Valid point. I wasn't really comfortable with that definition, but I was trying to think of a way to stay within the bounds of the "heavyweight" concept. Your approach is better.

Thanks Chris, most useful
When I say competition specific, I mean like in terms of the MBB's. So a person would not have to wear the boots, but they are an option specially designed for the contest. I think that people like this, I know that over 100 people have liked the MBB's
I'm interested in what is defined by "mass produced", as I think there would potentially be plenty of interest from people wearing Red Wings, are they defined as mass produced? (I actually really like the featherstone leather on Red Wing GT's).
I'd like to stagger this competition a couple of moths behind the HWDC for a few reasons…
- People who want to order Vibergs, Whites, WESCO's or any other custom boots.
- My time to organise this thing alongside the HWDC is extremely limited.
- It takes at least 8 weeks for everyone who is interested to register their interest, choose their weapon, and take delivery.
- From experience, people like competition merchandise. I would need to see if anyone was interested in doing this.
- Same goes for sponsorship, I'm happy to roll without it, but people do like prizes and brand involvement.
I think much of this will be answered by what scale it runs on, 5 guys on one forum, or 150 guys over 6 forums. Hence I'm asking opinions, and seeing what people think.
Just like the HWDC, my motivation is seeing a shit load of awesome denim/ boot porn.

Potential sponsors- Obenauf, Pecard, Mustang Paste, Bick, Meltonian, Feibing, Baker Shoe, The Shoe Healer, Leather Soul, Leffot?
Lots of possibilities…

Ok, this is going to happen
The bad news is that it is not going to happen until at least May/ June, by then I will have the HWDC1 complete, and the HWDC2 underway and ticking over nicely.
I will give some thought over the next few weeks to format and rules, I will contact a few potential sponsors, and put some more thought into competition boots.
Not wanting to shit up this thread any further with my insane ideas, so if anyone wants to discuss further, or has some equally insane ideas, please drop me a PM.
HWFC out….......for now

To Shoreman, Bagley, Davito or anyone else with experience sizing Homespun:
I'm 38.5 inches in the chest, small-medium in IH shirts and medium in IH outerwear. Considering the apparent tight fit of these, would you suggest XL for Homespun henleys? I'm kind of hoping to get something slim fitted but not spandex/spiderman/skin tight.
Thanks for your help guys.

^I have a 39" chest and I find an XL too big for me to wear untucked as they fit slightly bigger than most charts indicate imo, that's just my experience, but I wear IH in a size L as I'm 6'3" tall so maybe this isn't helpfull to you, that being said I'd suggest an L for you though…

@emceeQ waves, yup that'd be me :).
Comes down to walls/doors and other factors that block line of site. Wireless is a shared medium (like hubs), a device further away can hose the entire network whilst everything waits for the distant node.
It's defo worth either reducing power levels, and/or dropping lower transmission rates(speed), to get the best performance out of the network.
I would NOT be purchasing any AC gear, it's FAR to early in the lifecycle. The way the standard works uses far more of the frequency than any device on the market is compatible to receive ,and most will not likely move to it for a long while as it's a very ineffecient use of frequency, both from power-drain, and spectrum.
Stick with N (5Ghz) devices, only use dual/2.4Ghz radios as/if/required, it's a noisy spectrum and poor performing, generally.
I deal with enterprise kit
Ideally, if you can, I'd not run DHCP/NAT/Routing on your access point, and let your/an ADSL modem handle that, even more ideally a firewall/router..
A single combined device that's made to NAT/DHCP/Route, plus does solid N wireless by the looks of it is ZyXEL ZyWALL USG20W. Have not used, but looks very solid.
Hope that's of some help.
