Should we make a list of contestants?

By the way @ Jay: Superb man, that you are willing to give store credit to the winner

Jay, are those silk collabos still on track for this year?

This is great, thanks for offering Jay.



oh now you are interested, just sell your soul already. lol


+1

Well I was hoping everyone that was interested would start commenting but apparently everyone disappeared. Since Jay is a sponsor the buy will will either be decreased significantly or removed, I will let you guys know what we decide.

Psh. I only collaborated on the rules, Caltex

I'll put myself in as interested. Just dropped by blue owl and picked up a pair of the BOM003s this Saturday.

 

I believe he said couple weeks into November when my friend asked.

You know what I meant.

and I am picking up construction as my hobby for the next 702 days.

Well, I plan to win this contest


Come out of production this week, should have in store by 2nd week of November.

Ooh, ahead of schedule, and not white weft even

The 702 days for the contest is genius.

 

I have held off my pair of 702s knowing that this contest was in the planning (was only a few wears in when it was first muted).

No more than a dozen light wears in (to be honest i doubt even that many) - so will only allow myself a couple more before election night.  

I snagged a pair of NWT RRL officer chinos of the B&S three weeks ago to keep me happy in the meantime... any excuse to buy will do :)

 

Maybe it would be a good idea for entrants to list some personal stats - kinda geeky

[[you could get silly and have "Like to wear them with ..... " and other silliness]]

 

but the basic format could be

 

 

The Blue Owl 702 day Momotaro "Saturated" Fade Event [ Inaugurated 6th Nov 2012 ] (Click to show)

I thought calling it an "event" kinda took away some of the competitiveness of it (which i personally like).  i would like to see someone with 702 days of really gentle wear &  someone kill theirdenim in 702 days,  someone with no washes or soaks over 702 days, and someone with over a dozen ..... and everything in between - with lots of variation in lifestyle (why i had that listed in the "stats") ... and of course there is no reason that more harsh wear = winner.  so it is just the "rub" of the green (or the indigo more precisely) how everyone's turns out.  it would be a shame to have every pair beat to shit.  as someone said previously the 702 days kinda kills the idea of everyday wear for most sensible people and or people with changing climate (there will, i hope, be glorious exceptions) but many / most wont be anywhere near every day.  That was a really long description of why i typed "event" rather than "competition" .... my apologises.  i am verbose.

 

Ps. 1st class of Jay / Blue Owl to step up to this as a sponsor for a prize.

just to be clear, this pair would qualify for the contest too...yes?

i don't spend much time over here but this looks fun....


EDIT: Also...as unsanforized, how much will these stretch. I'm trying to compare these to my petite standards and would like to be able to size down appropriately given the measurements on blue owl.

Jay wants to play with the big boys.

I don't remember calling it an event, but I might be wrong.


If Argentino says yes they are.

no you didnt, i just meant in the title when i wrote / suggested :"The Blue Owl 702 day Momotaro "Saturated" Fade Event [ Inaugurated 6th Nov 2012 ]"

 

i infered that suggestions for tweaks were fine, whatever is cool.

oh yeah, definitely. I misunderstood, thanks for the recommendations I will let you guys know of the title we decide on.
