Announcement: HWDC Round 2 2013/15

[jimmyc]

The shirts will be $30 US each. When we have more details on ordering they will be posted ASAP.

Thanks!

[mmbj]

Count me in! Will compete with my samurai s5000gx 17oz.

[Megatron1505]

No-one saw that right? Me and Jimmy are in for a Beat down if "she who must be obeyed" finds out

[whackedout]

I didn't see nothing...hehehe. I dig it.

[shinobi2000]

^ Yeah, I recall there being someone who said he's gonna wear his n&f 32oz. It will be much more clear once the official thread is started and the roaster is written.

Early in this thread I had said I was going to wear the 32 oz N&Fs but that was before the start date was pushed back to April. I was hoping to get in some good winter wear so that by the time the weather warmed up they will have softened a bit. Now that the early stages will be during warm weather I'm having second thoughts about using the 32oz... As a NYC snob, there are only 2 things I concede that are absolutely SHIT about this city -- the horrid state of disrepair into which the subway system has fallen...and the unbearable humidity of its summers. I know everyone in the tropics are rolling their eyes at that but NYC is a very polluted and crowded city and the summer humidity of the Hudson delta just intensifies the unpleasantness. I HATE NYC during the summers and I don't think I can wear 32oz denim that is still stiff during them. We'll see how motivated I am about this...

Just wondering, whats the weather like in NYC during the summer?

Does it hit 90F/ 80+% RH?

Well, walking around hating your (choice of) denim for a couple of months isn't really what this is all about. Just be a badass in your 32oz now, show us some evo and hopefully you find some other pair to give some love for the contest.

And by the way, Netleyhunter said he's gonna kick some 32oz N&F so we'll still get to see how they evolve over a 2 year period.

[Megatron1505]

Not following you, why the sad face?

Iron Heart are publicising the jeans through their newsletter on the 22nd, to cut the preorder off 2 days later would simply be bad manners.

[shiiro]

^ just my feeling. 1 day seems too long for me, just can't wait the event started Mega-san!

How about a hint then? Or will that make it worse?

[Megatron1505]

You need Facebook and Twitter man, lots of hinting been going on.

No more until the 26th now, probably...

[BrownMetallic]

i was holding out til the last minute for the pre-order cuz i was gauging how things are going to impact my holiday expense budget .

well, don't need to hold my breath any longer ... i'm OUT on the BB order & Super Heavyweight category.

i am planning on entering my Samurai Jins for the heavyweight division, instead.

Damn 45RPM Fujimon & WL T.O.W. boots got me blind-sided

[Megatron1505]

Good news for me BM, I love Samurai Jin denim, can't wait to see how those bad boys evolve.

[Ghost Cat]

My Tender 129s with Hillside badassery are hanging in my closet...taunting me...just...taunting me. April can't come soon enough.

[Megatron1505]

Reudie, you're wearing the Mega Beatle Busters right? I'll make sure you're added at registration for the contest.

Do they have any N&F jeans at the moment that will qualify for the super heavy division? It is to bad that the 25oz elephant 3 will not be ready in time
