Indigo invitational Y4

@Cents-or-Non-Cents 100% agreed!

For me personally, this is the ultimate fade look. James, well done sir!
Balanced. Contrasted but still natural. The darkest spots are dark but don’t look completely unfaded. The darks still present a beautiful blue color. I also really appreciate how the thigh fades continue around to the side of the leg. It looks like you’ve actually lived life in these.
I hope to get mine looking like this some day; although it will take me longer than a year!

This whole conversation just reinforces why I can’t stand contests. All the fades are great! They’re evidence of a life lived in denim. The benefit of the invitational is it cause folks to focus on a single pair which really produces stunning results, quickly. Other than that, judgements of the “best” will always be subjective, and labeling people winners (making some into losers), just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Congrats to all of you who competed. You’ve really made some lovely jeans. Now onto the next fade project, eh?

I hear what you’re saying, but men will never not make something into a contest. It’s baked into our DNA.

@Denimhead-0 appreciated brother

And to be fair, I'm bitter too! Didn't finish but not by my own accord. Got involved in a hit-and-run on my motorcycle on the highway at the beginning of November and split my jeans near in half. Been at SELA for repairs for two months so wasn't able to get any photos in to "finish." You win some, you lose some.

Yo, I just skimmed the results. Top to bottom, these are some fantastic pairs. 4 out of top 10 went to IH wearers including #1. I wouldn’t have figured this to be so much a controversy outside of reading this thread…on this board. I’ve had my head in other forums in the the past…and some here might be surprised there are lots of opinions of denim outside of IH…which is my favorite brand no doubt. Not sure what is being gained here from harassing the organizers and discrediting the judges and other competitors.

Got to pick my showcase last night with my 9th place decided to go with showcase no. 5
Which included, a pair of Jeans , a denim jacket and a shirt .But I thought there’s nothing that really catches my eye and all I wear is IH so I’ve decided to give it back to Bryan where he give to to a deserving fader .
Hope they like there prize ..

@Brian Bryan did mention it in the email some winners have given 1 of there prizes back into the prize pool which is a kind gesture, I decided there’s nothing I really want and hopefully someone else can benefit and appreciate a pair of jeans or a jacket even a shirt …
