Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013 - 2015 - Official Thread

[FLDenim211]

My Beatle Buster jeans have been the best jeans straight off the rack, they are the softest jeans I have bought in spite of their weight.  The taper on these is just right ( I don't like my jeans to stack up above my shoes), the rise on these jeans is absolutely spot on for me since I like my jeans a little higher so that I don't worry about showing my ass, the selvedge line is beautifully done, the knife pocket is the coolest engineering I have seen in a pair of jeans since I started wearing high quality jeans.  The durability and thickness is perfect for when I am skateboarding, it is like having a stoneskin protecting my legs.  I am excited for these jeans more so than any pair I have owned, it is going to be a great 2 years.

 

P.S. 

I did a proper challenge and I have my 1 month update that I will post later on tonight.

I love these jeans and can't stop taking photos of them. 2 years will be no problem.

One month update lookin' good, feelin' silly.

[FLDenim211]

Secondly I would like to show you just how good of an Denim Angel I am, I have been doing free repairs and preemptive patching for my friend who owns Naked&Famous RedCore.  So far I have repaired: Leather patch, chain stitch on the leg inner seam, a knee hole from crashing on our longboards, these pictures feature me preventing a crotch blow out for him for the time being.

this of course is just to prevent the crotch rip

We are of course a bunch of goofy kids

Yup there is a knife pocket....it's in the left front pocket. There's a doubled section of the pocket bag fabric on the front left most portion of the pocket. It's flat so it is a little tricky to find.

I wish it was just a little wider...I collect, carry and use custom folding knives (if you think raw denim is an expensive hobby, check out the custom knife market!), and I only have a few pieces that'll fit in that pocket.

Hi guys,

 

I've finally made it to the starting line. HC-SF-110.

 

No fit pics yet as I'll need to get these hemmed and soaked to get some of the shrinkage out.

 

I present to you Elhaus x NK 01 Prototype. 20oz (one wash) LHT Hand Woven Denim. The only heavy weight hand woven denim in the world. I'll be writing a feature article on the details about this pair on Hall of Fade. Photos seen here will be the same as the article.

Thanks! I'm really happy with them as well. I won't be revealing much information here for now. All will be revealed in the coming article on HOF. I will say this though, after spending the past 2 hours studying the denim, they are a denim geek's wet dream. It's ridiculous. I'm soaking them now as we speak, hopefully the Tuckshop boys will sort out the inseam for me tomorrow. Can't wait to start wearing them in. No one knows how these will fade, but fade they will ^.^

Summer is finally here in Montreal!

Great fit on those finn , is that the pair you had tapered ?

[albertabeef]

@fin hey man could you upload some pics of the new hem and inseam stitching? Would like to see how it compares to others.

[edd]

1 month update. Didnt wear them that much this month, probably missed about 1 1/2 or 2 weeks of wear. Denim is still hairy and leaving blue everywhere.

 

Will try to get close ups later.

rarely seen a selvedge jeans wearing without cuff and you're doing extremely good fit on them!

[HoustonChris]

Really looking forward to seeing the write up and more pictures of the Elhaus pair.  Fantastic looking depth of color to the denim.

Well I got them hemmed today by the master hem-smith Johnny Low at Tuckshop Sundry & Supplies.

 

It's still a little damp from my soak last night, but I couldn't resist trying them on.

 

Here's the Elhaus x NK 01 Prototype fit pics. It's a modified warbonnet cut. 

 

 

[Megatron1505]

Perfect Keat, I'm really excited about these jeans.
