Competition: Heavyweight Denim Championship Of The World 2011/12

[everyinchofgod]

Where are all the round 1 Heavy Champs? I am currently winning due to being the only competitor to post final pics.

You only have to the end of the month people !!

I haven't forgotten. All I have to take pics with is my iPhone, and while that works fine for update pics, I can't use it for my final submission pics. I'll be getting together with a photographer buddy in the next week or so, so that he can take some proper pics...

im sure max power has been asked this a million times but what do you do that makes your combs so amazing?

Breaking them in without washing quite a long time and doing a lot of bicycling I guess?

#12, these only have about a year to 13 or 14 months on them, as I outgrew them, but I loved the denim and wish they still fit.

Leather patch I made for them

^Corporalclegg those look awesome.

How many washes do they have btw? They look alot lighter than most other pairs of the collabs I've seen (a good thing IMO)

[corporalclegg]

thanks man, not sure but probably like 4 or 5 with some hot soaks thrown in, I always just kind of wash when needed.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Great denim evo pics vespr and corporal.

[Megatron1505]

Definitely, this is what I have been looking forward to for the last 2 years. So many beautiful pics, of worn, heavy denim....pure denim porn.

did the final wash on my iron heart 666s 18oz (think it was the fifth?).

there is a lot of wear (but if I had worn these for the full two years, there were not much left..) in this pair, all in all I have to say that I would definitely get another pair of these. front pockets are still in full function. did a lot of repair, all cotton threads have been redone on the back pockets.

this is my first pair of iron heart and they are highly recommended!

here are my final pictures:

Hey folks, here are my final pics… Samurai S5000VX, 21Oz - worn for the full 2 years on a daily basis, although being a teacher, I couldn´t wear them to work during the last couple of months due to obvious reasons... They have been washed 3, maybe 4 times, I´m not sure right now.

I enjoyed the hell out of them, and I´ll try to wear them until they fall apart, which might not be long anyway. Hope you like them… Earlier in the thread, I read someone claiming that the participating Samurais didn´t stand a chance against most IH-pairs - I hope that with my pair I can prove that person wrong!

Anyway… this contest has been a great experience, although I´m not one of the most talkative posters here. If I can get my hands on a new pair of jeans in due time, I´ll be sure to take part in the next contest, if you´ll have me that is...

[Max Power]

Great to see them again, my friend. Your pair was the reason to get me some 5000VX 21 oz months ago already, and you've really given them a lot of love. I hope you'll win, it seems deserved.

Congrats to this super great works on those pants Nietenhosen and Dingo

They have reached Holy Grail status in my opinion

Amazing fadings and wear patterns at the right place

I can't stop checking out those pics again and again.

Great denim evolution art

[nietenhosen]

wow, great dingo, what a pair, so sweet!

only 10 days left, curious about the incoming final pictures of the other jeans...can't wait...

[ThinFinn]

these are badass d....just brilliant!

[Megatron1505]

Yep, absolutely amazing.

[movingslow]

dingo those are killer. certainly did not need anymore motivation to spend money I dont have, but 5000vx21oz just went on the list.

[Davil]

Amazing dingo!

[everyinchofgod]

Jesus, Dingo. You got fades like that and you're a teacher?! What do you teach, alligator wrestling?

[dingo]

You guys, thanks for the comments!

Haha, with some of my pupils, I am sometimes inclined to think that teaching alligator wrestling might have been an easier choice…

No, I really didn´t do anything wild with my Sammies - I just wore them all the time, that´s all: to work, concerts and festivals, playing with my son and our dog(s), walking around, motorcycling, on stage - all that jazz.

Speaking of dogs: on a totally unrelated note, say Hi to the newest member of my "family" - his name is James ( ), and beside him is his proud and loving mother Emily.

Hey guys and gals, #23 here. Second to last fit picture for this competition. Going to give them their final wash tonight then take the final pictures tomorrow or Tuesday. Has been a fun competition even though I didn't get as much wear as I had wanted.

â„–32 - Samurai S500JX-LR - 18oz - Russia

So here is my final update.

2 years, almost everyday wear (5 days per week for sure). Around 10 washes with gentle soap etc.

They are in nice condition still, so now they will have another wash and will fly to US for major repairs, and i hope they will survive few more great years!

[Megatron1505]

Last day to post pics, where the hell is everyone ????
