Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013 - 2015 - Official Thread

[Megatron1505]

No, thank you Max for taking the Pepsi challenge with them. The intent was to make a jean which had all the characteristics of natural indigo, now we know it can be done with synthetic we may move to natural next time.

 

It is helped by the dyeing process, and the uneven nature of the hand woven fabric to give the deep variation in colour you see on many of the natural indigo jeans.

Damn Cander, great contrasts although you've washed them 5 times in such a short timespan.

I never get a chances to get 710XX Max. And i've try it but not really my fit. 

So, that was my MBBs. 

[Bobbo]

My Steel Feathers have passed 10 weeks of wear. Excluding the initial soak they got their first soak a few days ago. Here are some quick snaps although there arn't that much evo to speak of as of yet.

 

The denim is still quite hairy from the knee down.

 

[FLDenim211]

I soaked my jeans after going longboarding and sweating way too much in them for 5~6 months. Here are my post soaks:

[bradl]

Shiiros MBB are simply stunning, the way every crease has landed makes the jeans look spectacular.

Thanks guys.  I may have only washed them 4 times, now that I think about it.  I was pretty sure the count was 5, but I only washed them for the first time after 3 months, and then once every 3-4 weeks since then, so 4 would make more sense.  I am worried that they won't continue with this much contrast in the future due to the washings, as they're not as stiff out of the last wash as they were out of the previous ones.  I guess we'll see!
