OK...  It's been a great couple of years with these jeans.

Oni Secret Denim (18oz).  Heavy weight category.

These past two years haven't been as exciting for me as for some other contestants, so I don't have any pictures other than the jeans to show.

 

Here is what the jeans looked like when I first got them:

 

And here they are now:

 

Being worn...  No one else to take the pictures for me...

 

Some details... First, the wear on the button.  I find it funny that the enamel wore off of the top, but none of the others.

 

And a few shots of the texture (rather unique material on the Onis):

 

I don't think that the material is going to take too much more before it starts tearing all over the place.

HC SF 39 - super heavyweight category

I will post these now as I am not sure if I will get a chance towards the end of April. It has been an amazing 2 years. MBB's still have a lot of life left but I am taking a break from contests for now. I still have a ton of denim to break in. If I have learned anything it is I have too many pairs of jeans!!

Anyways here goes:

Belt pics first - I made this belt specifically for the HWDC2

I found this belt buckle at Boys Fort in Portland. I thought a buckle with my birth year was appropriate.

Next is outside.

Terrible photo taken inside via mirror

And another one

Photo taken with HWDC2

Some random evo shots of areas of considerable wear and repairs

Sorry about the size and quality of the pictures. I took them using my Note 4 and then spent most of today trying to get them from photobucket etc. Computer issues suck. The photos don't do the jeans justice but I don't have the camera, photo ability or patience to do it any other way.

Wish you could see these in person. C'est la vie!

Finally submissions for Netleyhunter

 

- Naked & Famous 32oz Heaviest Weight Denim in Weird Guy fit

 

I don't what else to say about this competition other than it's been a ride. Seeing this competition and having some interest in taking part, I knew that if I was going to enter it was going to be all in. My favorite raw denim is Naked & Famous Denim since they are a Canadian company and you gotta support your local guys. A few months before they released the world's heaviest denim, I knew this was the denim for me! Wearing this denim for two years was going to be punishment, the initial breaking in period was hell and going for a 10km hike across a frozen lake maybe wasn't the smartest idea to start that breaking in period! Came back and the back of my knees were bleeding from this denim! Through the months of wear, these jeans slow became soft enough so that they weren't so punishing to wear. They almost became comfortable, much like a very thick leather jacket. Truth be told, other than a few minor holes this denim certainly could hold up for another year or two.

 

These jeans to this day have not been soaked or washed the entire 2 years that I had them. 

 

Favorite memory in these jeans, Checking into a motel in Churchill in Northern Manitoba and the owner of the motel giving me a shotgun with ammunition to walk our group through town to get to spit of land that juts out into Hudson Bay. The shotgun was there to protect our group from the world's largest land carnivore, the polar bear! Never did see a polar bear on that hike, but we did later on in the trip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arrive at motel, given a shotgun by the owner to guard against polar bears = cool

Amazing pics El Toro, what a journey those jeans have seen!  The end result looks amazing, usually I don't like raw denim faded that light but yours turned out perfect.

 

And Netleyhunter, yours are also mind-blowing, going two years without a wash or soak seems insane but the end result is just beyond belief, the depth of color and contrast is outrageously good.

HC-SF-114 - P.I Hagbergs & CO -H60 19oz

 

And it was time for my final submission too, 2 years has gone past and it's been really fun and a great experience with you all!
This was my first pair of heavyweight denim and I've loved them all the way. When I saw this competition I knew that I wanted to participate with a Swedish pair of denim, we have a lot of brands here but none of them do any heavyweight. The production of it had unfortunately stopped and I had to get a non finished pair directly from the factory, that's why my pair don't have any rivets. 
 

But now to the pictures!
