      Would a lighter weight denim last 2 years?

        Megatron likes heavyweight denim.  Since he created the contest, he chose what he wanted to wear.

        Nothing more complicated than that…

            I'm sure there's a good reason I'm not thinking of, but what's the reason it only heavyweight denim in the competition? Would a lighter weight have an advantage over 2 years..?

            Also, my firm belief that lightweight denim is a crypto-fascist metaphore for nuclear war.

                Not at all, just a line stolen from the little known 80's John Cusack classic "Better Off Dead"  😃

                              75?  You're thinking about the boot contest.  This one has 200 or so…

                                      Thought this should be in here, we will keep you informed of developments. Do not worry at this stage, if ny jeans are delayed at all I will amend your competition dates so you do not lose any competition time.

                                      @Giles:

                                      This is the issue.  The looms being at the limit of possibility stop mid weave randomly, this results in a stuttered re-start.  The next few throws of the shuttle resultes in uneven weft lay down.  So we have a band of imperfection running across the cloth.  It is not a good look to utilise in anything.  So we have to cut the patterns out around these bands of imperfection.  That is what we are doing with the MBB's at the moment.  To be honest haraki and I do not know what the impact on MBB delivery will be.  Haraki understands the importance of the MBB issue and will be in the factories the minute his arse lands back in Japan assessing where we are.

                                      As an aside, we get a constant 20% bad fabric when weaving the 21oz.

                                          The possible delay is a bummer, but everyone has already patiently waited this long so I don't see a huge difference in waiting a little longer. I'm sure the MBBs will be worth it when they're finished and I'll still be looking forward to wearing my pair for the first time.

                                            Quick reminder for those who have purchased HWDC belts. Your belts are being manufactured now, and should be with me by around the 22nd of March. If you have only paid the deposit, this date is when I will need the balance of your payment by.
