Cheers Rafa, looks like the madness will begin again, over the last few months I have had so many enquiries about doing another comp that I decided to start putting the organisation in now. It's a delicate thing as I don't want to shit on the comp thats still running, but I also don't want to be in a disorganised rush in February for the next comp.
As a result, I have decided to canvas some opinions now, get all the feedback I can, and see who wants to be involved at any level. I know we've lost half of the original field from when the first competition started, but I guess thats to be expected, and it has still been very successful and produced some beautifully worn heavy denim.
I'm thinking about this in two ways…
-
I would love to promote this new comp to the extreme, and make it the biggest and best denim comp ever. More participants, better prizes, meet ups, special event weeks etc.... That would truly be something very special, and extremely possible with the level of interest I've had so far.
-
If I can't do it that way, then I might strip it back a little. Make it smaller, more exclusive, and solely compete for the belt.
I must admit that option 1 appeals to me the most, but option 2 also has its own charm.

I like the idea…my interest is perked for sure.
-
I'm not sure how this works, but it sounds like a good excuse to buy a pair. I'm in, too.

BLACKFROSTT reporting for duty…. (sign me up sir!)

Mega, are you going to run this through Superfuture again? It seems to me to be dying on its feet, this forum now has more posts per day than the whole Superdenim forum!
Have we every had a comp on the IH forum, could you do something over here?
Sorry i cant be part of it as I'm in the Ooe Yofukuten comp untill march 2014, if it lasts that long?

IJ - SUFU and its members will only be "here" if it is ok with G and the mod team, and if they are wearing Iron Heart. Anything else would simply be pictures (posted by me),and announcements (made by me). I just wanted too give people here the chance to get involved in something that has been really fun, and quite large in scale, without having to sign up to SUFU. As Iron Heart was by far the most popular competition brand last time it seemed more than logical to involve Iron Hearts most passionate and loyal customers., us.
Simon - SUFU (particularly Superdenim) is perhaps not what it once was, and I believe that much of that is owed to the speed problems caused by the last software upgrade. But trust me when I say that the HWDC attracts more than its share of interest, and the amount of PMs I have had regarding running a second comp makes the idea more than worthwhile for me. Check out the existing thread over there and look at some of the long worn pairs, that alone makes me proud of the contest, and the commitment of its participants.

Looking for a pine/wood/forest/leather/masculine smelling perfume.
Any suggestions that aren't gimmicky or boring?

Sorry, but limiting entry goes against the spirit of a "Heavyweight Championship".

@lucifer - I use Portland General Store's 'Whiskey' aftershave and cologne. Definitely a masculine smell and I think they've got some others that are pretty manly.
@mega - as I said on SuFU, I'm interested. I know there was talk about allowing denim that had a maximum of a month's wear prior to the start of the contest. Are you thinking that this will still be allowed? If I end up having to buy another pair for the contest my 666-XHS are going to spend too much time in the closet.

Same rules as last time, 1 month amnesty stands.
-
sounds like a great time Mega, i'll be cheering on all participants. i am curious to see the rules once details are hammered out to see if it is something i would be able to honestly dedicate time to.
always leery of contests as it sort of goes against my low-key nature ::)

You wanna smell like lumberJack
Every morning, take chainsaw and cut some pinewood with it…wear your Aero and voilá.....
Seriously, can't help you. The little what I use, is CK's be. But that doesn't smell like anything you described.
Hehe, that is what I DO when I'm home in the mountains
working as a lawyer in the big city that is harder to do
