Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013 - 2015 - Official Thread

Okay I read some questions regarding disqualifications so I thought I should make a post (I am normally only lurking around the forum) I have been gone for some time due to several reasons

I spent most part of the summer traveling playing fieldhockey in the Euro club championship and Euro nations championship and the climate did not work well for 23oz jeans. I also changed my training to get ready for the beach ;) and lost 11kg so the jeans are a lot bigger on me these days. Also I found out that I did not have time for all the minicompetitions and I prefer to wear jeans and read about them more than taking selfies.

 

Anyway my jeans do not have a lot of evo but I have been wearing them constantly since the weather got a bit colder. I think I have started to get some nice subtle fades and I have also only worn my Lee 101Z 23oz with braces/suspenders. I think I have started to notice some leg twist in them as well which I have not decided if I am happy with or not.

 

So am I still in the competition or have I made myself disqualified?

We talked about this a lot more in HDC round 1 - there were updated lists of contestants and those who didn't contribute, were disqualified (I hope I recall it correctly). I am glad, that this wasn't a topic here yet. let's keep it this way. But logging in to tell us that you weren't active, didn't do the competitions and don't like taking pictures of jeans - I am seriously wondering, why you are taking part in this competition then?

 

(No hate, serious interest on my part!)

For me the competition is about the end result, I do not expect to win and frankly I do not care if people sand their jeans because it is their loss they shorten the life of their jeans. I joined the competition to see others updates and in the end of the competition compare my results with you other guys. I will make sure to take some pictures today and maybe later on in the competiton I will take part in the competitions as well.

 

I guess I am a slow starter and right now there have not been much evo anyway

So thats all my pictures for now, the buttons I have used for the suspenders are old buttons from the Swedish military that was used for uniform pants that my granddad saved from the second world war. 

 

I hope you liked the pictures even though they are a bit shitty

I do agree with this. Although I realise it is a competition and we've got loads of prices, I feel like the vibe is all about getting some nice stories to go with the jeans and build an even closer community. So far I'm just enjoying the ride and I plan on keeping it that way.

November update. Wear period unknown because I wore them pretty inconsistently since the start of the contest. They've hit water three times; two for initial and one to clean them up a bit. Jeans have help up pretty nicely so far, only frays on the hems from cuffing, and the beginnings of a crotch rip.

 

Pictures (not the best because I was in a hurry):

The patch got a much needed treatment the other day. I dug up an old picture from when the jeans first arrived for comparison. Actually a bit surprised that it's gotten so much darker with only ~5 months of wear.

Here's the fit after the 6th wash a couple days ago:

I tried to get some photos for contest 4, but my camera was acting up and couldn't seem to get good shots.  Guess I just need to rely on the cell phone camera instead.  This is about the clearest shot I got... Holly was loving the little bit of snow up City Creek Canyon.
