        @Qinhan:

        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!

        Q
        Merz b Schwanen, Homespun is great too

        Cheers,
        David

            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.

                            Any boots?  My new Wheeler cowboy boots, for instance?

                            Kinda digging the idea, Gav.;)

                                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.

                                            You would only use it as an excuse to buy more boots anyway  😛
