      I'm glad I registered, I thought April 1 was the cutoff. 🙂

      What if on April 1st, Gav just goes on all the forums and says April fools, handle this shit yourselves! Haha

              There's a pretty cool video of the HWDC tshirts being screen printed over on SUFU.  Pretty slick.  I guess they are being shipped shortly as well.

                ******OK, I think I've replied to everyones PM's. If you have not received a reply from me, please remind me.

                UPDATES !!!!

                • Just got back from Jakarta, where I got to meet a few former and current competitors, one of our major sponsors (The Denim Vault) and also one of our esteemed judges for Round 2 (Direz Zender), great time and a great denim scene.

                • The Competition tee's from The Denim Vault will be available for shipping by the end of the month, there has been a minor delay in the natural indigo dye process due to capacity.

                • Iron Heart have been busting their balls to get the MBB's ready on time, and due to personal intervention at the mill by Haraki-San, it looks like we might be just about ok.

                • The HWDC website is proving to be extremely problematic, the basic set up is complete but we have a few systems issues. As a back up to this I had always planned that if we could not get this done then I will administrate across the forums using my database. It's going to be more work for me, but it's the only way I can keep the competition rolling for everyone.

                • For at least the first month of the HWDC, all updates will have to be done across the forums. I will start new HWDC "pic update" threads for people to post their update and "Challenge" pictures in.

                • If and when the website becomes available, I will let everyone know and we can all switch across to that.******

                  Yep, Haraki made a special trip down to Kojima (20 hours riding) to work out with the factory how we get these through in time.  It does mean that every other jean I have in production is delayed…...

                    ^ 😮 that's insane on so many counts! (true IH style, and always beyond amazing service).

                      Backed hard !!!! Haraki has gone above and beyond for us on this one, and I am so grateful for his time, help, and not forgetting what he has lost financially on the lost denim and other expenses. Truly one of a kind  😘

                        **Reminder

                        Just  swift reminder that balance of payment for the HWDC belts is due on or before March 22nd, and I would prefer not get all the balances on that date if possible.**

                                  Just saw the payment link, boom. I'm all in! Thanks Haraki and Mega, you guys are seriously incredible. Well played, cheerio, good on you, and whatever other fancy sounding British phrase that means good job.

                                        Ok, so here is what is going to happen in the next couple of weeks…..

                                        • MBB's arrive in Gosport.
                                        • MBB's are measured.
                                        • Measurement chart is published across all forums.
                                        • Mme B send email to all who have bought MBB's for payment, sizing and hemming options.
                                        • At CSM on 30/03 and 01/04 jeans are hemmed.
                                        • From 02/04 onwards all MBB's are shipped, with HWDC belts for those who have requested this.
                                        • I get really, really drunk and vow never to do this again (until next time  😉 )
