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

[Alex3000]

tear off the pockets sew on upside down.

problem solved imo.

Funny, I'll figure something out to where I can sew the arcs in the pocket bags.

Well I hope the back pocket rivets are hidden or I'll be hammering mine already scratched my seats in my car enough, and some how I'll still get my hidden Jin arcs.

Agreed!! If there is anything i dont like about this contest, it's the exposed rivets... I dont see any functionality with exposed rivets other than causing preventable damage.

maybe we should have a poll concerning the leather tags and rivets on the backpockets.

I have a feeling a lot of people are turned off with the exposed rivets.

Yeah but the exposed rivets we chose are a pretty much flat profile, I don't think they will do any damage, now rivet #1 on the other hand would eat stuff up, but #2 is gonna be pretty chill i think.

I'm considering dropping out because of the exposed rivets unfortunately...

It was the only thing that could prevent me. GAAAAAAWD

Could we do the ones near the center hidden and the ones near the exterior exposed? Kinda like Paul Smiths x BiG?

There's alotttttttttttt of talk and hating on the exposed rivets (which more than half voted on) and the jeans haven't even been made yet, let alone an actual prototype shown! I say let's save all our final opinions until then....Just sayin'....

Any chance the we could a holo samurai tab while keeping the upside down A? I believe I've seen it on a few pairs of 710s but without the upside down A.....

From what I've seen, it's more of a functionality issue than appearance.

Also we're a bunch of sore losers

word.

and have you guys failed to notice that the polls are closed and options have been decided? asking for modifications at this stage is futile. Also where were all you people in the original thread? do you always come in late and try to "monday morning quarterback"?

PEACE

I'm interested in seeing how many people actually commit to buying these things. With all the rounds of polling, only a small percentage of the participants are truly satisfied by the final outcome. As with a few others, the exposed rivets are a dealbreaker for me.

^ this is the true problem with letting the forum create the jeans. people get so caught up in their votes, and whether their choices "win" or "lose," that they are no longer able to just appreciate the jeans for what they are. i told aho early on that he should not leave everything to a vote, but he wanted to take the democratic approach, and i respect that. if this final product of a jean was presented to us as a samurai release, i know that my jaw would hit the floor.

i was (one of) the first to request a hidden rivet option on the wrangler pockets, but it's really not that big of a deal. i have a pair of jeans with exposed, levis style rivets, and i will never buy a pair with them again. however, these rivets (#2, poll winner) are flat and will NOT ruin furniture or cause any other problems. anyone who's hung up about them for aesthetic reasons will certainly change their tune once the final product is shown or once they see some broken in pairs down the line.

aho - just as a point for discussion, and because a fair number of people seem to feel this way, it might be worthwhile to ask gordon again about the possibility of hidden rivets (with all else the same). i really think it would require very minor modifications from samurai to make this happen. if it's possible, one last poll of "hidden" vs "exposed" rivets might be just what this contest needs to satisfy all the fence-sitters.... on the other hand, if you're over that, so be it. i'm in for sure.

[aho]

TallyHo, while I do understand the validity of having an exposed rivet and hidden rivet option, I'm not so sure how much I want to go that route...I believe that the contest should be concise and with one definitive pair...I'll have to meditate on this though if it really does become a huge problem. On the other hand, I wouldn't even mind if it was less than 50 contestants...The original Samurai contest was and that turned out well (presuming we have a few dedicated participants!). As for now, I'll let the jeans speak for themselves. When the prototype pair is shown I'm sure people will change their minds, and really, for all those complaining about the exposed rivets (which wouldn't damage as much as say, rivet #1), wouldn't it be nice to go with something different for a change?
