Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

Goruck is a sponsor?

Should get all the in shape/work out folks to do a GORUCK CHALLENGE. . . hell even the folks that don't work out as it is all about team work.  that would be some entertaining stuff.

Great job all the behind the curtain folks, this is shaping up rather nicely, now to find the motivation to wear the same denim for 2 years.

*** i am mr. slow&steadyfade, but with this marathon pace i really think everyone has a chance at having a great time on this

MM - what size did you end up pre-ordering in the MBB's? 35?…

[madmonday]

i think i did 36 but i can't recall. i'm scared to death of 25 oz crushed nuts.

part of my motivation to get the bb world tours is to see how the size 34 work & if a 35 would be a realistic option.

*got 36 in BB RAWS & BB SBG & they are really different, SBG feel much fuller

[Finn666]

thanks a lot sir!
I'm a bit drunk ATM and really thinking about pre-ordering these (just because I think one needs to own these)!…
going to check the measurements now...we'll see!

had the IHxB01 in 34 but couldn't do the last two buttons back then...so a 35-36 wouldn't be that bad to go with, IF!

[madmonday]

no drunk ordering.  go hang out with that pretty blond you hang out with.  last  Friday of 2012, i figure you young folks would be partying it up.  i'm sitting here bored while tuesday & my in-laws try to drink all the booZe in my house.

**really think they might have a shot at it

Here's some drunk advice: there is no need to fear the 25oz if you get the right size. Having worn both the 666 and the 666-XHS for a couple of months I can say that the 25oz is totally comfortable if you get the right size. It's heavy, but not painful.

At about 6 weeks in, there will come a moment where you look up and say, 'oh'. That's when you know the break in has started. After that, alles gut.

GORUCK are indeed sponsoring a specially tailored GORUCK challenge for us in San Francisco, scheduled for March/ April 2014. Looks like I might be doing it, so it won't be too hardcore 

MM, you're in the contest right?

[Finn666]

yo Gav, if you find the time…would be nice if you could put up some daylight/outside pics! full front and back pics would be nice...maybe even one from your chocolate side as well!

[Snowy]

@Finn666:

chocolate side as well!

Not sure if I want to understand this Guess we're even after my 'thong' comment

[Seul]

@Megatron1505:

I'm going to have you killed  ::)

Brilliant.

[Finn666]

@Snowy:

ha
the "chocolate side" of someone is his "best side"…should have wrote it like this then!^^
and i would say that you´re still in front with your thong comment mate!

[Snowy]

^Thanks, on both counts

[Megatron1505]

Rafa, it's pissing it down here and blowing a terrible wind, so not holding breath for decent daylight pics. On the up side, I'm going out to get drunk for my Birthday tonight, so I'll give them an "action" debut 

[Beatle]

I hope you guys had a great and relaxed Xmas …stoked for this mega event to get busted , see you all at the chain stitch massacre / and I sure hope I'll see your legs in San Francisco ... that will be the most fantastic denim get together ever ...

Make the most of it.

[Finn666]

SF is happening in 2014 right?…

[Megatron1505]

Yup, March/ April 2014 for the GORUCK challenge.

[Finn666]

okay, i might be able to come over (depends on the financial situation i might be in by then!)…looking forward to it!

[Finn666]

so following MM`s advice, i haven´t ordered while lying in bed last night…totally drunk! so i thought i should compare measurements again today!

634S-RAW (35, raw) / MBB (36, one washed)

Waist            36.0 / 35.0
Front Rise      11.5 / 12.0
Rear Rise      15.8 / 16.3
Thigh            13.5 / 13.0
Knee            10.0 / 9.5
Hem            10.0 / 9.0
Inseam          37.0 / 37.0

this doesn´t look too bad actually…the 634S-RAW have shrunken after some soaks and washes so looking at those measurements, i could almost achieve the exact same cut/fit i now have with my 634S-RAW, right?

[Megatron1505]

Yeh, maybe slightly slimmer, but basically yeh.

[seawolf]

Rafa,

FWIW, I have a pair of 634S and a pair of 634XHS, and they fit completely differently even though they measure the same. There's something about that 25oz denim!
