Competition: Heavyweight Denim Championship Of The World 2011/12

[Jestre]

#66 here. Just under 2 months on my SG2109's. Had to wash them this week after doing a lot of work outside in them. I find it difficult to photograph exactly how these look... the macro shots of hardware aging show the truest denim color.

#25 IH666S Lap Shot...

[bennnnny]

wow the color on those 666 really lightened up ^ =O

[Guest nooblet333]

Dam they fade fast too!

[laxlife1234]

Agreed, those Iron Hearts are great!

Here is my fit post wash of my samurai's (still pretty stiff, so ignore the ugly stacking at the bottom). I am VERY happy with this fit, it is tight in the thighs now, and somewhat loose in the legs. I am in love. Update of the jeans post wash to come soon, just gotta get home early enough to take pictures while it is still light out.

(sorry for the poor quality pics, I couldn't get my camera to focus right after about 6 tries).

[iGIT]

[beatle]

Klue:

Incredible pants with unbelievable character. I hope you go ahead wearing them the hard way for ever without washing them!!! And they will reach a holy grail status.

Do you have a pic from the back side??

[laxlife1234]

Klue- those are looking sweet!

Here we are:

Wear time: +/- 3 months. Not much in terms of the combs, but they are hopefully going to form before the years out.

Proper fit:

Most jeans are progressing like at supersonic pace!

got home and changed into my contest pair ,just got back from hemming

[Max Power]

^very true, for 5-6 months there is a lot of good progress. Might take some evo pics soon, too.

@ TF: Why did you soak only the hem?

[ThinFinn]

^cuz they were full of sand and dust from the construction site and i also wanted to see if there`still some shrinkage in`em...

result: no shrinkage, no more sand and dust

soaked the top block a few weeks ago so now only the knees are dry from day one...want to have me some nice contrast fades in that part, that`s why...

[straightxedge]

#69:128 days, 1 wash yesterday, not much indigo has gone, little more contrast comes out, hope you like it

[Max Power]

they look much more royal blue instead of dark grey-blue now. Combs are still in place. I like.

[straightxedge]

in real life there is a little more contrast and the blue is darker

[beatle]

love all the updates...

#76 checking with the lone Naked & Famous Denim (N&F x BiG 21oz) pair in the competition.

From Day 140:

I fear that I got a size too big because I'm losing some of my school year weight since it's Spring and I'm exercising more. First world problems, eh?

Not sure what to do with these since I'm planning to get Naked and Famous' Japan Heritage line coming out this Fall. Maybe it'll be a collector's item, but it looks too good to not wear.

Keep rocking, gang.

[beatle]

wow, epic combs

[ThinFinn]

voting for some close-ups...these are looking brilliant!

[Max Power]

So I don't wanna lack updates: over 5 months in, lost exact count.

IH 634 S-B, Still worn almost every day during the workweek.

[ThinFinn]

so if mine will look like that after 2 more months of wear, i would be totally satisfied

loving` em Flo...so when will you throw them in the washer?

any problems so far?

[vespr^1198s]

looking really great max

[Max Power]

No problems so far. Just a beginning hole at the wallet back pocket. No washing planned so far, they don't reek yet.
