Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

[Kanu]

Managed to get my brother to take these pictures. He was a bit hesitant about even helping me til I informed him of the lovely prizes that are on the able. Now begins the process of breaking these bad boys in. Gonna take em to the warehouse tomorrow and hopefully stretch the buggers. Also. Keep note of the band tees, plan on showcasing a new one every update. This time it's the brit hardcore band, Asking Alexandria

I'm in love with the super dark 23 oz denim and cut but I really like these as well.

My belts came wrapped inside my MBBs(which are drying after a quick soak)…highly impressed with them.

[summ3rhays]

Sweet belts. I really dig the double prong.

Oh, and a little standing denim for fun.

[Finn666]

perfect fit right there! and I really like that last pic…
you took some pre and post soak measurements btw.?

[summ3rhays]

Thanks Rafa. Yeah, I took a few before and a few after. They shrunk a little as expected.

Seeing all these pictures, and seeing all the MBB's, belts and tee's arrive with all you guys is like the realisation of a dream for me. It's been a long road, but now we're up and running I could not be happier.

Thank you to everyone who has supported getting this thing going, the IH team, our sponsors for their contributions and invaluable assistance, those who have donated to keep the costs to a minimum, and every competitor for making this the greatest (and biggest) denim show on Earth !!

summ3rhays, you've taken it to next-level. Standing outside barefoot, in a t-shirt, with snow on the mountains behind you. Epic

Funnily enough just minutes before I saw that pic, I said to Paula isn't it great how all the guys from SE Asia do their fitpics bare foot…...

Super quick pre soak pic of my MBB. Hell to button but the plier tip helped!

[Nerkg]

It's so funny everyone is soaking these.
Shrinkage is negligible, unless this denim is different then the other 25oz

@Nerkg:

It's so funny everyone is soaking these.

not at all imo…they are sanforized yeah, but not one washed as FH and Giles stated, so there´s still some shrinkage to be expected! even if it´s just a tad!

[Megatron1505]

Denim is the same, the treatment is different. There are sanforised but not one washed, therefore there is a minimal amount of shrinkage left in them, that is why people are soaking them 

[Nerkg]

Are the dc4002 washed? They shrunk a little but made no difference in combs or anywhere else after I wore them for 6 months

[Megatron1505]

Honestly, no idea. I think you get a subtle "tightening" of any jeans that you wash, real shrinkage is a totally different ball park though.

[supersalami]

all the beautiful fit pics of the new MBBs…. omg...
