Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

@SimonQ.:
any1 has a clue where the original sizing table can be found?
From memory, IH were sizing them exactly as the 21oz Buster - that should be your first stop.
-
Wunnaz - Your jeans will be hemmed in the UK and shipped to you on Tuesday. Who do you want to sign them?
Simon - The sample has the exact same measurements as the 21oz Buster.

i just wanna make sure should i wait for the size chart to come out or use the preorder chart? I'm lost, i know i wear a 30 in the 666XHS and preordered the 32 in the MBB's because it matched as far as sizing for the 30 666XHS
-
If anyone has some special (or strange) requests for their MBB's this weekend please let me know via PM. I can get them signed by anyone present, but I cannot guarantee that Beatle won't swear.
How strange?
-
Stranger the better.

ok just making sure…

**Guys, in reference to the MBB's, Iron Heart were faced with a very simple choice. In light of the fact that half the denim was written off they could have either….
1. Waited for a new batch of denim, resulting in a delay of potentially months before they could be fitted back into the production schedule.
2. Make exactly what was ordered by hand cutting each jean from the roll of denim, and ensure that all 107 ordered pairs were ready for as close to contest start as possible.
Personally, I am glad that they chose the second option. More MBB's will be made, but we do not have the information about when exactly that will be yet.
I have given up my contest pair (size 36) to allow for greater flexibility to those who have ordered and waited. I will now be wearing the samples as my contest pair, (which will have had 40 wears by the start of the comp but lets face it I have piss all chance of winning anyway, ha ha).
Sometimes things do not go exactly to plan, but I think that Iron Heart have responded to a problem not of their creation in a fantastic manner.**
Agreed and I think it adds to the intrigue of owning such a unique pair of jeans. Love it. It adds character.

Is today the day the MBB truck delivers?
-
SHHHH! Don't jinx it!
(I hope the truck is also carrying the IHSH-80 - been dying to send a big wack of cash to IHHQ all week).
-
Fingers crossed - massively looking forward to seeing them at CSM
-
The current situation is that (apart from me losing even more hair) the shipment is in Liege (Belgique) waiting to clear customs. I am applying as much pressure as I can to get them released and I have TNT prepared to use their "special services" people to get the shipment to me. It is not a guarantee I will get them before Saturday.
Unless you have something useful to add or critical information to impart, please do not bomb me, Paula or Gav with emails and/or PMs. We all know you guys are desperate to get the measurements and get your jeans on your legs.
We will update here when we have useful news to impart.
-
Fingers and toes crossed and wishing good thoughts for G&P, Mega and everyone planning to make the trip for the Chainstitch Massacre!

Well, here are the initial shots for my entry into the HWDC2, and since it amuses me, they're an unabashed rip off of pizza_dough's pics.
(He's on SuFu and the other guy in the contest with the SDA X-33s)
And a couple that aren't rip offs…
obligatory standing denim
chain stitched arcs and 1/3 lined back pockets
thick leather patch and lots of nep weave goodness
