DWC - Denim World Championships 2015 - 2017

This is my IronHeart 666SII at the end of the competition

[nizzel55]

Two years of wear and tear. It has been a very awarding journey. It has been fun following every pair in the competition and taking part of your lives.
I enjoy watching denim evolve and competitions like this one makes it possible to take part of that journey without having to wear the jeans myself.
It has also been extremely fun comparing my jeans and Enells pair at work. We wore the same model. Seeing how our jeans evolved was very satisfying.

I signed up with two pair of jeans for the DWC as I could not decide what pair to use.

**IronHeart IH-666SII (Middleweight)
460 days of wear, 2 soaks & 10 machine washes.

IronHeart IH-666UHR (Super Heavyweight)
