      @cander49 What's the story with the hat? I love it.

      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.

          Since the contest officially started, i was wondering if everyone who has already registered for the DWC received their entry numbers yet?

          @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).

                      Great pic @jmg65coupe302 , as stated no auto emails so I'm going oldskool on record keeping.

                      The rules on posting are that you should post regularly if you want to win, by regularly I'm thinking a monthly update is not too much to ask.

                          Thanks Mega! This is my first ever contest and haven't really followed any since the very first Samurai contest years ago o n SuFu. Looking forward to finally participate in one!

                              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. 🙂

                                Its been two weeks from my last post, school has been busy as shit, missed official Nov 1st start shots, but hey, only been two weeks since my last post 🙂

                                So, I found these on the camera, forgot I took them, they were dated 10.25.17 so 2.5 weeks in.  Selfie shot in a mirror right before work.

                                These are from tonight, couple more in the pics thread, 11.6.17.  I missed the first official day of the contest, sorry, but I have pics from initial wear in the main thread from when I started them on 10.7.17. So I guess these are one month pics.  I'll do an official 5 week pics this weekend when I can be around for some natural light.

                                Same light, taken minutes apart, just how the camera read the setting, I'm sure you can mess with editing software, but I'm not that smart. Just showing the difference the shot can make in terms of how the jeans look. Got some combs action going on already.

                                You can see the dog paw print on my knee, I just did a soak yesterday, which would have been number 6, get to do one again tonight.  Thanks dog.

                                          Hah, that's awesome. I'm wearing it again today, actually, but I'm definitely not in NYC at the moment.

                                          Also, speaking of combs, as in a few posts up, I've been biking a decent bit while still slowly recovering from a stress fracture, so it'll be interesting to see if that changes how quickly the combs come in. Seems like maybe whiskers are already getting defined a bit more quickly than usual?

                                            Wearing both my 888s and my 21oz double knee overalls. At the same time. I'm at the bar right now and I am realizing that this is probably too heavy to be practical. I went for a 2 mile walk and it felt like I was walking in quicksand. This might be good if a zombie outbreak should ever occur because there's no way something could bit through these both.
