Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

Yes, they certainly will 

[Megatron1505]

The belts will be a maximum of $120 shipped anywhere in the world I suspect, and I am aiming for lower than that. I'm honestly working my arse off to find us the best belt, at the lowest cost, the HWDC merchandise ( like the tees ) has to be an accessible price for everyone.

Who's doing the underwear Mega? Much much love for all the work going into this

[Megatron1505]

Giles is sourcing a LHT cotton twill, hand woven by monks from Belgistan, using otter bones for the underwear.

[Giles]

I've almost got it sorted, but Otter Bones proving difficult to source in sufficient quantities.  Will Unicorn do instead?

[zwer]

There should be an adequate number of rhino bones left over after I take the hide for my HWDC boots and the meat for some delicious stirfrys and satays.

[Megatron1505]

HWDC belt, current thinking is that it will be specced and priced as follows….

• Choice of black, brown or tan finest quality English Bridle Leather.
• Brass and Masac buckle (Masac is a die cast alloy) with a brushed silver finish, matching the hardware on the MBB's.
• Hand cut and hand made in London.
• Retail price $100 for HWDC contestants, $120 for none contestants.
• Price includes world wide shipping.

Let me know if you want to order, need at least 50 orders.

[Finn666]

you're able to post some pics of the different leathers and the hardware?…

[Megatron1505]

Samples should be with me next week, and pictures will be posted then. I wouldn't expect people to pay without seeing what they are ordering.

[summ3rhays]

Can't wait to see the pics of the belt.  I'm likely in since I've already sold whats left of my soul to this competition.

Oh, I think I'm going to get a little more of it before we're finished…...

[Megatron1505]

Yup, I would think so …... 

[summ3rhays]

Haha, nice.

[tmg]

Sounds great, count me in for one (possibly two)

No natural version planned? Might still be interested (tan) if the buckles look good.

[Megatron1505]

Sorry, there no such thing as natural bridle leather. I can get a natural belt made, but it will be russet rather than bridle leather.

great, I may have to sit this one out… I am deathly allergic to unicorn.

[specmvl]

Thanks for clarification - looking forward to the samples.

[Matt]

Will all of this amazing merchandise only be available during the first few weeks/months of the contest?  I'm having a hard time convincing my accountant (wife) that multiple purchases are a wise investment all up front.  With a 2 year contest looming, my hope is that there will be lots of goodies spaced out along the way.

[fanya]

Pretty much count me in for a belt with Masac buckle especially if it's going to match the MBBs, no sure on which color though, can't wait to see samples. 100$ is a good price imo
