chambo2008]

it was never gonna be 200, also i'll pay wit pounds

[edmond]

200 or bust boys 24 oz lht or rht watever samurai denim 24 oz rocks

[aho]

I suspect Gordon is busy and I don't blame him...no worries though everyone we'll get this thing going soon...

EDIT: As suspected, Gordon is pretty busy but he let me know we'll have the pictures in a few days!

[aho]

Should've posted this as an actual post instead of editing an older one...but there has been some confusion about the status of the contest. Everything is still going well, we're just waiting for the pictures from Gordon as he is understandably busy...we'll be back up and running shortly!

[geneticdrifter]

people get scared when threads move off the first two pages.

bumps are healthy.

aho, u da man.

when is hanukkah over?

four more nights?

PEACE
