@olblue the wife and I were just talking about this very thing. I can’t imagine finding judges is easy for Bryan so I don’t really blame him but I think I would prefer judges who have properly faded denim and are as passionate as we are.
All that being said I’m really happy for Scott he’s a cool dude and my UHR brother. I basically just tried to keep up with him the whole time.

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

I vote we just have Ruedi Karrer be the sole judge of the entire thing.

was he not already one of the judges of the ROW group?

@olblue Thank you pal really means a lot to have your support and each of you on the forum I know @kasi always has my back ..

It’s a tough one to get my head around, what these judges were actually looking at it definitely wasn’t the pairs of hard core faders.

Obviously I’ve messaged Bryan saying how disappointed I am with the results I know it’s out of his hands , his reply :

Some of the judges saw the fades the same way you do. Others didn’t. I’ve said it before, I think you’re one of the very best at the style of fading that’s my particular favourite.
But the judging is an aggregate of different passions and perspectives.

Looks like can’t please everyone , I’ve had some kind support on instagram from one of the very best to fade denim who shares the same passion and turns it into Art that person would make a perfect judge Adam Welch .

Ruedi not so much he likes all sorts of evolution even if it’s not the most natural, sand scrubs etc

So if I had to recommend a judge I would go for Adam ..

[Kasi]

Yeah definitely Adam he a master fader to

Need come back on Forum

[Oaktavia]

I was talking with Adam about this last night as a matter of fact. I think he would be the best judge for this sort of thing. His careful consideration of being able to see things how they are and past all the BS would be unmatched.

@Alex

I know what happen. Back with Adam unbanned him now if there is a chance

He ain’t no Jeff

[Davids_denim]

@Alex i think he was last year maybe, he’s not this year.

[Davids_denim]

Who was adding bleach to their washing schedule?

[olblue]

Big congrats to my boys who made that 10, I definitely saw some of you higher…but regardless of the judging yall are my champs @Jcaz6996 @32oz_denim @denim-dawg cheers boys

[Davids_denim]

@olblue always gonna be upset people at the end of a competition. Sorry you didn’t crack the top 10 man yours were definitely one of my favs.

[Oaktavia]

@olblue your pair should have been in the top 10 at the least. Judging failed this competition.

[olblue]

@Oaktavia @Davids_denim man in all honesty I’m stoked to make that 16. That’s a big deal for me. Last year getting 4th in the rally was unreal. My first year was top 100, this year top 50…made that goal I’m pumped to be up there with fade legends…and I get the support from fade legends like yourselves…and in that regard I smashed my personal best. But thank ye, ain’t got nothing but love for yall

[olblue]

@Davids_denim you smashed it my friend damn fine pair. Guess the wind wasn’t blowing our way

[Kasi]

@Davids_denim

I know you’re a master fader.
Would you enter the competition? Seeing the experts judges don't know their arse from their elbow

One word for Bryan is full time JOKE.

[olblue]

well boys I think I found my pair for next year…I think they’ll create “true vintage” fades
