      Can anyone recommend a decent looking long-sleeved henley shirt?  I'm looking for something that is reasonably form-fitting and good for layering.  I was considering American Apparel but would appreciate any suggestions…

      Cheers!

              Not so much a question as a request for feedback…....followed by a series of questions.

              Some of you might have see the Heavyweight Denim Championships thread on here/ SUFU/ Darahkubiru/ Indigo Roots/ MyDenim/ Rawr Denim/ Facebook/ Twitter......I am becoming a media whore, I know.

              Well, I had another crazy idea. What else do people who love denim love? They love footwear right? I see lots of guys talking about getting, or already wearing new boots this year, and leather is perhaps the one thing that evolves in a similar way, and over a similar time frame to your trusted jeans right? Except that with leather it's not about washes, soaks, and drying, it's about polish, care products, types of leather and environment.

              Would a Heavyweight Footwear Championships work? I think so, and I think it could be awesome.

              Questions…

              Would people like a "Competition Specific" boot/ shoe do we think?

              Would a 2 year time frame be the way to go?

              Are there any types of leathers/ boots that should not be allowed?

              Help me out here guys, what do you think?  🙂

                    Is there enough evo on a boot to judge?

                      not sure if the "heavyweight" is that matching for a shoe/boot competition, but i really like this idea (iirc there was something similar going on on sufu a year or so back!?)…

                          After two years, from new, there's plenty of evo to judge if you're wearing the boots.

                          The SUFU one was a horsehide contest, I hate to be so limiting, it disqualifies people who either don't like, or cannot afford a horsehide shoe/ boot. Plus, for me at least, the interest is in the variation.

                          Heavyweight is definitely correct if we're talking solid built Americana workwear boots, and English bench made boots from Trickers or C&J, have you felt the weight of Whites, or Viberg, or Trickers etc….. If they're not heavyweight, then I don't know what is  😃

                            Thats the one, great for enthusiasts of horse hide footwear, and absolutely no use to anyone else.

                                  Yep, cowboy boots welcome.

                                  Just off to work out some criteria, I can't see this kicking off for a couple of months at least yet. I need to get the HWDC1 and HWDC2 squared away first.

                                  Still wanting some feedback to my Q's please guys.

                                      That's very minimalist of you Giles.
