Remember how awesome the late aughts were? President Obama was sworn into office for the first time; Michael Phelps smoked a surprising amount of pot for such a ridiculously fast swimmer; and the world collectively shook with terror over the H1N1 virus, colloquially known as Swine Flu or 'pigfluenza'.
You know what else was awesome about the late 2000s? The advent of the denim contest. Well, time has passed, but the awesomeness of an awesome pair of jeans hasn't gotten any less awesome, and the jeans that WvG just put out are really, totally…awesome. It is thus with great fanfare that we announce:
Here's the deal: We need a minimum of 30 participants to get this thing up and running. The more participants, the better, because the better the prizes will be (more on that in a moment). To join the contest:
If you've already bought the jeans, you're that much closer to winning the contest! Just PM or email Gina (@WvG Support or [email protected], respectively); include the email address tied to your purchase if you're PMing.
For the low, low effort of at least one pic a month (although more pics will work to your advantage), you'll be eligible for the awesome prize of a $350 WvG gift card at the end of 12 months (winner to be determined by WvG staff). But wait, there's more! The more people join the contest, the better the prize gets, up to a $500 WvG gift card if 50 people join. If even more people join, Mauro will do something crazy awesome like a bespoke pair of jeans or something for the winner. Also, the more you participate – more posts, more fits, fades, evo shots, lifestyle pics, &c. – the better your chances of winning. You can also help your chances (and the contest) by posting your pics to Instagram and tagging them with #wolfvsgoat or @wolfvsgoat.
Even more fun with prizes:
Right now you may be thinking "That's all well and good, but I work in an office five days a week and only get to wear jeans on the weekends. How am I to compete with a bunch of denim die-hards that are wearing their jeans every day?"
I'm glad you asked! If there's enough interest – a minimum of 15 people participating – there will also be a second "weekend warrior" category. Just enter "weekend warrior" in the notes box at the checkout screen and include it in the text when you post your pictures. The prize will be a $200 WvG gift card, with something else fun TBD at the six-month mark.
Right now you may also be thinking "I have this weird friend who's always posting selfies, sunsets, and poached eggs on Instagram, but he's not into Styleforum. How can he get in on the action?" I'm glad you asked that, too, hypothetical forum member. Non-SF-ers (including redditors and superfuturians) who don't want to post on SF can just post to Instagram with the tag #wolfvsgoat or @wolfvsgoat and email Gina to let her know they want to be in on the contest (not, like, every time they post on IG; just once to let her know they're in). The contest announcement on IG is here: https://instagram.com/p/2JhHPfAg-j/
tl;dr:

Well, time has passed, but the awesomeness of an awesome pair of jeans hasn't gotten any less awesome, and the jeans that WvG just put out are really, totally…awesome. It is thus with great fanfare that we announce:
The 2015 / 2016 WvG Denim Contest
"Wear 'em like it's 2000-and-late!"
"Wear 'em like it's 2000-and-late!"
Here's the deal: We need a minimum of 30 participants to get this thing up and running. The more participants, the better, because the better the prizes will be (more on that in a moment). To join the contest:
- Buy a pair of these jeans any time before the end of May, using the code "Denim" (easy to remember, right?) at checkout to get them for the ridiculously low price of $78 (plus shipping): http://www.wolfvsgoat.com/products/denim-project-italy
- Post a pic in this thread
- .
- .
- .
- Profit!
(Almost literally, because you'll get a $10 WvG gift card as a thank-you for participating in the contest!)
If you've already bought the jeans, you're that much closer to winning the contest! Just PM or email Gina (@WvG Support or [email protected], respectively); include the email address tied to your purchase if you're PMing.

You can also help your chances (and the contest) by posting your pics to Instagram and tagging them with #wolfvsgoat or @wolfvsgoat.
Even more fun with prizes:
- To keep things lively, Mauro and Gina will also pick winners at the three, six, and nine-month marks, and the prizes will get better at each point.
- They're also going to randomly give away a couple of smaller prizes – think WvG t-shirts, underwear, socks, that kind of thing – each month for high participation rates, cross-posting to Instagram, particularly awesome pics, &c.
- We're also going to have a "people's choice" award at the end where everyone on the forum can vote for a winner, who will get a new pair of jeans.
Right now you may be thinking "That's all well and good, but I work in an office five days a week and only get to wear jeans on the weekends. How am I to compete with a bunch of denim die-hards that are wearing their jeans every day?"

tl;dr:
- You've got a chance to get an awesome pair of jeans at a fantastic price
- You'll get $10 toward a future WvG purchase
- You can very easily win some sweet WvG gear just for participating
- You'll have a shot at one or more crazy-awesome prizes down the road
