Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

[MidValleyFarm]

Report from the SEPDX opening party, at which I repp'd both HWDCII and HWBC items:

After the "interesting" conversation between my wife and I over the cost of a certain MF-produced bandana ("Yeah, but its limited edition…"), it was quite welcome for her to send me casually and merrily on my way back to Self-Edge PDX.

The hits of the night included beer by Bridgeport, a peek at the darning and chainstitching machines, a visit from Roy Slaper (who is quite tall in person, and who I heard ask, more than once, "Well, what's your favorite Murakami novel?")

Tyler (who I referred to as Zach several times over the evening, as I had been awake for the better part of about 30 hours by that point, exacerbated by free beer) and I nerded out over a few products, Kiya and I watched Roy think about fixing an armoire, I watched Kiya juggle a few hundred thought processes and relationships effortlessly and seamlessly, and in the end, I made off with the beautiful SE 1937 Zippo (purchased at a price more in line with my wife's thinking...).  A fun time was had by all.

the post wash fit:

and for all those that wondered what my tapered selvage line looks like:

[fanya]

Such a killer fit for you on those jeans, looking good.

[mahlon321]

Agreed! The hem and taper turned out really well and they look great on you! Congrats!

[tatmantall]

Lookin stellar raf!

[joesaintjohn]

Really great look. And that shirt. I can't wait for mine to look like that.

[Snowy]

So good midvalley, would love to see more pics if you have. Great story!

[Finn666]

thanks a lot gents (fanya, mahlon, tat and JSJ)…really happy with the altered fit!
they'd look like bootcuts if i wouldn't have done that...

[spitfiredealer]

Nice fit Rafa.

I think once you have to hem them a fair amount then a taper is always on the cards.

Do IH or any company ever do a shorter leg version of a cut? Say a 33 or 34 leg.

[Finn666]

^ that'd be lovely! check the "random rants" thread for the ongoing discussion

[Josh James]

I've decided to post this here since it's still heavyweight related. So, a little backstory: I love the work that Ray at The Blackacre did with my wallet so much that I decided to ask him about making me another one. I kept the cuttoffs from my MBBs and purchased one of the Iron Heart silver rings. I asked Ray about making a wallet that would incorporate both - a heavyweight wallet if you will. I don't have it in my possession yet, but the teaser photo that Ray sent me has me too excited not to share.
And without further ado - here is what will soon be my Blackacre wallet with 25oz iron heart denim.
