I have been on a fieldwork in Borneo for the past 2 weeks and my trusty MBB has been my chosen pair. Snapped some pics,but haven't had the chance to upload. Just now decided to take a quick snap and upload them.

Once I get back I will post proper pics and pics of the place too.very refreshing getting out of the city and into the rainforest.

Teaser: my view this afternoon,doin a timelapse.

Couple of before shots

Inside out they go in

Use one of these 2 in 1 things

@Max:

Another short update, as I borrowed a Nikon and wouldn't want to miss the opportunity for decent shots.

16th Updates
Wash Challenge

I used to wash them every 3 or maybe 4months, depend on my activity and of course if there's a free time+good sunlight.
Ok now preparing the stuff

There's some thermometer, thunder soap, and detergent
so maybe, why I use thunder soap? idk, my friend give it to me, and I guess why don't give a shot  ???

And yes a bucket, I prefer wash it by myself because first, there's no washing machine in my dorm,
second, the result of hand washing is more cleaner, you know where the dirty spot is,
and third.. and yes, of course, there's just no washing machine in here, my apologize 

Now I set the temperature to 30 degree celcius, I prefer just warm water, since I used my own hand, so please..

Put the thundersoap first, its about 3 teaspoon

Detergent, put it as much as you want

stir it until the bubbles come

tadaaaa

wash it inside out

and just soak 'em for about 30mins-1hour

look at that indigo 

after clean them from the bubbles and the soap itself

hang it dry

after 2hrs already dried

more pics coming soon

Hi all you denim heads out there
I admire all the great raw denim love, you're giving to all your well loved raw denim projects.

As a little gift from the judge you can earn now an additional 200 $ main price and $100 as a fun price if you can answer the 2 questions posted here and on Iron Heart forum tomorrow morning 8:00 am Middle Europe time in Switzerland including daylight saving time in 14 hours
First correct answer will win
Megatron has to verify if you're still in the contest.

Best success to all you awesome Heavy weight champs

Ruedi the out of the contest judge

^ Fantastic gesture from a true denim gentleman right there.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

I love to keep the raw denim spirit alive.
The 2 questions in 8 hours have to do something with my current out of the contest IH MBB 25 oz jeans ha ha

[4c]

WOW
Amazing combs right there…

[swiss-jeansfreak]

So here we go:

The 1. price question:
At which day my IH 25 oz jeans will celebrate my 500 wear day birthday?
I started wearing them every day since March 31 2013 except 10 days holidays in Marocco and a few other days without them. I celebrated also a special wear day back at July 12 2014

And the 2. price question: What is the craziest stuff I'm carrying in my never washed jeans since a while?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I guess MaxPower already won that
