2010 Samurai 17oz. LHT - The Poll Thread (Now with Joe McCoy's poll!)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think this contest is an appropriate excuse

what do you need more?

Let's wait and see how many reply to this thread and then I might open up a new thread and talk to Yuichi if he's willing at all

[Alex3000]

Ok so one leg is LHT and the other is RHT?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that's what we all assume but I would be happy if a native speaker would assure that

[Max Power]

^that would explain the difficulties we had figuring out what it is. That would be one hell of an interesting pair then, I'd like to know if there would be a noticable difference in terms of fading and comfort...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah...one more reason for a contest

[aho]

lol b_F I'm glad that you took up the reigns for this contest! I can still talk to Gordon to see if Samurai would be down for anything or we could go the Yuichi route. My main concern is the price as I know I can't afford any pairs over $300 right now (lol) so hopefully we can get a steal (call me cheap...)

BTW, the two legs on that model are right and twill and left hand twill respectively...

[lance]

bf - wish you luck getting it going.

aho - still sorry yours didn't happen; denim and details made for great jeans!

[Knugget]

i'm interested. been wanting new jeans for a while...

[mitchL]

then samurais is out of the question since i think it's unreasonable to sell them lower than 300

id still be in for a sam lht but sorry bf ; im not really feeling that model you are suggesting: id rather go with their jin range, the fit pictures ive seen looked great and already have the 0500 model

[beautiful_FrEaK]

ok...I think it was worth a try as the pair was similar to the vted pair.

I'll get one for myself nevertheless

[lance]

Last word from aho, I think, was possible/maybe by end of year. It's gettng close so how about it, aho? Want to contact Gordon/Samurai to see if we can make it fly? I think there is still enough interest to make it worth the effort for a Jin 0500 Samurai contest.

[Bomull]

I would be down for a left hand twill samurai!

Would however like both legs to be lht. I think it´s weird having one leg of each altough the difference probably would be cool.

[undcvrsm]

I'm in man, I'm in.

The model is interesting. So the left side is lht and the right RHT?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

it's surely not everyones cup of tea to have a mixture of RHT and LHT on one pair but it's something unique. but also a pure LHT is something Sufu hasn't seen so far.

about the price. I don't know how some expect the price to be below 300$. The Eternals went for 254$ but a pair of Eternal costs 19,740 Yen whereas Samurai's standard pairs start at 24,990 Yen.

and if we would go the S500JX-LR route, the price is already fixed.

so everyone who's interested in the S500JX-LR may pm me and I see if it's enough interest for a small and private contest. and I could deal with Yuichi if we may get a nice price or gift or whatever. or at least I organize the supplier

[Max Power]

^looks like you got it done, b_f. Kudos for that

[pat!!]

damn that LHT and RHT on one pair sounds so damn interesting!

[kit99bar]

PM'd you BF, I'm in for the 500 contest. Let's try to get 10 guys or so

[Pi-tol]

Dam I want to be in this too, but I'm in the Enternal contest.

When would this start?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

we would start with the start of the next year
