DWC2 - 2017 - 2019

@Megatron1505 how often will we need to submit updates? I'm guessing monthly?

What can cause disqualification? In the event I have a blowout and need a repair which takes longer than a month, will that constitute grounds for disqualification from the challenge?

Will an official set of rules be posted as we near the beginning or at the start date? I've never entered a contest so I'm not 100% on how it all works.

Thanks!!

@Jett129:

Maybe some denim days at first,and do you have to forgoe the closed collar/necktie look just because you're wearing denim. See how that affects your perception in the office and adjust accordingly.

I feel ties are too formal for denims casualness, but maybe behind a sport coat as tfahey00 has mentioned

I absolutely love wearing denim with a sport coat. It's such a great combo!

I think this might be the best solution, and it's going to be getting cold so another layer is always good!

Super excited for the contest.  Going to get in my denim this weekend.  Ya know, amnesty wears and all.

Here's my denim with a sport coat and bowtie. I don't think it looks out of place…

Updates are preferred monthly, unless you have a good excuse like a blow out. I'm going to drop a ruling in about no more than 8 weeks between updates I reckon, that should be more than enough time to solve most emergencies and if it isn't then the contestant probably has more to worry about in life than a denim contest  ???

Classy!  The jacket ties it all together, I'm going to have to hustle up some money to get one.

[louisbosco]

are you going to create a new thread to start things officially? or do we keep going from here..

[Megatron1505]

I'm easy guys, a submissions thread would probably be cleaner but the build up content is good for reference info.

[bryaneidins70]

I'm off to IH Hq Monday to choose a pair for the comp. Got a couple of ideas. I'll let you know what I ended up with on Monday.

much fun there 

[goosehd]

Payment sent.  This should be a fun experience and I really can't wait to see some of the submissions and end results.

[goosehd]

Are there any tips on selecting the pair of jeans for the competition?  I have the 888's on order, but was curious if anybody ever tried 634-XHS.

I have a pair of the 634-XHSod that I haven't worn yet, and was kicking around the insane idea of using them.

[neph93]

XHS-Od is a great idea. That stuff wears in beautifully. The regular XHS gives high contrast fades at the crease points and lovely vertical fading on the thighs etc. They'd be good DWC jeans too, without a doubt.

I'd totally melt wearing a 25oz jean during the summer. Holy crap! I'm entering boring old Levi's 501XX 1947s. 14oz is going to keep me from smelling like a bog in July…

My thoughts are the same.....'What can I comfortably wear most of the year and also take on holiday'.

[Megatron1505]

25oz breathes surprisingly well, 21 is also good. The 14od is less breathable than the standard 14, but still good summer jeans.

[neph93]

I'm good in 25oz up to about the low to mid 20's . Which works well given where I live [emoji1]

[manufc10]

Are the 25oz more breathable than the original 18oz?

[neph93]

@manufc10:

I'd say so yes. The 18oz and UHR are the two IH denims that breathe the least.

Oh damn…you've just given me a ray of light.  I've never really given them a second thought since I live in the middle of a desert but if they are that breathable then they might be doable for winter.

[neph93]

Nice! They're don't let the air circulate like the 21oz but this summer I was doing physical work in mine in 20C and not sweating unduly. Given that you prefer a looser fit as well you may be positively surprised.
