        Hey Mr. Administrator,

        this post wasnt a "care for your denim" post but rather a "denim poetry / art / lifestyle" post!

        Would you rather it here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=179.0 ? Either way, there is a thread for this. Otherwise title your thread poetry and denim soaking or something. Not every post needs a new thread. Great photos though!

                  about 10 and my IH27 shirt, which I LOVE.

                  There is a number (too many in fact) that I dont wear because I spend most of my time in the 634XHS and when I dont wear this one, I wear the 24oz dark blue PBJ's. I used to wear the SR's but these have been relegated to the bottom of the pile of active pants.

                  Those I do not wear at all are the light weight pants (the Evisu x Sugarcane or the lightweight PBJ's) and the 634S's. I wish there were more legs or I could change during the day because I love those S's and even the light PBJ's (incredible texture and color, I'd love a slubby IH model one of these days)… Also, I've gained a size and some since 2010 and some of my 31's are too tight. Maybe this Summer when the heavy heavy ones are too hot... and when I've regained some thinness...

                      just wondering do you guys do anything to the leather patch? oil it or leave it? what oil? mink oil? some how after soaking the 666S, the leather patch feels so stiff and rough now. compared it with my 634S, totally different.

                      is it because the patch was soaked in hot water so it's dry? then we gotta oil it and all?

                      sorry if this was asked before or it sound stupid to any of you. I never had issues with levis jeans cos they weren't leather. hope you guys can understand. 🙂

                        put some Leather oil to your patch if it feel dry.. And leave as it is.. I put mine whenever i saw the leather dry, especially after warmwater soak..

                          no wonder! I soaked mine with pretty hot water. so use what kinda oil? mink oil? there's also obernauf oil  and etc right? I'm confused with the oil thing. which is good for our leather patch?

                            I use Obernauf's oil on mine whenever I feel they need it, usually after they've been in the washer!

                              you even can use normal olive oil if you don't have special oil for leather around!…

                                so you use normal olive oil for yours?

                                    why not?…i think if olive oil is good enough for us peops to cook with i think it´s seriously good enough to maintain the leather patch of your jeans, right?

                                        though i don´t think this will happen, since i´ve used it on some of my leather patches and never had any kinda problems, just smooth leather patches!

                                            Fair enough, though the two years of inspecting food manufacturers won't let me do it

                                            This one is mine:

                                            Been wearing these for the last couple years except for the summer, no treatment, hot soaks, cold soaks, hot machine washes, cold machine washes, everything in between
