Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

Sorry man, I've never owned a pair of Nudies. The 634's are a classic straight cut, the MBB's are slimmer in the thigh, with a higher rise, and slightly tapered below the knee.
-
A 38 in the MBB's will give the snuggest thigh fit, though not skin tight.
Thanks for the info. Which model of nudies do you think the MBB best compare to? What about the IH-634-XHS (I was thinking these were the closest to average joes)? Thanks again.
Best thing you can do is measure your favorite jeans and compare them to the Iron Hearts, there is a link somewhere around here that tells you how IH measures.

I had a pair of Average Joe's way-back-when and, from memory, the cut was slightly roomier than the Beatle Buster in the top block but broadly comparable in terms of taper below the knee. Rise was definitely a fair bit lower on the Nudies though. The weight and quality of denim makes them hang completely differently though, regardless of any similarity cut-wise.
I should add that I haven't owned or tried on the classic IH 634 cut, so my only reference in terms of your question is the BB.
-
I'm definitely going to enter, it's just a matter of determining the specific pair of use. It will likely hinge on how well the 634s's fit when the come in, though I'd like to own the contest jean to really feel as though I am participating in the event.
Gav, 31st of December is the deadline for the deposit, correct?
-
Yup, 31st it is man. Gotta be so we can get them made in time for the contest I'm afraid.

Good info. Thanks. Im pretty hesitant to go for the MBBs because Im afraid they will be too tight. I think I am going to go with the IH 634 when they come in.
With regards to the contest, if I purchase these jeans in the next two weeks, am I supposed to hang on to them until April before I can wear them? That way everybody starts at the same time, right?

Is this going to be one of the monthly themed challenges? Denim assassins
-
DBH less than 30 wears before the comp starts is the key.
CLJ well, we are having a "Jawnsass" (Jackass) theme, so I guess you could incorporate killing…or certainly near death.
-
When the denim settles, and they are hemmed, they will be perfect I think. The 25oz denim is nowhere near as painful as the 23oz either, which was a nice surprise.

COULD I ASK THAT IF YOU SEND A DONATION VIA PAYPAL, THAT YOU LET ME KNOW EITHER YOUR COMPETITION NUMBER OR YOUR FORUM NAME. I CAN'T THANK YOU IF I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Goruck is a sponsor?
Should get all the in shape/work out folks to do a GORUCK CHALLENGE. . . hell even the folks that don't work out as it is all about team work. that would be some entertaining stuff.
Great job all the behind the curtain folks, this is shaping up rather nicely, now to find the motivation to wear the same denim for 2 years.
*** i am mr. slow&steadyfade, but with this marathon pace i really think everyone has a chance at having a great time on this
