And Rafa:

@Nerkg:

^where do you live? It's cool you flew in for that..

In Zurich Switzerland. It was a 1 hour 20 min. flight to London and then a nice train ride down to Gosport, which I really like

I was kidding about my sandals as well. I know that all fashion people would kill me for that but yeah, it's a part of me to walk around the comfy way

I can witness that Ruedi wears his sandals all year, he sticks to his principles.

great pix gals and guys, thanks for sharing

[Megatron1505]

That pic of B and Ruedi is frikkin great !!!!

[Seul]

Kickass pics. So much delicious looking denim.

I guess it's useless though to try and have you soak those 25 oz bastards, Rüdi… You'll wear 'm out way too soon if you don't...  :-\

[Giles]

Yet more go over for Chopping & Chaining…..

[tmg]

^Sterling effort there sir, thank you!

[daynym]

Great fun to follow this thread.

Iron Heart, where customers are beyond kings

[FurattoHeddo]

I'd bet you could prepare for a Goruck Challenge carrying around 25oz like that

[Giles]

Apart from walking a mile on the beach carrying a 1KG chocolate egg (does that count?), this is all I have managed to do thus far…...

[Finn666]

damn G.! you know how much you chopped and chained so far?

[FurattoHeddo]

Should be 100+ by the end of the day?

[Finn666]

that is if they all have been chopped and chained…at least one pair i know off isn´t getting any treatment prior to shipping!

[Giles]

I'm not counting.  But there are 49 parcels waiting to be picked up and we hope to double that before MrUPSMan comes tomorrow.  I have help arriving at 09:00, the 25ozers take a lot of time, so if I get someone to measure, chop and hammer, my throughput doubles…

[Simon]

I really wish I could give you a hand with those Giles, but I've got family commitments  :-\

[1moarlap]

Damn you guys are amazing.  I just received a notification informing me that a shipping label has been created - you guys are machines!  100+ pairs of 25oz denim armor hemmed and chainstitched over the course of just a short, bloody fingered, bleary-eyed and hung over weekend, and you're still on schedule.  Super impressive.  I don't think I need to mention that I'm pretty stoked….

[seanocono]

^Agreed on all fronts. Herculean effort.

Just wanted to say a huge Thankyou to Giles , Paula & Mega for all their hard work.
Lovely to see everyone at the wknd & the Mrs & I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Can't wait to see what people can do to the mega busters..

[Finn666]

Giles and Paula are the best…period! words can't describe how much respect and love I feel for them!
there's no mission impossible and even in the roughest and toughest hours, they find time for everything else!

thanks a ton to the both of you! on thursday, there will be at least 107 happy guys all around the world and that's just cuz of you and the japan crew...great feeling!

[Jordan23]

Big respect for P and G for your hard work and passion!

Enjoy ya addiction!
