gotta get me a pair of 666 25oz one day

[Finn666]

great fit there stan…only thing I'd maybe be doing is that I'd hem them. then they will look perfect IMO

[Diavolo]

@Stan…what exactly measure in your 666 25oz before you wear them? Thank you

[crankyfart]

great fit Stan! not gonna hem it shorter?

[STAN]

Thanks guys.

Measurement is the same as the 666xhs websites. Agree about getting the inseam shorter but at this moment I like keeping the cuff.

@volcano:

seul: love your 2nd picture.

Possibly the best 666 fit I've seen. Great job Seul, even though it looks like you're trying to fart in first pic!

^^Can't wait to see them washed!

Thanks for being a trail-blazer GHBK!… My pair is a few months behind this beauty, but I can see a hole forming in that exact same location: that inside crease under your bum on both sides near the crotch seam.

In addition to the Double-Knee jeans, anyone in support of a Double-Crotch jean?  It's a shame to see such exquisite jeans succumb so quickly to something so predictable.

[thewickett]

the stiffness/thickness of the denim is the problem - I'm not too sure two layers of the fabric would remedy the situation

[Guest]

Well it works for the loggers.  Hypothetically, it would take twice as long to form a hole all the way through.  And maybe by that time, the jeans will have been washed enough to limit the damage from stiffness.

Gotta do something.  Its clearly the weakest point (other than the chain-stitched hems) on every single pair of jeans that I have.  Buying another pair or having them patched can't be the best solution possible, especially not for the consumer.

Anyway, Wonderful pair of jawns GHBK16!  Well done.

Interesting hole on those… I had mine cuffed for awhile and they started to break at the fold much sooner than my SRs did.  I wonder if this denim breaks down quicker because of its stiffness.

I actually used to do this with Dickies I rode my bike in. Buy pants, cut them into shorts just under the knee, sew the excess into the crotch so it wouldn't blow up immediately. Worked for quite a while however the 25oz material is an entire different beast. Would be interested to see if that would work. Could just end up feeling like a denim diaper, lol.

If double crotch jeans ever came out I'd surely be in for a pair to try it out. I have the same tear/hole on the upper crotch of the left leg in 3 months of wear.

I just figured it was the slim cut butt area and the tightness of the seat in the 666 that forced the wear.  I can definitely feel that area getting the most stress when I go up and down stairs and stretch the legs out.

Maybe it's just Giles' failsafe to ensure we keep buying new pants every few months.
