    @Giles:

    I remember now what happened.  The original mill that wove this for us said that they were going to have to stop as the UHR was buggering up their loom too much.  Haraki found another mill that agreed to make it, so this current batch of UHR used a different mill (so obviously a different loom).

    To all intents and purposes, the warp and the weft were same as we have always used.  But there will always bee subtly difference in the cotton and the indigo.  This ain't an exact science…

    This denim is awesome G! I love it. Not as awesome as the 21 flagship or 25 oz XHS imho. But it is a solid 3rd. But this is just my impression after 4 days… so this might be subject to change after it fades and evolves. It can only get better because I  love it.

        @summ3rhays:

        Is there plans for a pic only thread?

        If so, do you want us to upload every couple months, and use the instagram tags for the months in between? I would think the thread would get kinda crazy if collages aren't used.

            Hey all, I put this up on SuFu & I thought maybe I should post here too:

            Earlier post, more about the denim: https://supertalk.superfuture.com/topic/160960-dwc2-2017-2019/?page=5&tab=comments#comment-3260669

            And the follow up:

            I meant to have these done four or five days ago but I've been busy.  Last night and tonight I got to business, sent my $20 and lo & behold, I have an entry:

            18.5oz Kuroki Mills by Jorge Pantalones.

            and a quick soak before I wear them tomorrow:

            I made these along with 10 other pair.  Here are a few process photos:


            Cutting table chaos

            Setting the run & fell, then I finished it on a Kansai dbl. needle chainstitch machine

            My beloved Singer 69-8.  I honestly wasn't sure if it would plow through all ten layers of this 18.5oz denim but it handled it with aplomb.

            Contest hasn't even started yet and I've already had a blast. 🙂  I'll get some pics of them on tomorrow when it's light out.

            Cheers!

            Dodgy, perpetually broke & probably out in the mountains playing.

                    I just noticed the freaky freak #dwc2 dolls. We need to post a shit ton of pics on IG so that those disturbing pics are buried. Haha

                        Contest day 1 with IH-555-02 18 oz, size 30. I've given them ~15 wears so far (a little over half of the days since receiving in early October). Today, they're paired with IH 526J-DD type III, IHSH1-193 flannel, IHT-1721 tee, Alden Natural Chromexcel Tanker Boots, my favorite Ebbets Field hat, and a cat to match the hat. 🙂

                          @cander49 You have my vote for the dopest initial photo out of all I've seen. I think adding the pet is a great idea.  😃 My photos will be taken later this evening. I'll keep it in mind as long as the missus isn't passed out by the time I return home!

                                Thanks. Ebbets Field Flannels does a bunch of nice wool repros of hats from old amateur and minor league baseball teams, and this is from an amateur team from the 60s. This is one of the particularly fun ones. 🙂

                                  Thanks, I found it on their site. I don't normally wear hats but this is too good to pass up.

                                    @jmg65coupe302 I think it was specified in the other DWC thread there are no numbers.  Mega is just keeping a list of names and contact e-mails to my knowledge.

                                      Cool, thanks for clarifying! This is my first denim contest and not sure how everything works (other than beating the heck out if the jeans).
