i think the fade thread there was an unofficial 'community started' contest. i hadn't seen any official word from gustin about their fade contest sine the week of the promotion. i know others were wondering what had happened to that contest as well...rules, progress, etc. i'd be surprised if it actually comes together and they award someone the prize money...seems like there would be a lot of disgruntled customers...especially from those that bought jeans from that campaign before they said people with older pairs could participate. I was speaking of the unofficial community fade contest that was for 23s and 26ers. Ahh...my mistake. I'm not sure if the member that had started the thread and collected the list of 'Participants' made it over here.

I just noticed the Gustin community forums are gone. Including our thread about the beast fade contest. Does that mean the contest is gone? Is everyone from that thread here on this community? Well I finally made it over hear not sure about the rest of them

Are you referring to their sponsored thread on SF? yes. Mostly referring to the attitude of "why aren't you responding to me about my concerns?!" sense. I think Gustin has just decided that they won't respond to concerns that aren't emailed directly to them -- which I guess I can't blame them for. Damage control never really seemed to help on their own community page, either.

Since the G forum died (and killed the fade contest) I kind of lost the motivation to tug on the beasts everyday. I've been wearing my loomies every day for the last two weeks and they are just so amazingly comfortable.
But I picked up the beasts today and see that I had some really nice fades going. I think it's time to put them back in the rotation. Well, tomorrow. It's 45 degrees in Boston and I am wearing shorts today. Because I can!

I've got on my papi tshirt (and my New Orleans Saints hat to keep true to my roots). I did switch into my beasts to do some work on my motorcycle. I'm really enjoying wearing them today. I'm really noticing the fades after switching from pristine loomies

Please tell me you didn't drive down straight on some meth induced bike ride? I did leave from Boston. The warm weather early in the week was a blessing and a curse. The melt off refrozen Wednesday night, but all I had to do was get to the pike. The interstates were fine Left at 5:15am and got to Jacksonville at 12:30am. No meth was involved. Just as well I didn't bring the beasts. Too warm and muggy, even if the ocean is cold

Bottle up some of that warm air and bring it back. You'll make a mint!

Got the BEAST back on tonite. Thought I was going to give up on them, but just can't do it. For sure I'm looking forward to when it's to warm and I can put them away for a few months. I like wearing them if I don't have to do a lot of bending. The waist band just doesn't give/flex. There plenty stretched, just not forgiving. I'll beat the BEAST yet! It'll take a few years though. Got the Japanese 17oz coming soon (I'm getting tired of breaking in jeans, these may be my last ones)
