2010 Samurai LHT Contest Interest Check

[Flash]

i dont think the jin denim has a slim fit there all either straight or relaxed

[mad_dye]

It'll be awesome if the jins are going to be Wrangler repros like Casper's...

[dcg]

Next time you guys are at BiG, ask Gordon to show you the faded LHT Sammies he's got in the back. They're freaking amazing. If you're not crazy about the pics of faded Samurai LHT denim you've seen, those will change your mind.

ive allways loved the wrangler jins but the rise was pretty low

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the Lee Jins are all regular cuts and are still produced and the Wrangler Jin was just one run, right?

[sixsixtie]

Casper's wranglers are the only faded lht I've ever seen.

[Alex3000]

I'm stoked to see Gordon considering this since I had emailed him about this during the summer. Its good that he may consider working with samurai on this.

im allmost sure the wrangler jins were a special for 2007

[chantheman]

Come to think of it, if Eternal could recycle their old pattern for the Eternal x Bears cut, how amazing would that be?

ive been looking for this pair for years

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the Jins already have a crotch rivet (except the S0120XJ)

but we better set it in stone before dreaming

[kino]

im in!.....although i prefer no crotch rivet ><

[ssheat]

I'm in either way because all of the jeans mentioned are truly unique and great.

But, I do feel, as iamstarwars said, that other brands should be considered in favor of samurai. Samurai is pretty well known and attractive to users, but I think that a contest would draw parallels to the original, and also, so many people already own samurai. There's so many other brands out there that are under-appreciated here that promise to work well for a contest. Maybe the eternal contest could be pushed forward by a little bit, and if possible, maybe we could throw in a bit of a cut change, and new and more interesting stylistic details and features? Besides that option, if you would really want to be specific to Blue in Green, SDA LHT would also be a great option, as would PBJ or Oni. But, I guess the first two are the best options. I don't think that having two BiG contests at the same time would be great, so I guess one of samurai LHT or eternal should be chosen for 2010.

[mr.invincible]

ONI's and PBJ would be killer. Sugar Canes would be awesome. Eternal and Samurais would be cool.

all i hope is that we get to design the patch.

[JackofHearts]

Im more than down to do this. Have been wanting some LHTs for a while and just picked up some 811s. So if my vote counts at all I vote for this contest instead of Eternals.

[tvshooter]

all sounds good to me. my two cents- momo's or sda's would be nice.

[chambo2008]

snap, what shooter said

[itschrisb]

Id be in if the cut ends up being a slim cut. When exactly is this planned to take place early, mid, or late 2010?

[soonami]

I paid for a pair of 710's yesterday, but they sold the last one in the store before the website updated so I missed out on them. So a Sammie contest would kill two birds with one stone.

LHT would be very attractive to me. However, eternal contest would be fine just as long as they aren't the 811. I like the idea of a contest having a lesser known brand like Warehouse or JB or a truly unique concept *hint buckleback on a slim fit*

[cure]

would be interested depending on the cut of the jean and the price

[weinfeld]

I was just thinking about picking up a pair of LHTs. I had been eying the Samurais, but SDA's would be out of this world.

[itschrisb]

I also do agree that a less known brand would be cool to do. Its cool to see something besides all the top brands all the time.

YES! I want this! No slim fit.

[itschrisb]

Hidden arcs and im in for sure

[cld33]

I also like the cinch back idea. Let's do this.

[Pi-tol]

I say start it in 2011, by then alot of the other contest will be done and we'll have more people on board that will participate. Remember the more people the more customize the Jeans can be + a deeper discount!

[Alex3000]

I still like the idea of using samurai's jin denim sure we've all seen samurai but there's maybe 3-4 pairs of jins on this board. something different from a brand we all know. on a side note maybe we can use sterling silver hardware like on the yamato models, a cinch back would be great.

[Goldfish]

I'm so in if we can avoid a slim fit...

Yeah, as popular as Samurai is there really aren't many people wearing the Jin models. I'd love to see a contest for once that isn't using a model that's Levi's based. The Samurai Leepros are a great choice for that imo.

Currently working on my 0110XJ every day for the past 2 months.
