      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.

        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.

        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.

              I finally washed my 666-XHS. They are a little softer, I think, and the crotch area is intact. Perhaps because I'm skinny…
              I get the major stress in other points, like cuffs and inside the knees, that rub walking. In fact, I noticed a small hole near the hem. Perhaps these 25oz's are to be washed more often.

                I washed mine too.. They're nearly white in places.  They got beat to crap in the washing machine since I didn't turn them inside out first. Oh well, it was going to happen sooner or later.  I tried to get these pics as close to no bullshit as possible (at least on my monitor).  The contrast is insane.

                    had the same thoughts after looking at the pics and as I saw that particular one!…well done dave and IMO the jeans doesn't look that bad (bad as like fucked) for not turning them inside out!

                      Thats exactly what I think. The main is restrictive to the point, on me, where I can't raise my knees parallel to the floor and surely can't skate in them. I move my legs to a point then it just stops and I can feel it in the same area mentioned. From the pics folks posted in this thread I'm sure my body type leaves much less room in the main… especially the thigh.

                      dave - those jeans look amazing.

                      ps - I am literally the Burger King… no affiliation to the Bain Capital run fast food chain, lol.

                        Those look great, Dave. It's like they have come alive after a bit of contact with water.
                        I want to wash mine earlier than I would with other jeans purely to protect them so they last for life. I don't think I'd regret it looking at those. But not yet.

                            I'm still going to wait with washing my pair, and still not enough sunlight for doing some 6 month shots. Bad weather sucks.. 😞
                            But at least i ordered my second pair of IH, 666-SOD it is. 🙂

                            current rotation: IH-666-XHS & IH-666Sod.

                              I tried hanging them with two (two!) wooden hangers with metal clasps - no dice… I tried hanging them outside on my rack - it fell over... It's one of them feckers with a heavy stone for a foot... I barely can move the fecking thing but the XHS'es didn't seem to take notice...

                              So I tossed them over a plastic rack inside an made sure there weren't any folds... And fuck me: I ain't turning them inside out again til they're dry either...

                              I hope they'll be dry by Tuesday...  😞

                                I know, right!  Getting them turned right was a total bitch!  It took me about 10 minutes to get the right hanger configuration.  They kept jumping off the hook.

                                  The XHS were not made to be hung just like any other jeans. They just laugh in your face.

                                      I'll try and take some better pics… Trust me - around this time 2k13 these are gonna be sick!.. Some say these fade fast but I never agreed... Slow as hell... Def will take another 6 months to see some significant fades  🙂

                                      Shrank back to a ~33 - nice... Kneebulges are gone as well for now... Know these two phenomenons are very temporarily but let a man enjoy himself will ya  😉


                                      The sickest is the vertical thighfading… Pics later...  😃

                                        Fit looks great! Are there any week points on your pair after six months

                                        why so serious?

                                            Lots of stuff going on, but camera is not co-operating so shitty pics it is…

                                            daynym: fraying on the hem. Easily fixed by tailor. I'm sending them to the Denim Doctor as soon as it gts too warm to wear them. Then it's September/ October til April/ May again...
