Setting those cuffs...

@Cents-or-Non-Cents haha. that’s awesome. I remember Sidney Lo and Beatle selling them hard. My first pair of IH’s…shortly followed by a pair of 634s. I rotated between those two pairs for years. Back then I remember IH known for anything but being stubborn faders. Everyone wearing APc and Nudie. If you were in Whistler for a weekend in summer 2010, and saw a fool wearing tight black jeans on A line, doing drops on shit he not qualified to do…that was me

That hilarious! I ended up selling mine to markmont a few years later, despite the 07 being my absolute best fitting jean, because even in winter, I would sweat up a storm in them. I cannot imagine how in summer you were MTBing in them! Fun fact, I created the ALINE logo 20 years ago and they still use it to this day. I actually have a new idea for revamp so I might draw it up and send it to them but damn, I wish I did a royalty for that, I have seen so many people around the world wearing the ALINE hat. Did Freight Train and a few others too. Whistler MTB Park is just flat out amazing!

@Boit that’s crazy! I bought them when they dropped and I lived in Whistler at the time too!

I have the 633S-142 in 36. Wearing them today to figure out what I may get. Seems like going up one size (38) would yield essentially same measurements. I'm looking at going a little more spacious so thinking about the 633OD in 40.

@seawolf I think that's the margaritas mate?

SEXI04 = Dior Homme 19cm Imperial (was the first jeans that got me into raw denim)

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.

To be honest, it's a disservice to the IH forum. Sounds like a bitter kindergartener who didn't get a participation award. And now you are harassing people? No wonder they blocked you! Do I think the top three/10/20 were worthy? Not fully, I have opinions, and they don't align fully with the judges and the voters. But that's the thing with opinions: everyone has one. People complaining about the way it was judged? Only those who competed voted; from there, it was just the judges. Seems like the fairest way to me. I don't think there were deals under the table only to choose certain people. A popularity contest would only show who has the most friends or brand-loyal aficionados. I for one, would have liked to have seen Evan at number one, his Warehouse jeans look amazing. Just by finishing, everyone did a good job.

@Brian said in Indigo invitational Y4:

I understand that adding a bit of bleach when washing isn’t against the rules but jeez if that isn’t gaining a massive advantage
Might aswell just ask everyone to buy a pair of stone washed and be done with it

Who was adding bleach to their washing schedule?

@Kasi How do you mean?

I have been thinking about this during this competition, but a competition of this size with so many different brands doesn't really make any sense to me now. Over at SuFu, we are doing a competition at the end of the year: one brand, choose your cut using the same denim, and just ~25 of us. That way, you see how the same denim fades across various fits and lifestyles. They have an 18-month duration, so there is no stress about "having" to wear them every day all day.

8 months in, 12 washes...

About 8 washes now...

Finally got around to a photo.

I'm a ~36" waist and was on the fence about 35 (-1) or 36 (TTS). I'm went for the 36 and glad I did. The fabric feels fairly rigid and less forgiving, and I think the measurements don't show how slim overall they feel. In a good way, though.

5 months in for me on the SEXI26-ST...

Day 152/366 EOM5 update for SEXI26-ST

I've been waiting for the restock for some time, so I got myself a 36 today. I hope I get them before the weekend here in Los Angeles.

Day 60/366

There's the desk job people...and then there's the labor intensive job people. You gonna be in the top 10 again, I see!
