Competition: Heavyweight Denim Championship Of The World 2011/12

[beautiful_FrEaK]

damn are they full of wrinkles and veins

and so different to dingo's pair!

[Megatron1505]

I thinks it is because I basically gave up on them, I just wear them when I want, wash them when I want, I use regular detergent, I spin them....basically I just treat them like clothes

[gregornz]

^ Yeah, that's interesting. I've heard rumours of indigo marbling if you don't dry them 'properly'. I guess that's what spin cycle does.

Nice, unique, pair!

[nietenhosen]

This shirt is great, what is it?

this denim-shirt was made by me for myself a few weeks ago.

it's a schmidt-shirt.

thank you man and sorry for delay.

[Aries]

Wow, if you ever start producing them for others let me know! Great design.

[ThinFinn]

#36 - IH-634s-raw

here´s another (bigger) tease of mine at a total of 3months now (no wash/soak)!

[jimmyc]

So impressed with how everyones denims are coming along.

Gonna be hard to pick a winner.

If you have worn out your HDC t-shirt you can always get a new at DOUBLEXX

still have some left in all sizes in all three colors.

Beatle:

Those pants are getting more and more personal fadings structures.

I like it to see, how hard some heavy weight denim is fighting against their dead

[beatle]

thanks for ur kind words..I think they are fighting, but like any pair of jawns - they will be destroyed..

[Obbigood]

For April 2012

[Megatron1505]

Beautiful fades James, real vintage style fading, love it.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

thanks for ur kind words..I think they are fighting, but like any pair of jawns - they will be destroyed..

Yeah that's the natural way of denim evolution.

The Jeansmuseum wanna see how far people wanna go with their personal denim evolution.

And if some of those well loved and hard used stuff can survive for ever at a safe place in the real world not in the virtuel web only, the idea of the Jeansmuseum would be fullfilled

[DFreshLeish]

Testing out my new cine, thought i'd take a fit pic even though its not a picture lens...

[Zig_Zagidy]

^Those look ridiculous

[everyinchofgod]

[Kybosh]

Obbigood, that second to last picture is really great, nice update.

Sorry for the lack of an update from me in nearly 4 months. I finally got my act together and sent out my pair for repairs.

A big thanks goes out to Alan (vespr^1198s) for helping me out and taking them into selfedge.

Very pleased with the work done to all 3 pairs, hopefully I can get a few more months out of them now.

before/after,

When I saw the strawberries in the preview, I hoped for something epic. But this is insanity.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

^Thanks Kybosh for this great update!!!

IMO all those 3 pants already have reached more then the Holy Grail Status.

I think I have to create a new category beyound those Holy Grail Status for the Jeansmuseum

Any suggestions are more then welcome.

[dingo]

Contestant number 1 - Samurai S5000VX 21oz - 14 months, 2 soaks, 6 washes

(…)

Great pair! The difference to mine is really interesting!

[Megatron1505]

Thanks Dingo, my son calls them my "lightning jeans" ha ha.

Speaking of my son, I'm pleased that he didn't enter this contest...

IH-MINI - 5 months - 1 wash

[Forbidden]

Mega you have totally stolen the thunder away but here is my second participating pair ih 666 xhs with just around 2 months of wear. Summer is right around the corner here in Beijing and I am still going to keep alternating my pbjs and IHs.

[Rotbart]

And here is my IH DC4001 worn a year:

As you can see not much progress, instead of a little repair job nothing much happend the last months, so this jean is going to be my everlastig love!

[lucaas]

straight from my old camera, no touch up. just a simple re-size.

16 months old

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Great updates around!!!

But Mega: Your sons Mini IH are just amazing!!!!!!!

And Lucaas:

Very nice fadings around back pocket areas
