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

        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…...

                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…

                    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….

                              Yeah

                              Thanks to their great and intense effort!!!

                              And to all HWDC contest people I just say: Day one of the contest has gone, so look forward for your fading work  the next 729 days.

                              I'm really so impressed and almost can't think ahead about all those many freshly ongoing denim evolution projects for the next 2 years or even beyond. Just imagine the millions of stories those pants will reflect after their retirenment

                              So it's time to switch from Happy Easter to Happy Fading!!!
                              Have fun

                              Really roughest vintage or raw denim rags deserves to survive for ever! So never throw away any raw denim rags - Use them as long as possible and when it comes to their end - there is a safe place where your favorite items can rest in peace for ever in the Jeansmseum ruedi.karrer@jeansmuseum.org

                                  Mate, if you can fly me over I'll do it for free ;). Would love to help just a little far away.

                                    Thank you for the offer.  But I have someone (no disrespect intended) much prettier than you, measuring and chopping and we are flying…..

                                        I'm imagining the scene must look a little like this:

                                        On one side of the room

                                        On the other side of the room:
