Competition: Heavyweight Denim Championship Of The World 2011/12

Or just buy a tapered fit model.

[Stacks]

Yes if that's an option obviously. In many cases the manufacturer does not produce a tapered fit model. I'm not going to sit around and wait 2 years for a 24oz 710 model when I can just get it done professionally for $50.

Also those 24oz RHT are mindblowingly awesome; if I owned a pair like that I could die happy.

[Megatron1505]

At the end of the day it's all personal opinion, you like an artificial taper, I don't.....doesn't really matter.

#36 checking in...

IHxB01 (34/36)

just a few pics:

still gotta melt a few kilos if i want to fit them right!

thus no fitpics, till i'm satisfied ...

[PeterParker]

In all respect to beatle and her fit is really good but if she weren't beatle but some unknown person, half of you if not more would advise her to hem her IHs.

But I don't remember if she ever get one of her jeans hemmed and that stacking kinda belongs to her

I just want to say that we very often apply double standards here.

Too often do people on SuFu buy a nice pair of jeans, only to neglect wearing them at an appropriate length.

Commentary was provided for lax because he appears uncomfortable with his fit.

Commentary was reserved for beatle because she looks comfortable with her style:

I just like them stacked or I don´t give a damn..

one year 24oz denim

If it looks good is another question (answered by the judges). I for my part find this pair is too extreme.

Also those 24oz RHT are mindblowingly awesome; if I owned a pair like that I could die happy.

Clearly a difference of opinion here.

DON´T get the samurais tapered. Just don´t do it....

^seconded.

If tapering is allowed should be decided by Megatron but as Atzec said: Don't do it

My Shoai are tapered artificially. I tapered my Sam 24oz RHT artificially.

You should do it too if the taper will make the jeans fit you better.

Hurf durf I'm going to walk around for 2 years with $400 jeans that fit less than perfectly because to alter them would be DISRESPECTING THE VISION OF THE MANUFACTURER.

kill yourselves

I was looking forward to seeing those Shoai's aged in their original cut. Altering the cut no doubt affects the fades you'll produce. It's not representative of the jeans as they were made.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

^This thread is about a contest, don't flood it with a summation of arguments that would otherwise die, and then pretend to have the final word on this pointless-ness.

[grundletaint]

[ThinFinn]

[simon626]

Beatle just kills it with her fits...outta this world!

I sized up one. Tts is 32 for me. I wanted a relaxed slim fit jean that will never seem tight in the waist haha

[ThinFinn]

[grundletaint]

^you know you still can join, don't ya?...

[Megatron1505]

My fault, I'm English so we do the date dd/mm/yy, rather than mm/dd/yy.

Let me know what you have/ order and I'll add you to the list.

[klue]

Any chance you want another pair of Beatle Busters in this comp? I can promise genuine miner fades as I work on a minesite to sweeten the deal

[grundletaint]

great, thanks! add me to the beatle buster crew. they shipped monday and should arrive in the next couple of days.

[Megatron1505]

^ You're both welcome, with your Busters, please send $4 to obbigood via paypal when you get chance to contribute to the Championship belt.

Miner fades are going to be awesome.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

why did all the IH-guys never considered a contest regarding how popular the brand is? that's not meant as negative as it might sound

I'm just curious. The 666 would have been a excellent pair as it uses a brand new denim

[Atzec]

klue, is the pair on the left the one you´re competing with or did you make yourself another pair?

[Stacks]

[klue]

[Atzec]

^ok, this pic was posted 4 weeks ago. when did you start wearing these?

what size did you guys ended-up purchasing?

[grundletaint]

i went TTS with a 32....fingers crossed. you have them, the fit pics yet?

[morkra]

34 in the BBs which is one inch smaller than all other pairs I measured, but from what I can see they should give that inch.

[klue]

^ok, this pic was posted 4 weeks ago. when did you start wearing these?

i started wearing them middle of november, i realise now that that nuullifies them for the contest. although its tough to imagine two weeks will make much of a difference in a two year contest. is it possible to just have a early end time?

[.5amazing]

I understand that 2wk/2yr isn't a lot but if they give an inch people want a foot... might as well include jawnz that have been worn for the past 90 years.

[Stacks]

not my choice but fwiw I think it'd be worth making an exception if he wanted to end 2 weeks early. dude is wearing some startup company shit he made himself.

he's also a proven competitor (from the FC contest) who I'm confident will update frequently and not drop out.
