Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013 - 2015 - Official Thread

[Highvoltage]

I'm giving them a fast hot soak, just to get some of the starch out. I'm glad I went up to the 32, as the fit is exactly as I'd hoped.

They make my 14month dc4001 feel like lightweights.

[BlueOctoberFan]

Blue - how did you size those Onis?

How much did you lose in the inseam?

They are a 36, which is something of a size up by .5". I lost about 2.5" on the inseam, so it went from 35.5" to 33".

[whackedout]

What the, I haven't received any confirmation email from Iron heart yet. Did they ship them all out yet?

[Megatron1505]

Have you paid the full balance, confirmed your size (not changed), and confirmed your length to IHUK?

If so, drop Paula an email.

[cAbES]

Busters are getting a cold soak over night. not looking for much shrinkage, but id like to get rid of the starch

They won't work for me then. Bummer, ONI were going to be my next purchase.

Love the belts I ordered. Slight mixup and I ended up with both being 1.5"(the russet was supposed to be 2"). Quality is really good, these buckles are very nice. The leather itself is awesome, and the smell is amazing. I'm very glad I got in on these, they were a great value.

As they got ready for bed he thought..

"What has he gotten us into?"

Just picked up my HDC shirt, can't wait to see how it fits when I'm home. Thanks a lot to all involved people for doing stuff like that.

[Megatron1505]

Seeing all these pictures, and seeing all the MBB's, belts and tee's arrive with all you guys is like the realisation of a dream for me. It's been a long road, but now we're up and running I could not be happier.

Thank you to everyone who has supported getting this thing going, the IH team, our sponsors for their contributions and invaluable assistance, those who have donated to keep the costs to a minimum, and every competitor for making this the greatest (and biggest) denim show on Earth !!

Is it possible to make the pics-only-thread a sticky topic? That would be very helpful and could replace the old final submission thread (that has been removed from the fixed topics lately).

Calling Beatle, mod assist required ^

[JHC76]

I haven't been following as much as usual the last couple of days (MBBs arrived and will be taking fit pic today!!!)...but I noticed a few pages back the post about the challenges that need to be completed. It seems like it may get buried with all of the posts....is there a better place to post those challenges so they don't get lost?

[Megatron1505]

^ Excellent point Jeff.

From now on all current challenges will be listed prominently in the second post of Page 1.

I had to put the HWDC#2 shirts back on the press to re-print a couple of shirts so I went ahead and printed a few more Small, Mediums & Larges.

If you still want a shirt you are in luck. Order now before these run out.

!!ATTENTION!!: WE ARE ONLY A FEW HATS AWAY FROM PLACING OUR ORDER! Order yours today!!

Just ordered a second hat one size larger. Just in case and hopefully to help get us moving forward. Can always give as a present for anyone sitting on the fence.

Netley - your heavy weight denim will be a sail on Portage and Main.

[skurlandski]

Got pretty drunk last night and wore the MBBs to bed. Woke up to find them a little softer and more comfortable than they were yesterday.

That could be the longest pair of jeans I have ever seen. Are you going to start a fashion trend?

You could call it the 10 gallon cuff.

[The_Old_Penfold]

Heavy champs...I have let you down! I only managed 12h in the MBBs and then I've had to switch to Sno-Pants for a relaxed evening. Its the backoftheknee chafing...no-one mentioned backoftheknee chafing! I feel bad :-(

Tomorrow though, I shall take fit pics, shower in the MBBs (no soap...natch) for a little bit of shrink...and man-up just a little!

@mister

it's presoak and not hemmed yet...

[Highvoltage]

Do you normally smell your belts? ;-)

When they're crafted from nice smelling leather, absolutely .

The London Tan with the double prong seriously fills the entire room with a great smell.

Leather and Hoppes #9 gun cleaner are probably two of my favorite smells, even though I don't use Hoppes anymore. (There are a lot more environmentally friendly products that work better)

Are you sure that wasn't a joke.

The smell of fresh leather beats the smell of new car, or a new pair of denim.

You forgot to include how cool and creeky they sound. I'm with you that they sure smell good.
