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

[TallyHo]

just to clarify - i definitely do not mean we should have both options to choose from (major logistical headache). i just meant if hidden rivets are possible, we could have a single poll to decide if the contest pair would have hidden or exposed rivets.

[marvelous1200]

Seeing how 24 people voted for rivet #1, the most destructive rivet, and 68 people voted for rivet #2, thats 92 people that are excited about exposed rivets...thats a lot of people who aren't concerned with problems exposed rivets may or may not cause and don't have a problem with the decision. plus you guys are acting like rivet 2 is gonna be like rivet 1, they're not even close.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

nah...they voted just for the rivets. and those rivets are not meant to be only on the backpockets but also on coinpocket and the like

[undcvrsm]

If only there would be a crotch rivet......

[chambo2008]

there is gonna be right?

[mr.invincible]

^ evisu's have crotch rivets. it's like a nipple. on my balls.

might i add it's quite stimulating when youre rubbing it.

[undcvrsm]

there is gonna be right?

There won't be but it's not a make or break for me, i'm in.

IMO the exposed rivets are gonna look great on the jeans. Just give it a chance. I mean if you have an Eames chair or sthg then of coz you don't want it scratched, but I personally just sit on regular chairs

might i add it's quite stimulating when youre rubbing it

Yeh like a -

Anyways I think would give the jeans a more vintage-y look, but oh well

[mr.invincible]

^ if you're not sitting in an eames chair, you're not sitting in a chair

-Yeah, if you could call that "living"..."

I'm happy with my Herman Miller Mirra TYVM. Although obv a computer chair is different. But still it sure is a chair!

haha i knew that, is the denim gonna have nipple's like the s0500?

[arem]

I just don't like the exposed rivets for the same reason I don't like cinch-backs, it looks too rustic and old-timey to me. That look is fine if you are doing a completely rustic, old-timey pair of jeans from top to bottom, but I thought the original idea for these was to have a more modern styled jean, just with LHT denim. As it is it's a mish-mash of things I like and things I don't, so I'll probably sit it out, which is disappointing, but these details just don't suit the way I dress.

[Pi-tol]

^ How do you dress buddy? And honestly I don't think a couple of copper rivets is going to fuck up you style, but to each its own.

[skistar]

I personally think rivet 1 would look best exposed (but no, I don't sit on overly expensive things or care) but I'm not too overly concerned about which way we go with the details since it's all samurai and great... I am however pretty damn excited about my first LHT denim!

[itschrisb]

I really think a lot of people are jumping the gun here with the whole rivet thing. Like Aho said wait for the prototype to come out then decide if you wanna hate on them. I doubt it's going to ruin anyones style of dressing. The cut is a modern cut with just a few classic details. I think the cut is alittle more important that exposed rivets.

I think it's gunna look cool and can't wait till the release. I hope it's as early as possible but wouldn't mind If it was right towards the end of summer.

Are the arcs going to be black or yellow? That's the only thing I wasn't sure on?

[dr.house]

Sry, don't wanna read the whole thread Is there only the wrangler like patch or also a regular leather patch on the jean?

[renegade309]

I really don't know what all the hate is about, not all of the details I wanted got in either, but they are still gonna be some great unique denim and I'm psyched. besides, if you don't like 'em, then you get to keep $300 bucks and spend it on something else...

[sinjo]

Sry, don't wanna read the whole thread Is there only the wrangler like patch or also a regular leather patch on the jean?

Like almost all jeans a patch on the waistband at the right.

And a wrangler style patch on the backpocket.

I was thinking:

What about a tab on the coinpocket? That is more unique and you won't fuck up the backpockets too much with a patch + tab.

[mr.invincible]

^ eternal has tabs on their coin pocket.

im interested in seeing if prototypes can be made with the top 2 back pockets. the ones with the wranglers and the other leez

[sinjo]

Like I said.

[amardeep]

never really understood the point of coinpocket tabs

on my 811s i just pulled it off and sewed it to the back pocket

since there aren't contrast arcs, backpkt tab wont look off.

[aho]

It looks like red tab on the backpocket is going to be problematic from a legal standpoint anyway according to Gordon....We are currently going back and forth with some ideas, I asked him about maybe just including it unsewn (I think this is the best course of action) but maybe we'll think of another place to put it (ie: coinpocket etc.). Still waiting on word from Samurai right now though...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they also have a white tab. they did that for another collab. maybe that would work?!

[mr.invincible]

^ if there is no crotch rivet, then it will be replace with a red tab.

levis cant mess with our cajones.

[geneticdrifter]

i'm down for the tab sent unsewn.

can we get a bag made for the jeans out of a different pocket liner? like one to store the jeans in. b/c if i wear these for a year straight, they are gonna see the shelf for a while afterwards.

PEACE

[Pi-tol]

Should have know the tab was going to be a problem!

That white tab sounds interesting thou.

Some one got sued....

[aho]

Yeah, the addition for the red tab in the polls was all my own doing but I figured we'd be able to work something out, especially since arcs wouldn't have been a problem....In any event it's always nice to have that option (even if unsewn) so it wasn't a waste to vote on it really in my opinion....

And I'm still waiting on word from Samurai...shouldn't be too much longer now!

[mpcec]

Yeah I think the unsewn option is a great idea, I figured it was worth posting up though just to give a heads up to people who might not know.
