You guys are going to get a month's head start! I'm going to be itching to go when I get mine.

Same here, waiting for the Samurai 25oz from Pirates. Due to be shipped in June, fingers crossed.

[Davil]

I wish I had my new jeans, but I guess all my others can keep me occupied until my competition denim arrives. All of this waiting is driving me nuts.

[beatle]

It´s a 2 year contest..and I am pretty sure it isn´t the one who wears the longest but most likely the one who wears the hardest who will claim the title...

[Max Power]

Indeed. I think there are some who will retire their pair before the end of the contest to have something left. I plan on wearing mine to the office as long as they look decent enough and then abuse them on the weekends. Let's see if that's enough.

[beatle]

And also - since I just got back - thanks so much to those heavy champs who pre ordered a pair of bybeatle volume one !!

Pre order still up and running - discount code still good - after the initial pre order the retail price will need to be adjusted slightly and go from $345 to $355 - so yes, if you are considering these - now would be the time to pull the trigger..

Same with me. I'll just try to wear them the nice way as long as possible and then I'll let them escape to the wild side of life

Behold the full horror of my burden !!!!!!!

If anyone spots any errors with their listing please PM me, the blank spaces are for people who have signed up but are choosing between two (or more) pairs of denim.

[Chubacca]

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Wow, it seems, that there is quite some work ahead for you!!!!

You should be very proud Mega. This is a huge achievement. The variety in countries and brands gets me real excited about things to come.

I hope many of you will show up in San Fran for the Goruck face off. It'll be more fun if I see 50% of the list there.

[Danny @ Rivet & Hide]

That's one mega list, Mega! Thanks for all your hard work so far. It's only just begun though (don't tell Mini)

[patchmb]

Tommytron ftw.

[thewickett]

I'm looking forward to seeing what Dingo does to a pair of 634s!

[FLDenim211]

FLDenim - how tall are you and roughly how much do you weigh? Personal I know but I am trying to figure out how the MBB's will fit. I see that your a 29 W.

I am an even 6' and I weight roughly 120-125 lbs, the size 29 is a a little tight my father helped me get the top button

- Regain Iron Heart did a lovely job with these they are rough due to weight and thickness but the lack of heavy starching makes these about the same as wearing a 14oz. denim

-Mega I am a superhero lover across the board Batman is by far my favorite hero.

also the weight difference from the Nudies I was wearing to these is astounding, I was shocked at how light my Nudies felt in comparison to these.

Amazing Mega...just awesome. I think we all owe you a beer!

[ToddjColey]

Can we get out country changed? I am down for UK, but am only living here till Aug/September this year. Need to Represent AUS!

thanks for all the hard work mega, superstar of the denim world!

[Megatron1505]

I have a few changes to make, when the final lists are published in the pics thread they will be accurate.

That list is very impressive, I hope that very few drop out over the next two years!

I wish I could make it to San Francisco, but I already have my vacations planned.

Has there been any word from IH about the final MBB production/sizing? I'm itching to receive my new stuff!

[Megatron1505]

The MBB's will be in Gosport next week, and then IH will send the emails and publish the sizing charts.

On a side subject, I was checking the belts earlier before sending and your London Tan, Double Prong looked amazing

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing it in person...but I'll take your word for it!

[boriori]

Damn! I'm the only one that's rocking ONI denim!

[drumad]

Well, I pulled my MBB reservation unfortunately bc I don't want to risk not being able to fit them (y!? bc squatz and oatz).

I'm looking for something with thighs measuring more than 13" and a 35" waist. Any suggestions? So far I've got

• Samurai SV5000VX's - I'd like to try out the 25oz variety but I'd have to wait til June-ish. Looks like BiG also has them in 21oz.
  
• SDA X33 - I cannot find a size 36 anywhere anymore .
  
• IH 634-SV
  
• IH 624-S-B
  
• bybeatles - maybe!?
  

Any help from you big legged guys would be really appreciated.

[llvlaglne]

That's who I'm eye'n too haha

[edd]

so psyched to see some SDA denim here (i think 4 people including me)! it'll be great to finally see some more faded examples besides the 15oz and the lht.

[kevinwalks]

Megatron, I messaged you about a predicament that I have found myself in. I'm aware that you are constantly flooded with messages regarding this competition, but I would really appreciate you getting back to me about my issue. Thanks.
