DWCxUHR - Denim World Championship Ultra Heavy Raws…

@FilthyBloodJunkie You might be right about the 25oz. I'm not really sure. Does it have that same amazing soft feeling as the 21oz?

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

It does times 10 maybe. There is really nothing else like It. After the 25 oz beats your legs into submission, during the break in, it feels like It is having sex with your legs afterwards. It feels like a combination of suede and silk after the first wash.

It feels smoother to the touch, and doesn't have the higher, (corduroy like?) ridges of of the 21 oz. I love it! I often fantasize about having a quilt made out of 25 oz denim scraps… It is so, so soft. @superfuzz

I have a fond appreciation for all of IH fabrics, so I like trying them all out. But, I already miss my favorite 25 oz MBBs.

What size are you? Maybe I can send you an old too big pair for you to enjoy?

[superfuzz]

Haha, I'm a size 28 or 29. I think I'd be swimming in your pair!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah… But a pair for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

[superfuzz]

I've been wanting a pair of the 25oz 666. Maybe once I beat these BBs into submission. I just put them on still damp, needed a pair of pliers to get the second button closed, not sure how I'm going to get the top button closed.

Sorry to butt in on your convo, but how big is your old pair, @FilthyBloodJunkie? If it's a 36 or 38, I'd be interested in enjoying it. Lol

@FilthyBloodJunkie that's so beautiful how you described the 25oz. I have yet to try it but I could say I love denim in a pretty fantasizing way. Your comment made me happy.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@sabergirl they're all yours… (check your old)
@cadence they are so nice, they inspire me to write beautiful things! My first impression was to say they were, "such beautiful artistry in denim!" To which Giles made fun of me for. I'm telling you… Get a pair of the 25  oz MBBs. With the navy arcs. They are epically awesome. (size down a size because they stretch).

@FilthyBloodJunkie, I'm beyond stoked! Thanks. Great fit on you DWC UHR raws. Everyone is looking sharp for the contest. I'm getting bummed already that I'm unable to participate.

^thanks check those PMs

[superfuzz]

Post soak and machine wash, I managed to get the top button buttoned. They are still damp so they might shrink a bit more. I hope not!

Mine come in Friday, and I think it's going to be a tight fit.  Could be a long two years.  I might have to stay out of the gym so I don't end up with fingers like yours!

[sabergirl]

Looks like a squeeze, but hopefully doable. Good luck, @superfuzz!

Thanks @sabergirl I've had unsanforized jeans that fit like this and then stretched to perfection, but I'm a little afraid with this denim, but I guess we shall see…

@FilthyBloodJunkie:

@superfuzz I could have sworn I read that the 25 oz. gets treated with silicone to retard fading. It's an interesting topic. Maybe it's just that the Indigo IH uses is better quality and that prolongs its color?

The 21oz gets a post weave treatment that retards fading, the 25oz does not…

[Giles]

@FilthyBloodJunkie:

I recall you saying somewhere that these have no post-loom processing…. Other than starch, I presume. ?

Starch is not applied post weave.  It is a sizing agent that is applied to the warps before weaving, it is applied to decrease friction during the weave and thus decreases the chances of warps breaking in the loom.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks Giles. I was way off.

What we have left that were not pre-ordered are NOW LIVE

Yesterday while trying to button these up after a soak and machine wash, I was thinking…

Today after walking around in them, the waist is definitely tight but I'm feeling much better:

After a 20 minute struggle I got the top button fastened…...fucking ouch is all I can say.
