Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread
-
Will they come in a size larger than a medium?
-
Yes, they certainly will
-
The belts will be a maximum of $120 shipped anywhere in the world I suspect, and I am aiming for lower than that. I'm honestly working my arse off to find us the best belt, at the lowest cost, the HWDC merchandise ( like the tees ) has to be an accessible price for everyone.
-
Giles is sourcing a LHT cotton twill, hand woven by monks from Belgistan, using otter bones for the underwear.
-
There should be an adequate number of rhino bones left over after I take the hide for my HWDC boots and the meat for some delicious stirfrys and satays.
-
HWDC belt, current thinking is that it will be specced and priced as follows….
- Choice of black, brown or tan finest quality English Bridle Leather.
- Brass and Masac buckle (Masac is a die cast alloy) with a brushed silver finish, matching the hardware on the MBB's.
- Hand cut and hand made in London.
- Retail price $100 for HWDC contestants, $120 for none contestants.
- Price includes world wide shipping.
Let me know if you want to order, need at least 50 orders.
-
Samples should be with me next week, and pictures will be posted then. I wouldn't expect people to pay without seeing what they are ordering.
-
Can't wait to see the pics of the belt. I'm likely in since I've already sold whats left of my soul to this competition.

Oh, I think I'm going to get a little more of it before we're finished…...
-
Yup, I would think so …...
-
Haha, nice.

No natural version planned? Might still be interested (tan) if the buckles look good.
-
Sorry, there no such thing as natural bridle leather. I can get a natural belt made, but it will be russet rather than bridle leather.
-
I've almost got it sorted, but Otter Bones proving difficult to source in sufficient quantities. Will Unicorn do instead?
great, I may have to sit this one out… I am deathly allergic to unicorn.
-
Will all of this amazing merchandise only be available during the first few weeks/months of the contest? I'm having a hard time convincing my accountant (wife) that multiple purchases are a wise investment all up front. With a 2 year contest looming, my hope is that there will be lots of goodies spaced out along the way.
