@goosehd said in Indigo invitational Y4:

I don’t really think that harassing the judges and Bryan is something that is going to help anyone in the long run. I know that there are some bad feelings out there, but really can’t condone this as a means of expressing those feelings.

I often think that if the results and rules are something you don’t like, do something about it in a positive and meaningful way. Volunteer to be a judge the next time around and ask for or make suggestions to make future competitions more fair for those entering. It only helps everyone involved and looks better on us as individuals and as a community.

Very much agree with that.

Damn Carryology collabs, always tempting.

@GraemeE I have just ordered a pair, just waiting for them to get shipped

IMHO Bryan has a really tough job. Not perfect, however, glad we have a denim advocate and contest like the indigo invitational. This group here really knocked it out of the park and should be proud. If Judging, Old Blue had my vote for #1

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.

Just realized I never posted my 1 year update here

Stylistically looks like a riff on 30s-40s A-1?

The patch does look a little crooked.
