Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

HWDC Challenges Round 7
HC-SF-92 Steelfeathers 21oz  2 soaks and 1 wash

3. Running repairs. No doubt that some heavy champs jeans are getting pretty beat up, let's see those repairs and talk us through them.

These jeans have been repaired and repaired.
Countless repairs to the stitching in the crutch, pockets, yoke, inseam and coin pockets. All the stitching repairs I have made myself with needle and thread. 

Home repairs to the zip were made, then after complete failure safety pins go me through a concert, a new zip was installed.

Anders the owner of Steel Feather supplied the Zip. I made an unwise decision and got a local alternations shop to install it… 

After the first time that was very poor Danny from Rivet and Hide sent them off to someone that had done Junior’s. It was a much better job but even still I have had to restitch some parts.
21oz denim don’t play nice with cotton thread.

I have pretty much thrown in the towel with HWDC 2, the climate in Far North Queensland (the G20 is in Cairns now) has me beat. Next round I am I am going lightweight as I have been donning on 16.5 oz when I get the chance.

just some random pics of me walking the dog in my jeans. Figured this plays a big part on the wear i get on my denim.

jeans are due another wash on the 1st of October. Think are getting better with every wash.

Great pics! Rad dog!
And you are correct, these do get better with every wash, it's like a new pair every time they come out of the machine!! yours are looking great @spitfiredealer

[spitfiredealer]

Thanks mate.
I remember thinking at the start of the comp that there was no way the 25oz would ever feel comfy, but thankfully i was wrong.

[Seul]

Cam's busting out of these, so this is going to be about the last wear I suspect?
