Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013 - 2015 - Official Thread

[SwedeAlex]

HC-FS-116. Finally got time to snap some pics of my IH 555-01.

Been wearing these only two days in total so nothing going on yet. Really feeling this cut and fit. Not to slim, but a really great fitted jean that I´m extremely happy I purchsed! Superb quality and craftmanship all over.

[Slowitchu]

I guess people like me living in the tropics have gotten so used to the weather that nothing is 'too hot' to wear. Im wearing my 25oz busters in a 30C climate. So far so good!

Yeah, and I thought it was hot in my 19oz in 10 degrees Celsius here in Sweden

What month is this? A foot of snow fell during the night and continues to fall. Sometimes it is just glorious living in Canada.

Yesterday I spent 5 hours doing yard work and today I spent 2 hours shoveling snow.

Masa - trying to post pics using my iPhone. If the links don't work let me know. If they do also let me know. I am fully aware on how to post pictures from the full site. I don't get the options using the phone.

I'm trying to post the pics as I take them instead of having to go to my office to do it.

The links are working. I didn't know that you were posting from your phone. My bad hehe

21 celcius is considered cold weather here in Indonesia.

[overdoze]

First day of summer in London today - 21oz in 21 celsius was warm but comfortable. Not sure how those in Indonesia etc cope.

HC-SF-50 SF 21oz

Nice fit!

I'm also get used to the hot weather as well. You can see many people in Bangkok wearing jeans in a 40c+ climate haha.

[Anyone's Ghost]

I kind of hate my contest jeans (Unbranded)

[Max Power]

^why that?

[Anyone's Ghost]

^why that?

I got them tapered a bit (on the outseam, as the inseam is double felled) so now it looks like shit when I cuff them, but if I don't cuff they sit weird on my shoes. Also they just feel really cheap and fade too fast.

[Max Power]

Too fast fading is nothing to be unhappy with (in a contest like this). For the rest...pics!

I've seen some of the unbranded heavyweights and they really do fade fast. Which might not be very fun in a two year contest

[Do7]

Haha maybe you can still switch Jeans?

Aim for complete anihilation á la Kybosh then. Wear it to a pulp!

[Do7]

Nothing to do here.. just chilling..

[Ghost Cat]

Gave them a short soak, and they tightened up just a bit where I needed it. Still not losing any indigo, except for just the slightest ghost of whiskering, despite having roughly 40 days of wear. It'll be interesting to see how slow fades like these Tenders stack up against fast fades after two years.

[Slowitchu]

whiskers are coming along nicely!

Denim Vault Tee's

The Sponsor tee's are designed, produced and sold by one of our sponsors, The Denim Vault of Jakarta. I can see that the shirt received by Kenzie is clearly not what was ordered, and I have contacted Vincent to find out what has happened, and what can be done to fix it, and I am awaiting his answer. I hope that this is an isolated incident, and I am giving The Denim Vault the benefit of the doubt, and time to respond and sort the issue out.

I have ordered quite a few of these myself, which I was intending to hand out as prizes throughout the contest, so my personal interest in making sure this is resolved is also really high. If anyone has any further problems with the DV shirts, please PM me the details, and your contact details.

Any word Mega?

[Megatron1505]

Worryingly not, I shall carry on with any and all attempts to contact.

[BluRecipe]

HC-SF-100 Red Cloud 21oz. the 13th day. Hoping to buy a decent camera soon to get better images.

Announcement - Denim Vault Sponsor Tee's

I have been in contact with Vincent, who has apologised for the error with Kenzie's shirt. Vincent has asked that anyone who has a problem with their sponsor tee, being not what was ordered, please contact him directly at the following email address.....

[email protected]

If there has been in error in what you have ordered then Vincent will refund your money directly to you.

Apologies on behalf of the organisation team for any problems incurred by contestants.

[ToddjColey]

Lets hope all is good! No one else has seemed to received theirs yet

[Megatron1505]

Yup, still waiting on a pile of them myself. I would say that if they don't start arriving soon then Vincent can expect quite a few emails.

We live in a crazy country don't we? It can get up to +40c in the summer and -40c in the winter. Keeps the rift-raft out though!

[nakedandnude]

Finally got a chance to take some pictures...It's exam season, and also apparently still winter here in Montreal, Canada.

#78 checking in with Naked and Famous 24oz

[Max Power]

^Is this your weather right now? I feel with you! Is anyone by chance in berlin this friday and willing to meet at DC4?

[dingo]

^ I'd love to, don't have time though...

[Max Power]

Well, within two years we'll manage to do it. Felix / daynym lives close to you and to my sister, so I think we can figure something out.

[dingo]

Sounds great to me!

[saintkeat]

Not many people doing the poster challenge huh?

[ThinFinn]

^ as soon as my jeans come back from the tailor, i´ll try to do it!

but besides that, i only saw 1-2 challenge entries so far!...
