Competition: Heavyweight Denim Championship Of The World 2011/12

[elclintor]

My IH's arrived this morning.

Stuck at work all day. Hopefully i can post pre soak pics tonight.

[lucaas]

heavyweight as in a boxing championship would be nice for the logo

just don't use this kind of heavyweight.....

[Megatron1505]

Theres nothing wrong with the Hulkster.

[ThinFinn]

^+1 on that !

think we should/could actually use this pic of him for the print...

might try sth.out when I'm at home in front of my desktop...

[Max Power]

I certainly won't wear a hulkster shirt! But do what you have to do

[beatle]

Okay, JimmyC will come up with a cool design for a T, details soon..

Till then - pics are good

Busters at work

[Megatron1505]

Looking good Beats, and a big thanks to JimmyC, cant wait to see what he comes up with.

[laxlife1234]

Im going to suggest possibly putting popeye on the shirt?

[beatle]

awesome idea

[Forbidden]

^if those jeans can be replaced by selvedge jeans then it would be golden.

[Megatron1505]

Supreme did a Popeye tee this season though.

[Stacks]

-1 on popeye.

I'm not a sailor man, man.

vv oh no not my precious threadspace!

[Forbidden]

How about we just all stick to what Megatron said in the first place: let the pro do his thing and then we will comment further on t-shirts.

[Megatron1505]

Apologies for the dark pics, it's night time here and my wife has an obsession with "mood" lighting.

Look what arrived today..

Stealth arcs, and a red tab......sexy.

Red and silver selvedge, apparently representing the blood and tears of the master weavers who make the Samurai "cloth of excellence".

Cant wait to see that arc start appearing through the fade.

Obligatory patch shot.

And I forgot to take a pre soak fit pic, but be assured there was masses of hip flare and diaper ass all over. So now.....

[ThinFinn]

^noice mate...+!

finally everyone got their pair!

[elclintor]

Built like a tank.

[ialex]

Megatron count me in on this one for the ih 666 can't wait till my pair comes in!!

[beatle]

Hemi - ur doing the same double pack ? awesome

[Megatron1505]

Rafa, hate is headed your way, ha ha.

ialex, your in.

elclintor, I'm not the only one who denim Santa has visited today then eh?

[elclintor]

Santa was good to me today, except for the fact i'm stuck at work and can't soak em yet...

[Megatron1505]

I was gonna wait until the weekend, but I felt like a kid at christmas so waiting wasn't an option for me.

[vespr^1198s]

i see that IH is already very well represented, but if you don't mind another pair of 634SR's on the list then please add me to the list

[ThinFinn]

Rafa, hate is headed your way, ha ha.

ialex, your in.

elclintor, I'm not the only one who denim Santa has visited today then eh?

hahaha...i hope they don't kill me

[Megatron1505]

Really trying hard to resist the urge to throw my Sams in the dryer so I can wear them tomorrow....just for a few minute.....surely it cant hurt ?!?!?

[vespr^1198s]

why not? aren't most of the contestants already wearing their heavyweight pair?

[laxlife1234]

^TBH, I wouldn't do it. b_f has a way which drys them in ~3 hours I think? Theyre still damp, but wearable I think. The way I dry mine fast is stuffing with newspaper, hasn't failed me yet.

[vespr^1198s]

^ oops, i misread mega's post.

i don't have personal experience with throwing jeans in the dryer, but from what i have read i would refrain from doing so.

[elclintor]

cool, i'll have to try the newspaper trick...

[Megatron1505]

why not? aren't most of the contestants already wearing their heavyweight pair?

Yes, but its a marathon, not a sprint.

Flip them inside out and throw them in on medium heat. Remove while they're still slightly damp. Hang until completely dry. Nothing wrong with doing that. I find it helps to get most of the shrinkage out too.
