Redline Rally Y3

[denim-dawg]

Here are my final submissions.
The IHSH-366-IND was worn on the inside, along with the IHSH-33, and they surely left lots of blue wonder on the inside of the rider. I thought it might happen on the outside, too, so wore the wabash and the 22oz 526-Od on the outside in all kinds of weather.

@denim-dawg Looks super great! I'd love to hear what it smells like!? You already got my vote.

[JunkPants]

Totally agree with @denim-dawg - so many incredible pieces this year. (Jcaz was the only one missing).
Well done guys.

[denim-dawg]

@matt_rost Hahah you know what? It smells great!! I can’t really believe it. At first I was a bit hesitant to even wearing a leather shirt.. and a whole year.. how do I wash it? But it just is a natural beauty, and my wife has not complained about the smell at any time You have also done a superb job fading your Pape Rider, pal

[denim-dawg]

@Fadez You’ve given this totally epic piece justice, pal

As promised, here's a little timelapse vid to document my IHJ-122 fade journey — 365 days of fades condensed into 30 seconds!

@SamD @olblue Thanks.

Credit must go to the amazing jacket produced by Iron Heart, and all who had a hand in producing it. It was a privilege to wear in the Rally.

Congrats everyone! Really tough line up this year.

[Davids_denim]

@Mister_Brue dude you killed it

[olblue]

@Davids_denim incredibly tuff! The ante keeps getting upped!

[GTPowers]

Congrats to all the IH (and others) winners this year!
On a side note; I feel like throwing in the towel. In four years I've never broke out of the top 50. I don't want to push my entry onto others and seem desperate but the community never seems to look my way. Are the studio pictures too sterile? Does my shirt not stand out in anyway? I live by the "just wear it" mantra for every comp and....I don't know.

I'm not a competitive person by nature so it's weird I even let it get to me but it's like this every year. I spend the year really enjoying to community and the updates, not really thinking about placing after the finish line then...boom I see my stuff just fizzle out in the community vote and my morale follows suit.

@GTPowers I’ve always thought your fades were great and the shots were nice. I really like the black background. Was shocked last year your 19oz didn’t do better. Don’t let it get to you man. We’d be doin this anyways right? Just enjoy the community. That’s the key I think.

@GTPowers don't be discouraged my friend, I love your photos and your work, as far as I'm concerned I would reward everyone because you are my heroes I would really like to have a bit of your dedication and patience. I already can't wait to see the next project, courage and congratulations
