2010 Samurai LHT Contest Interest Check

[itschrisb]

No 710 please! The 0500 is the perfect cut for a contest, it works for all different people. Maybe something that will work even better is two variations of the 0500, one with a more extreme taper, maybe .25 less in the hem, and one that is .25 more in hem. Then you have a slim, fitted jean with a smaller leg opening, and the average mid-high rise slim-ish straight jean. You wouldn't have to worry about different applications of details and stuff if you keep essentially the same silhouette.

This sounds perfect. Let's get this thing going.

I agree that the 710 should be taken off the list and it should be between the 0110xj, 0500, and the 510.

No hate, but isn't the whole purpose of a poll to vote on which ones should be removed from the list?

[pragmatics]

I'm also against the idea of a 710. It seems that a lot of interested people want a more fuller cut, and every new contest seems to go against the idea of a slim fit cut.

It seems every contest there is a vocal group who want a full cut jean, and yet, look what ended up happening with the Fullcount contest. A full cut contest, even if there seems to be a lot of support for it in the discussion leading up to it, just doesn't get enough actual orders when the majority of this website prefers a slimmer cut.

If you want proof look at BiG's 0105C page versus 1108C---almost every size is still available in the 0105C.

Thanks for the votes everyone...still waiting out for more, so until we get to a certain point, we'll worry about hardware/detailing later...

Looking at a possible mid 2010 release if we can get this thing going by the end of the month! Of course this all depends on Samurai.

But as beautiful_FrEaK said, lets just worry about the cut for now!

[azn8oi]

huh? 0500s again? That was pretty much one of sufu's first contests, played out between Nov. 1, 2006 - Nov. 1, 2007.

2 years later you guys want to do it again? Choose a different jean.

[rOeLez]

^^

Agree , still voted for 710 and hope they can make the hidden arc just like in 710bk

[deminslut]

maybe there should be 2 variations of the cut like the fullcount contest. one a slimmer cut and the other a fuller cut to cater for everyone. but end of the day, the same LHT denim!

I don't know why the 0105C didn't sell, but the LVC contest seems pretty evenly distributed between the slimmer 47 and 67 cuts and looser stuff like the 33 and 37s. While I don't think a full cut contest has enough draw on it's own, I think the last few contests have done it right by offering contestants the choice between a slimmer and fuller cut. At least there's some variety then. The prospect of another slim fit contest sounds boring as shit to me (and I have nothing against slim fits, I'm more than stocked up on slim jeans already).

Can we take the 710 off the poll? It sounds like we're really trying to make it so that anyone who wants can participate, so shouldn't that cut have been ruled out in the first place?

Personally I'd love a pair of slim samurais but it'd be more productive if those 710 votes went elsewhere so we could figure out what we're ACTUALLY doing

[chambo2008]

what does it matter the s0500 is winning just go with that, with some tastey lht denim

[davidschlott]

I'm down with the s0500 or the s5000

Either would be cool.

[Guest sneekylyric078]

I'd be down if this contest should happen s0500 seems to be the choice of many. Personally I've been looking to get a pair of LHT Denim and a pair of Samurai's, kill two birds with one stone.

[JoyDiffusion]

s0110xj FTW!

s5000vx would be cool too...

[selaviso]

i like how its supposed to be a lht contest, but they are all losing in the poll haha. or are we just talking about models then ultimately at the end its going to be lht?

LHT 710s would be nice....

[SLAB]

SD-103 all the way; already had a Samurai contest, SDA doenst get enough love and denim is perfect for a 2 year contest period

[mr.invincible]

omg...i already have the s0500. so does chambo. lol

i voted for sda-103 btw.

lets get the eternals started already./

^ and I agree with slab. Samurais doesn't need 2 years~~~ some of you harddickriders fade them jawnz in 4 months.

[tvshooter]

*twittling thumbs* waiting. . . SDA 103 LHT?? S0500XX LHT? i still think a Momo contest would be cool. whatever LHT RHT Fuck Hand Twill, i'll be waiting to win this contest. . .

[lmaozedong]

The prospect of another slim fit contest sounds boring as shit to me (and I have nothing against slim fits, I'm more than stocked up on slim jeans already).

like the fullcount , warehouse, and self edge x dry bones x superfuture contests, all of which are ranging from straight to a fuller fit? if anything i feel like there have been fewer slim fit contests as of late..

[itschrisb]

Right now it's between the 710,0500, and 5000 we can always just do a top four poll after this and the most votes wins. Maybe other people will end up re-voting and choosing something else. I don't think anyone should be elimanated obviously be are okay with it if it's in the top 3 you know. Plus no ones asking to elimanate a fuller cut. It's just the style a lot of people are becoming more and more drawn to a nice well fitted slim style Jean over a fuller baggier straight cut.

How long are we letting the poll run for?

[chambo2008]

whatever gets the nod as long as its lht i don't care i would rather slim...

[Pi-tol]

If we can get 50 to 100 people to order @ $300 a pop, then we can get/ command whatever the fuck we want! What company is going to pass that up:D

Oh and also for those that dont know Samurai **HAS A LHT LEVIS VERSION ITS CALLED THE 526 XXII and it has a cinch back** take a look.

[edmond]

300 a pop?? no way il pay 200 max shipped! if we are aorund a 100 people

[Wolfteeth]

Skull 5010 cut, yellow stitching, white selvage, darkest indigo dye possible.

[mr.invincible]

300 a pop?? no way il pay 200 max shipped! if we are aorund a 100 people

i agree~~ if i have to pay around $300, im going to stock on the 21oz s5000vx.

Skull 5010 cut, yellow stitching, white selvage, darkest indigo dye possible.

no.

[Pi-tol]

Yall get the fucking idea! As long as we can get the people, then we can call the shots on WHAT WE WANT

[edmond]

still i wont be shelling out 300 for a custom samurai unless they put my avatar face on their patch!

[mad_dye]

How about a poll for the patch design? I vote for a design with ed's face on it...

[aho]

Personally, I think it'd be highway robbery to charge $300+ if there are 100 contestants but hopefully this won't be the case!

I'll wait about a day or so to finalize the cut but it's looking like S0500 might be it!

pi$tol thanks for the fit pics...

Everyone, feel free to starting thinking up more ideas for patches and other details...lol samurai ed...

[edmond]

samurai limitED-ition

i want a s500xx cut in 30oz denim!
