Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

[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.

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!

[Finn666]

thanks a lot guys!
well i was able to try on a pair of 25oz 634-VMC last year and i have to say that the 36 was a great fit from the start. no problems with buttoning up and so on…might need to check and compare those measurements as well then!

[CLJ]

Given that these will be all year jeans (yikes) I'm not shooting for a tight fit. Little bit loose for the heat and a little loose for some thermal underwear when walking the dogs in the snow.

[Matt]

I've been wearing my heavy devils since it got colder this fall and I'm really going to miss them when the contest starts.  Rafa, go true to size and don't look back.  My 666xhs were my very first pair of IH and I didn't know shit about sizing but they are my best fitting jeans.

Does anyone know any of the tshirt details yet (ie when, where, how much, etc)?

[Megatron1505]

The DoubleXX tee will be $30 I think, plus shipping, the Denim Vault tee will be more as it is 3/4 sleeved, and indigo dyed, not sure on the price for that yet, but it won't be ridiculous. Both tee's will be available for the start of the contest, as will the Ebbets Field cap….of which we should have a sample to take pictures of in the next couple of weeks.

[Matt]

At that price I hope they overstock.  Thanks!

[Megatron1505]

Honestly, can't remember if the Double XX are $30 or $40, the Denim Vault tee's (if I remember correctly) will be around $60. I'll ask Beatle about a price for the Ebbets caps, as that is her gig.

[Megatron1505]

After speaking to Vincent, I can confirm that TDV Sponsor Tee, 3/4 sleeved, will be $50 including worldwide shipping.

[bagley920]

Sweet, copping both shirts!

[Chris]

Yep, I'm in for one of each.  Those prices make it easy to commit.

[Finn666]

is there an updated contestant list btw.?

[Megatron1505]

There is a full contestant list….. which I am not publishing yet as it is frikkin massive.
