Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

[dlaz]

in Hong Kong now and with the current weather layering with flannels is now an option!

I just noticed this rip. Should I feel proud….? breaking this 25oz.

@louisbosco that was the plan, but my unfortunate and unplanned poverty means that a trip to Singapore is not currently likely. The prize belts are still being made by @obbigood though.

[louisbosco]

yeah well is there anything being planned for the end of the event then?

[Megatron1505]

Not by me, other than the awarding of prizes.

20 months (almost there!)

32x36 MMB

HC - IH - 38

Edited to say that I've been wearing these again daily for the last couple months, they need another wash as it's been a while but I've been very busy with family and a project that is taking up all my time

So the stitching on the right pocket above the blue W is only fraying there because that is where the car caught my jeans when it was in the process of hitting me on my motorcycle, the red paint is no longer visible and the jeans are no worse otherwise.  I feel any other pair of jeans would of  probably been damaged.

Woooooop +1 @fanya

[Anesthetist]

I love how the knife pocket is visible from the outside. So amazingly good Fanya!

[UnTucked]

Gorgeous fades, @Fanya

[fanya]

Thanks all

And ya it took me a while to figure out what that line was, I for some reason spaced off that there was a pocket knife space

[summ3rhays]

Ok @fanya , I've read it three times now.  So you were hit by a car?  Are you ok?  Did the mc fare as well as the jeans?

[dlaz]

Sunny day in HK..

@summ3rhays:

So you were hit by a car?  Are you ok?

Yeah, I hope you're ok mate!.. Jeans are looking fab…

[fanya]

Ya it's all good, happened in end of June, lady pulled out in front of me, I got my front tire in front of her bumper then she kicked the bike out from under me, pretty tame as far as a motorcycle accident goes, bike still totaled though, wasn't worth much to begin with.

[toddjcoley]

Is there new challenges? I am blind but can't find them.

[xtcclassic]

Woefully far behind in this contest, but my love affair with these is only deepening. Give me another two years lol.

[Megatron1505]

@toddjcoley I haven't posted up any new challenges yet, I was considering leaving the last 6 months free for people to just post updates as the contestant pool is now pretty small but still pretty awesome.

As a judge I'm so impressed about so impressed about those awesome denim evolution results seen here. Congrats to all the hardest core raw denim heads pouring so much incredible denim love in to their raw dnim projects. My out of the contest 25 oz IH jeans are still going strong after 606 wear days and start showing some stronger fadings now.

For all your denim passionates here a little end of the year surprize question to win 300 $ as a first prize and $ 100 as second close winner
If several persons have the same answer, the first incoming answer will count only.
The answer has to be made here or on Iron Heart forum only.
It will be a very simple question about my IH jeans whereyou have to guess something about them.
The question will be posted in 5 days from now so plenty of time to be prepared for this.
The winner will be anounced 2 days later at latest.
Meanwhile I wish all of you an awesome Holiday Season
