Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

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
-
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.

The 666-xhs is not one washed according to IHUK description. I did not soak until 4 months in… It did shrink them but in microscopic increments... I opted to do the same for these and postponed initial soak. I honestly think its 6 one half dozen the other... Probably technically should be soaked but realistically I can foresee a dramatic difference. Just do what you feel like you should do. To each their own
-
I will repeat this until I'm blue in the face in the hope it helps at least one person:
If you're prone to crotch blowouts, soak your 25oz. SOAK THEM! I didn't follow this advice and had my first hole at 3 months. If you soak, you should be good for at least 6 months.

Mine shrank in the same dimensions that G said they would. So for me I'm glad I did it.
-
think this could be interesting for all participants of round two:
today is the day! jumped into my car and drove to the local zollamt (custom office),
the palace where "RAJA" is waiting for me….
and, f*ck, can't find words, so great that belt, WOOW, what a pleasure to held this thing in my hands...did some pics at first, fit-pics later on....
I'm very proud to be the owner of that Heavy Champ Belt!!!
-
Fantastic shots Champ
-
Congrats sir. Well done
-
Sweet belt Champ! Well deserved!
-
too bad that it is not wearable all day, so fecking great belt!
had a feeling that the girl at the custom office (she wanted to know what's in that package, and what I paid for) thought "what's up with these stupid guys?" because I had to told her the story about that belt…haha
-
Congrats, I'll be lucky to even get half that amount of wear.
I should have bought two belts. One as an air freshener and one to wear around. My whole room smells like a leather store. Mega the belt is fantastic. Thanks for all your help.
-
Congrats again! I remember picking up my two prizes from halloffade at customs - they were also totally not believing what I told them about winning a denim contest.
-
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!
If I remember correctly, the 25oz jeans (in any cut) are all sanforized and unwashed. I'm pretty sure a one wash 25oz IH jean does not exist. If I were H and I lost some of the denim in production, I definitely wouldn't one wash the 25oz….
