Competition: Heavyweight Denim Championship Of The World 2011/12

[Obbigood]

Thanks Maynard.

Yes, wash around every month.

[Megatron1505]

Yup, beautiful James. Much as I can appreciate the high contrast fading, this is really more my thing, I love a beautiful vintage faded pair of jeans.

[Howzitboy]

whew, finally finished reading this whole thread. Awesome contest. I was in the first third and the amount of wear on the jeans at that point, I was thinking there would be only denim colored rags left at the end of the 2yrs! Those heavyweight denim are tough! Cant wait to see the final shots!

[beatle]

the Samurais or myself? :-p

Some amazing updates, Dingo your Samurai are putting mine to shame dude, really really cool.

Just a random thought here, how would everyone feel about making this comp a regular thing? Start the next one as soon as this one ends, for either 18 months or 2 years again.

Let me know your thoughts guys, do you still have enough live for heavy denim?

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Hi Mega

I would love to be part of a future contest

[Megatron1505]

And it would be an honour and a pleasure to have you in the Comp Reudi

[everyinchofgod]

Oh boy. As if I need another reason to buy a pair of Iron Heart 666-XHS.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

I'm just at the beginning of breaking in my new Strike Gold with only 300 days of daily wear in them at the moment.

I need 2 additional years to break them in more

[Guest INDIGO QUEEN]

How do you get your jeans to last 3 years Ruedi??

I've just moved into 21oz because my 14oz go into holes!!

[rawsnoopy]

making this competition a regular thing would be awesome

[PeterParker]

Feels great to be wearing these daily again. Chucked them in the washing machine last week and got a line fade. Fortunately, it's not that obvious, but I am wary about throwing them in there again...

Regardless, these will probably get the monthly wash treatment until the end of the contest.

#7 Burgus Plus Lot 780

1 year, 9 months. 3 hand washes, 1 machine wash

I've got a pair of samurai s710xx waiting for a contest and this would be the perfect one. Not even soaked yet and i'm getting kind of impatient. If the next contest is going to happen 100% id most definitely wait

[Max Power]

As I gained wight I outgrew my IH 634 SB but I got a spanking new S5000VX 21 oz waiting for fall. I'd gladly join with this pair, if I'm allowed

[Megatron1505]

Thanks for the responses guys.

Just to make clear that only unworn denim would be allowed (sorry Reudi), and any new competition would not start until next March.

[Max Power]

Ok, I can't hold out that long...Makes no sense to leave a 21 oz pair in the shelf until the heat starts

[swiss-jeansfreak]

I wear them in 3 steps: office-leisure-hard work

And during my daily wear as first grade jeans in a row day for day, they only see some bicicle ridings to the office and sitting around behind the computer. That way, all my first class heavy weight raw denim jeans last at least 2-3 years.

And no additional abbrasions or faster aging from any washings since I wear everything just the dry way.

^^^Mega, no problem for me to wait until next March.

And perhaps I can still make an exception and allowing my Strike Gold a break to continue with this new contest since I have probably more then enough items around me to start with a new project.

^And Max, are you in a hurry for breaking them in?

I would love to have you in this contest.

this

better off having people warm up and get used to their jeans and have them soften up over the colder months so theyll be more comfy in the hot seasons instead of jumping straight into the blazing sun in heavy denim.

you could always start the next comp now so every comp afterwards will allow the cold weather break in period and just have this original comp end as it was intended to in march.

[Maynard Friedman]

What about the southern hemisphere participants, eh?

[Max Power]

Do we have any in regions, where there is a significant difference between summer and winter ;-)?

And well, I'm not inpatient, I could just focus on my Eternals. But to me it makes more sense to wear heavy denim when its freezing cold outside. I'm not gonna leave them in the shelf until winter is over.

[Megatron1505]

Alternatively, I could just delay the next comp until next November/ December so everyone gets Winter Wear. Selfishly, this will also mean that I can wear some "none competition" jeans for once

[Howling]

Dingo,

I've just spent six minutes admiring those jeans. Wear them and be proud.

[DFreshLeish]

Sorry it's been a while, went down to ~1-2 days a week in the summer, it was just too hot...

and a little bonus wabash for good measure...

Glad to be able to wear these again as my dailies!
