T-shirt ordered

Amazing amount of contestants

I'll try to join the chainstitch massacre at Gosport end of March

Anybody in Berlin next week? I'll visit B&B then.

I would love to have some talks to other raw denim heads

I'm down for the belt as well. I'll also likely order the shirt. Any info on the 3/4 sleeve shirt?

[Megatron1505]

Just spoke to Crispin concerning the belt, here are the bullet points of the conversation...

- We can choose any leather he has (Bridle, Italian Shoulder, Natural Russet)

- We can choose whatever colour we want (Black, Light Brown, Dark Brown, Tan)

- We can choose any buckle he has (Single or double pronged, Brass, Nickel Plated, Brass and Mazak)

- Width can be 1.5" or 2".

- Everything will be hand made by him, in his workshop.

- Delivery for the entire batch will be 8 weeks or less.

- I will have leather samples next week.

- I will have images of the buckles next week.

- I will post the pre-order information next week.

So, go nuts guys, custom make your HWDC belt to your own specs, Crispin will make it, I will package and despatch it for you.

Will chase us 3/4 sleeve shirt today, but we weren't expecting it to be ready until March, Jimmy was just super on the ball with the official comp shirts.

You rock. Nice job. Now waiting to hear about the underware

Now we need an official bandana.

[Mike On Autopilot]

Heavyweight redline selvedge butt floss with custom powdercoated rivets?

Agreed on the bandana. Let's just have a two-year one-outfit contest. Anyone? Anyone?

[Megatron1505]

Bandana I can do, I know (in my opinion) the nest in the business at that. However, as was pointed out to me by someone wise, we need to spread this kind of stuff over the two years, people need time to let their wallets heal from the jeans, tee's and belts....but there are some other awesome projects coming, just not yet.

[Megatron1505]

Forgot to add that the Bridle leather is 3.5 - 4.5mm thick, and is heavy duty stuff.

Underwear will be a left hand twill, selvedge cotton, woven by Belgian former heroin addicts, turned Trappiste Monks, using looms made entirely from otter skeletons, and unused copies of Madonna's controversial "Sex" book. We will then export this to Japan, where it will be kissed by Hiroki Nakamura before being shipped to your home in one of Gene Simmons socks.

LOL! And what would be the price?

Dammit, I already have a pair. Don't need another.

[big truck]

mega - that's absurd. Everyone knows gene simmons never wears socks.

[Megatron1505]

Yes, but a real Kiss fan would know that Ace Frehely sends him 32 pairs every Christmas, just to annoy him. And I never said that the socks were worn.

[JHC76]

I think the reference to madonna's sex book may hold up to be the reference of the year. Talk about bringing back something from my grade school days. Nice job.

Would so want to participate on a Swedish brand jeans, but can't find any heavyweights! Just some lightweight 16oz

Thats exactly what I wanted to do as well even asked Nudie for a custom pair but ended up with a pair of lee 101z 23oz from blue jeans company in Gothenburg

[Pizza_Dough]

Is there a Crispin website we can see some pictures of there other stuff on? I may be doing this terribly wrong but didn't see anything lol

[Megatron1505]

There is not unfortunately, I will get the images up next week. Crispin is as small scale as it comes, just one man and his workshop.

[big truck]

mega - you're right. Ace is famous for his handicrafts.

[JHC76]

I am afraid to know what he filled those with

[Megatron1505]

Ace Fehely and his famous sock puppets

[apsidewatch]

friendly request of pinning this topic up?

[everyinchofgod]

Leave it with me, sourcing suppliers right now.

You better not be fucking with me on this. I've been looking for some Iron Heart - quality boxer briefs for quite some time now.

Those are a real great classic cut pants. I'm happy to know, that somebody is wearing them during the contest, since I only have one single pair from them kept brand new for the Jeansmuseum and I'm wondering about their denim evolution

[FrisseFrasse]

I must say I have had my doubts about these I prefer more tapered jeans and these are much wider over the calf than I am used to. Another factor I do not like is that there are no evolution pictures of these online.

Still they are a nice pair of jeans and I hope I can grow to love them

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Without any other denim evolution pics around, makes them more interesting.

I wish you best results on them.
