Yeah that sounds about right.

[Dirty Denim]

Is that frowned upon?

[Giles]

By some.  Personally I don't give a flying fuck what people do with their jeans…..

Me neither. That is why I have my own closet.

gotcha

MikeC you very well could be right.  It really looked like that thread was picking up the OD.  Maybe I'm seeing things.  This was never a big concern of mine.  More a random thought that came to mind.

[derivative666]

Thread on sb looks great do not be concerned

Mr. UPS man came thru today.  These bad boys came as advertised.

G even sent leftovers.

Black all the way thru.  For now.

Congrats JCar beautiful Jeans. Enjoy it. Mrs and Mr G's service is excellent and superfast

[JCar2666]

Their service is 2nd to none.

[JCar2666]

Still taking these all in.  Waiting for the right moment to remove tags haha.  Hope these never go extinct.  Might have to buy a backup pair if they ever come close to that.

I totally understand what you're going through, JCar.  A couple of weeks ago I got my first pair of OD (Beatle Buster fit) and they are just sensational.

Just like you, I spent a long time inspecting and marvelling at them, and kind of felt bad when I had to de-tag them! I've got a bunch of awesome jeans, but never had anything quite like the IH overdyes.

And then you wear them and realise….holy fuck, these things are comfortable straight away.

Oh, and I love this picture. The OD's actually make that hideous red carpet look good!

Hey! that's my wool blanket for my bed you're talking about.

[Matt]

And what a beautiful blanket it is!

[JCar2666]

Hey G,  I was reading thru the earlier days of this topic and I noticed that you can get these shortened for people straight from the factory.  So this means I could get my regular inseam of a 32" right from the factory with the OD hem an all?  On the next production run of course.

sorry dude, I LOVE your blanket! 

(but your jeans are better  ;))

[JCar2666]

That's more like it.  Only breaking your balls obviously.  We are now way off topic.

No.  We used to do that before I got a Union Special, but anyway the hemming was done post production, so it would be the same as I do anyway.  And you wear those suckers for a month and you won't notice the difference anyway.  It is exactly the same thread as used in the factory (because that is where I get it from), it is just missing a tiny bit of dye….

UPS-Man came 1 day earlier!
First of all, 634S-B are amazing! Surprisingly 28 are a tad larger that 29 on 634S!
The color is very beautiful and, I have to say, a little better then 666Sod. I always had the suspicion that the flagship 21oz IH denim had the best yield in OD process, and now I know I was right!

Giles, why don't you over-dye a thread for sewing? Just to hem OD jeans…
