Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread

HWDC belt, current thinking is that it will be specced and priced as follows….

• Choice of black, brown or tan finest quality English Bridle Leather.
• Brass and Masac buckle (Masac is a die cast alloy) with a brushed silver finish, matching the hardware on the MBB's.
• Hand cut and hand made in London.
• Retail price $100 for HWDC contestants, $120 for none contestants.
• Price includes world wide shipping.

Let me know if you want to order, need at least 50 orders.

you're able to post some pics of the different leathers and the hardware?…

[Megatron1505]

Samples should be with me next week, and pictures will be posted then. I wouldn't expect people to pay without seeing what they are ordering.

[summ3rhays]

Can't wait to see the pics of the belt.  I'm likely in since I've already sold whats left of my soul to this competition.

Oh, I think I'm going to get a little more of it before we're finished…...

[Megatron1505]

Yup, I would think so …... 

[summ3rhays]

Haha, nice.

[tmg]

Sounds great, count me in for one (possibly two)

No natural version planned? Might still be interested (tan) if the buckles look good.

[Megatron1505]

Sorry, there no such thing as natural bridle leather. I can get a natural belt made, but it will be russet rather than bridle leather.

@Giles:

I've almost got it sorted, but Otter Bones proving difficult to source in sufficient quantities.  Will Unicorn do instead?

great, I may have to sit this one out… I am deathly allergic to unicorn.

Thanks for clarification - looking forward to the samples.

Will all of this amazing merchandise only be available during the first few weeks/months of the contest?  I'm having a hard time convincing my accountant (wife) that multiple purchases are a wise investment all up front.  With a 2 year contest looming, my hope is that there will be lots of goodies spaced out along the way.

[fanya]

Pretty much count me in for a belt with Masac buckle especially if it's going to match the MBBs, no sure on which color though, can't wait to see samples. 100$ is a good price imo

[joesaintjohn]

Ill take the otter leather belt in size XXL please.

…backed!

[Megatron1505]

My favourite is black leather, silver buckle. I know it won't evo like a lighter colour, but the MBB's have black stitching and silver hardware…..so that's the deal sealed for me.

2 HWDC2 t shirts just ordered

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.
