lol come on guys...as I said, I'm waiting on the photos from Gordon which will detail all of our options....When I do receive them, I will start a new thread/new polls to make it official but until then lets all just be patient!

[morse9443]

I'm in aho's contest and I'm going to kick all of your asses

[kino]

lol come on guys...as I said, I'm waiting on the photos from Gordon which will detail all of our options....When I do receive them, I will start a new thread/new polls to make it official but until then lets all just be patient!

i appreciate all of your efforts aho!

[PandaDenim]

Haha, I'm 150% down for this aho.

Saving money for it now.

[weinfeld]

Word. Aho, your work is appreciated, and I'm still so down for this contest.

[aho]

Appreciate the support everyone, it shouldn't be too long now...

[yanansi]

count me in

[technicolor]

Yes I am in for this contest as well. Back when the details of the Black Knight were being wrapped up I approached Gordon about a LHT contest.

Glad to see the time is approaching!

And 0500 cut all the way. Not enough done in this fabulously flattering cut.

[soonami]

oh BTW, random thought, let's please make this just a 1 year contest...

[aho]

^One year indeed!

[ssheat]

If logistically everything works out (things would have to go speedily and smootly), July 4th, 2010 technical start until July 4th, 2011 technical end is perfect - especially if we're doing the americana frankenstein jean in terms of details that we previously mentioned.

[Goldfish]

That timing is perfect for me.

[aho]

I know you're all getting restless so here's a little preview of some of our option while I wait on the other photos from Gordon. Unfortunately, it seems (for cost and so things don't get too complicated/endlessly debated over) we are better off just choosing one pocket style and arc design instead of mixing and matching (ex: black jin arcs on levis style pocket, etc.) according to Gordon. I agree with this and hope you all don't mind. Being able to customize is one thing, but the goal is to get these jeans ASAP without having to sort through the endless options we have....If this means simplifying things so that we can save on time and cost, I'm all for it!

Keep in mind this is just a preview, and in no means, our final options! I will create a new thread when the time comes in which we can have multiple polls to decide on each detail (still working on that with the honorable Cotton Duck)...

Now, the preview pics!

(We will be able to vote on denim...this is the Jin 17oz)

We will also be voting on pocket shape and arcs (keep in mind we can also vote to have the regular, standard "samurai arcs" as well as hidden arcs)

Our options for buttons

As well as rivets

[aho]

lol I can't wait to vote for cinchback Can't decide if I like pocket 2, 3, or 4 despite wanting a Levi's one at first...Leaning to #4 for the black arcs, but might be overkill with leather tag on pocket, cinch, and custom patch...

Hope you don't mind this nem, we love your bum:

[Medine]

I love that wrangler-style rear pocket (#4). I would have to be a part this if that pocket is chosen. its too perfect to pass up

[Solix]

Yea, I like that pocket too, followed by the modified Jin arcs (#3), Jin arcs, then the hidden/w/e arcs. Basically backwards.

The 6th donut button is absolute FIYAH #1 for rivets, cinch back, kthx.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thanks aho!

My vote would pocket #2 or #3

button #3 or #4

and rivets #2

and no cinchback!!!

but let's wait till we make the new threads for all the options

[Atzec]

i´m also a fan of the #4 pockets. the simplicity is just great. those with the contrast #2 arcs would be WOW.

don´t care about a cinch. if we´ll get one i´ll just have to cut it.

btw i just noticed this small difference in the stitching on the pockets:

my s710xx has the same "crossover"-stitching, while all my other jeans (denime, eternal, sc, pbj) don´t have it. is this a detail specific to wrangler?

[TheIntelligentHoodwinker]

Is it too late to get involved? Been toying with getting some Jins for a minute now and my interest has officially been piqued...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

no it's not too late. nothing besides the cut has been decided yet.

about the backpockets Atzec. only my 710 have this. my 5000 and 0500 don't have this detail. strange

[TheIntelligentHoodwinker]

OK, cool!

0500 or 710 for me. Pocket 4. I like any of the buttons and rivets. I'd opt for no cinch back though... Overkill for me.

[hysteric]

Pocket 2 or 4 would be nice...as long as they are not spaced super far apart like lee's usually are.

[weinfeld]

#4 pockets with yellow arcs and #6 buttons would be so great. And I was really hoping that the cinchback would get thrown in. I'm getting excited about these again...

[stewiegriffin]

i'd say

710 cut,

pocket #1 + hidden standard arcs

button #4

rivet #3

no cinch.

does it sounds like the regular 710 19oz??
