Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread
-
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…...
-
Yup, I would think so …...
-
Haha, nice.
-
- Choice of black, brown or tan finest quality English Bridle Leather.
No natural version planned? Might still be interested (tan) if the buckles look good.
-
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.
-
I've almost got it sorted, but Otter Bones proving difficult to source in sufficient quantities. Will Unicorn do instead?
great, I may have to sit this one out… I am deathly allergic to unicorn.
-
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.
-
Ill take the otter leather belt in size XXL please.
-
My favourite is black leather, silver buckle. I know it won't evo like a lighter colour, but the MBB's have black stitching and silver hardware…..so that's the deal sealed for me.
-
2 HWDC2 t shirts just ordered
-
I wouldn't expect people to pay without seeing what they are ordering.
(couldn't resist)

Just spoke to Crispin concerning the belt, here are the bullet points of the conversation…
- We can choose any leather he has (Bridle, Italian Shoulder, Natural Russet)
- We can choose whatever colour we want (Black, Light Brown, Dark Brown, Tan)
- We can choose any buckle he has (Single or double pronged, Brass, Nickel Plated, Brass and Mazak)
- Width can be 1.5" or 2"
- Everything will be hand made by him, in his workshop.
- Delivery for the entire batch will be 8 weeks or less.
- I will have leather samples next week.
- I will have images of the buckles next week.
- I will post the pre-order information next week.
So, go nuts guys, custom make your HWDC belt to your own specs, Crispin will make it, I will package and despatch it for you.
-
You make it so hard to say no…
-
Forgot to add (as I know this is important to some), the bridle leather is 3.5 - 4.5 mm thick, and is a heavy duty leather.

Differences between the 3 leathers?
Will the 2 inch fit in the belt loops? I got a 1 3/4 inch atm and i swear there isn't room for another 1/4 inch but maybe there is.
-
- Bridle leather is top quality, labour intensively treated and dyed leather.
- Italian Shoulder is a slightly thinner, top cut of Italian leather.
- Natural Russet is a completely untreated piece of English leather, for the owner to tan or treat as they please.
Cannot comment on whether 2" is too big for loops, as loops are not standard amongst brands, if it helps I am going with a 1.5" black bridle leather belt, with brass and mazak buckle.
