Announcement: HWDC Round 2 2013/15

[vespr^1198s]

Will the 25oz busters have measurements more like the 21 oz indigo one, or the sbg one? the normal indigo ones have thigh measurements that are too tight for me.

[demonator]

fucker im in

[demonator]

sanforized or not?????

[Anyone's Ghost]

I would like to be a part of this.

I have money ready for the pre-order.

[boomtime8]

Wow this def sounds interesting...When things get closer to running payment links,etc...Will you guys have the measurements and stuff for the jeans to help us know which size to go with?

[louisbosco]

whoa. im definitely in. miss out on the last one. cant miss out on this.

[zwer]

@demonator - IH 25oz is sanforized.

[Megatron1505]

Wow, a lot happens when you go to sleep, ha ha

There are no "current" plans for a tee, but three days ago there were no plans for jeans either. It's a definite possibility.

The denim is indeed sanforized.

We will not have exact measurements until the jeans are made, as all denims behave slightly differently in different cuts. Apologies if that doesn't help with your decision, but it would be true of any denim or cut we had used.

[Megatron1505]

The best advice I can give regarding measurements is to take a look at the measurement charts on IHUK for the 634, and see how they differ from the 634 XHS. This might help with an understanding of how the denim behaves.

Unfortunately the same cannot be done with the 666, as they are raw.

[Xstan]

megatron, just to confirm , is it ok , if to join the comp with different pair of jeans ? eg..samurai , nf and so on.

[dongshim]

I'm definitely in! been waiting for this since the purchase of my samurai way back in the spring. but.. looking at the details for the competition denim, im kinda torn...

[brianchia]

I dont think I'll be getting those 25oz monsters. It would be nice if there was a tee though.

[Megatron1505]

[beatle]

Good morning..stoked for round 2...

and just a side note , due to the extreme heaviness of the 25oz i think IH will make sure that on the Buster will be adjusted and have a tad more room (as per sbg version) and the lo will be a teeny bit smaller..

and yes, there will be a tee

[Megatron1505]

Good morning B, also super pleased to hear that there will be a tee

[Anders Helseth]

A question: will the categories be decided by denim oz weight post-wash or pre-wash?

Anders

Edited October 28, 2012 by Surrealizm

[Megatron1505]

Post wash, we will go with the weight which they are meant to be worn.

[Anders Helseth]

^thanks for clearing that out

Edited October 28, 2012 by Surrealizm

[Megatron1505]

To clear up something else (which I should have thought of), payment of the balance will not be due until the jeans are ready to ship, so 8 weeks ordering time plus 10 - 12 weeks manufacturing time. Plenty of time to save, which I need also.

[Mike On Autopilot]

Oh snap. That is definitely good news. Does this manufacturing time include the time it will take for you to hem the pairs?

Hey Beatle keep us updated on the tee!

On a related note, this may be a silly question but how much stretch is to be expected of 25 oz. denim? I wouldn't imagine much, but I am in between sizes and trying to decide which size to go with.

[Megatron1505]

Go true to size, you get about 1" worth of stretch but it is not an easy stretch.

Hemming will not take too long, maybe a day or two (he says hopefully), and I will be travelling to the other end of the country to do it

[louisbosco]

Any iron heart experts may tell me about the differences between the 666 and bb? Cause the jeans I had in mind was the 666 XHS till I heard about the bb XHS. Or in any case with a 29 in the sams s5000 24oz, would the same 29 be ok on the bb XHS?

[Megatron1505]

Best thing to do is compare measurements of existing models on IHUK....

I would actually compare the raw Busters....

http://www.ironheart.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=199

Against the 666 fit, as they are the same denim......

http://www.ironheart.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=135

Like I said, the 25oz gives about 1" of stretch, but its not an easy stretch.

Even try to compare against the 24oz Sammys if that would help too...

[unouomedude]

Not really digging the leg opening of the beatle busters. I'll most likely partake with a 301s or 7301s.

[demonator]

so what? are they going to fit like these or not?

http://www.ironheart.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=199

[Megatron1505]

Just about, yes.

[skurlandski]

Does anybody have any experience giving iron heart's 25oz denim an initial soak? Trying to figure out exactly how I want to size.

Edited October 28, 2012 by skurlandski

[Megatron1505]

The jeans are sanforized, the links I put up above were only for size comparison to a specific question asked about the difference between the Busters and the 666.

[Megatron1505]

megatron, just to confirm , is it ok , if to join the comp with different pair of jeans ? eg..samurai , nf and so on.

Apologies, missed this earlier. Yes you are fine to enter with any jeans you like, so long as they have less than 30 days wear on them by the 1st of March, and the denim weighs in at over 17oz.

[whackedout]

Hello, I am about to make the deposit, but should I follow the sizing chart they have listed or go by Busters measurements?

EDIT: NVM it says go TTS.
