Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

[zwer]

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.

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!

[FurattoHeddo]

Rafa, if you managed to put on a pair of 555-03 the MBB should work imo (even in 25oz) …

[Seul]

As you were gonna have those Raws tapered anyhow, this seems like the way to go…

[Jordan23]

But be carefull bro! Top block stretching might hurt you. I ve had (and still have) problems with my DC4002 especially when riding my bike!

[Megatron1505]

Top block isn't as harsh as the 555's.

[Jordan23]

Sry, just my experiences though never tried the 555's on.;)

Go for it Rafa you will love 25 oz denim!
