Not sure what the judging protocol is, but 2 years is up for me

Contestant #7 PeterParker - Burgus Plus Lot 780

2010.12.1 - 2012.12.1

3 hand washes, 4 machine washes

Enjoy.

Check the tumblr link in the signature for a couple more pictures.

Easily my favourite pair of denim I've worn so far. Loved the fit, denim, and construction.

Thanks guys, it's been an awesome 2 years!

Contestant Number 1, Megatron1505 Final Pictures For Consideration

Samurai S5000VX - 21oz

Worn - 15 months

Washed - 6 times

Ok, so I thought that I had better get the ball rolling, as this whole thing was my stupid idea, ha ha, also as I am pretty sure that I am not going to be in the winning positions

I won't be wearing these much again this month, as I'm road testing the MBB's for HWDC2, so here we are.

I made the mistake of trying to run with 2 pairs of denim for this competition, which is why I have limited Round 2 to only 1 pair of jeans. Even so, I have really enjoyed my time with these Samurai, the 21oz VX denim is fantastic and I am so pleased that we have some people wearing them for Round 2. If I had to make 1 negative observation, it is that the 100% cotton stitch does not hold together as well as poly cotton stitching.

So, here we are, no flash, no filters, no effects, just me, my jeans, daylight, and a point and shoot.

#21: Iron Heart 634SB, worn for 1 year straight, then only occasionally due to bellygrowth (also the reason why I didn't post updates the last months).

[corporalclegg]

#12, these only have about a year to 13 or 14 months on them, as I outgrew them, but I loved the denim and wish they still fit.

Leather patch I made for them

#45

did the final wash on my iron heart 666s 18oz (think it was the fifth?).

there is a lot of wear (but if I had worn these for the full two years, there were not much left..) in this pair, all in all I have to say that I would definitely get another pair of these. front pockets are still in full function. did a lot of repair, all cotton threads have been redone on the back pockets.

this is my first pair of iron heart and they are highly recommended!

here are my final pictures:

[Jared_Lee]

Absolutely beautiful stuff guys. Well, done.

[everyinchofgod]

Well, I'm giving up on getting my photographer buddy to be available when I am, iphone pics will unfortunately have to do. These have approximately 16 months total wear and about five washes.

to be continued...

[everyinchofgod]

Thanks for everything, Mega and Beats! It's been a great journey. Onward to HWDC2 and my SExIHxLSxA13's!

Not certain if this is necessary… Just to be on the safe side:

#52

Hey folks, here are my final pics… Samurai S5000VX, 21Oz - worn for the full 2 years on a daily basis, although being a teacher, I couldn´t wear them to work during the last couple of months due to obvious reasons... They have been washed 3, maybe 4 times, I´m not sure right now.

I enjoyed the hell out of them, and I´ll try to wear them until they fall apart, which might not be long anyway. Hope you like them… Earlier in the thread, I read someone claiming that the participating Samurais didn´t stand a chance against most IH-pairs - I hope that with my pair I can prove that person wrong!

Anyway… this contest has been a great experience, although I´m not one of the most talkative posters here. If I can get my hands on a new pair of jeans in due time, I´ll be sure to take part in the next contest, if you´ll have me that is...

stunning

#63 Final Pics

Worn about 18 months, 5 (or 6?) washes ... as you can see, not comparable to other hardcore-faders, but I´m satisfied. I´ll hit the 4 years mark with this DC4 for sure, other denim here sholud be torn to dust then!

[Megatron1505]

Last day, where the hell is everyone?

[beatle]

is it really ?

darn...will take pics today and post !!

#35 - IH666S

- Worn on and off for two years

- Washed when ever dirty

- Original batch of 666S missing the bar tack so I had the crotch reinforced

I'm useless at taking photos so I just pointed the camera and clicked. Photos haven't been edited apart from re-sizing.

Damn, lot of crazy denim these past two years! Just gettin mine in before the buzzer, all "repairs" done by me with extra fabric cut from the pocket bags...

#6 SExDBxSxS12, 2 years 1/1/2011 - 1/1/2013, 10 Soaks, 6 Washes

Wonderful two years you guys! Can't wait to do it again!

Posting this on behalf of

Kybosh

I'm pretty disappointed with the outcome. I really wish I could have wore them longer. I would estimate 12-14 months of solid wear. They went through 4 or 5 rounds of crotch repairs. The last repair was done and they tore a day later so I gave up, this was around the time I posted last in here. I can't wait for the day that the crotch is not the weak link with heavy denim.

[ThinFinn]

so here we go...

#36 - IH-634S-RAW 21/23oz denim

i first went into the contest with a pair of 18oz IH-666Sod, but since i haven´t worn these enough in 2011 to justify keeping them, i went on and bought a new pair in december 2011!

now i´m wearing this pair since the 1st of january 2012, so it´s 13months now!...

already looking forward to HWDC2 and to HWBC...this time i´m going to wear the jeans and boots the full 2 years! really looking forward to that

more info:

- IH-634s-raw 21/23oz denim

- 11months of wear

- 2 initial soaks

- 8-10 washes!?

pic 3 and 4 show their true color!
