Yeah, I guess… I just don´t have that kind of money right now. You don´t want to know what I wear to work these days…

Dingo - wow

[beatle]

+1

[Max Power]

Good to see you Dingo. Your pair is fabntastic and inspiration to my S5000 I'm wearing right now. (Also good to see your longboard, lush wheels?).

[dingo]

Thanks guys - I´m going to have the numerous crotch-rips repaired during the next days for the "showdown"

Max, the wheels are Crypto Classic K 65mm - it´s a Sc8te Longboard. I wish I would use the longboard more, but sadly it just doesn´t seem to be the right thing for me.

[Max Power]

Too bad...I wish I could do it more often, but work is eating my time away. Can't wait for your new denim project, I wouldn't bet that these make it till the end of the competition ;-)

[Bobbo]

Oh man, this competition is truly inspirational. So I also ended up with some heavyweight denim and I love it.

Thanks guys.

Can't wait to see the end results!

[Megatron1505]

As B says, 4.5 months to go and all to play for. Also don't forget about the "Title Belt" from our friends over at Obbigood.

And just announce, the HWDC2 will commence on the 1st of February 2013. I have already got my chosen denim, and I'm interested to see how many will be interested to go again.

Format remains the same, 24 months to inflict maximum evo/ punishment/ destruction on your jawns.

Any and all sponsors, prizes and judged remain tba until closer to the event. Please PM me with any questions, thoughts or just to register your interest. I will get a thread up at the back end of the year to deal with organisation.

[rawsnoopy]

Can I join the new competition starting in feb?

If so who should I contact?

Thanks in advance

[Maynard Friedman]

So the new comp starts on 01 Feb 2013 and the existing one ends in 4.5 months - early/mid March 2013. I thought the new one would start after the existing one ended.

[Megatron1505]

Well spotted. New comp starts 01/03/13, this comp ends 28/02/12...clear?

[vespr^1198s]

sign me up for round 2!

[shinobi2000]

I'm definitely interested in hearing about the details of round 2.

[SwedeAlex]

Cosign with the rest!

I´ll be glad to participate!

I´m thinking of buying new denim but might just wait if round 2 of this here competition will kick of.

[Maynard Friedman]

Now this has been established, you have to progress and evolve. I think that only denim of 27oz + should be allowed to participate in Round 2.

[beatle]

tarmac and steel inforced denim

[brianchia]

Now this has been established, you have to progress and evolve. I think that only denim of 27oz + should be allowed to participate in Round 2.

People like me living in Singapore and the surrounding countries will literally die of heat stroke.

People like me living in Singapore and the surrounding countries will literally die of heat stroke.

Darwinism man, if you can't wear the jeans, you can't continue living.

Opinions Needed

Just sat thinking about the next round of the HWDC (and I don't want to shit up this thread with too much talk of the next comp, when this one is far from over), and I started to think about maybe a signature jean for the competition.

Obviously, I wouldn't want to make this a one jean competition (thats not what the comp is about), but I really like the idea of having a "competition specific" jean. In another way it would be cool to see how the competition jean might fare against other jeans.

The response I have had from people interested in the next round so far has been great, and the HWDC tee's that Beats and Jimmy sorted for us last time sold really well (as did the stickers), I think it would add to the sense of community of the comp if we had our own jean, exclusive to the comp. What do you guys think?

** Just to add my disclaimer, this is not for me or anyone else to make any money, I am not about that when it comes to this comp. i genuinely just think that this could be a really cool, exclusive, item for us all to enjoy.

[Ghoul]

I'm digging that idea.

[Megatron1505]

Excellent, just need another 48 or so positive responses if I am to approach manufacturers for a 50 pair run of jeans.

[zwer]

I like this idea and would be interested in the competition if the chosen jean is a fit that works for me (e.g., IH666 yes, !H634 no)

[Megatron1505]

I think the idea of a slimmer (though not skinny) fit would work best for most people to be honest.

[vespr^1198s]

i'm open to the idea of a competition specific jean, and I think it is a cool modification to the HWC theme; however, depending on the cut(s) available i may or may not be participating

[skurlandski]

I would definitely wear a competition jean if the cut was right. Something slim definitely, ideally with a mild taper, but I know that wouldn't be as popular.
