I live about 50 km from the epicenter. We felt many strong shocks but no damages at all. My wife's parents live 11 km from the epicenter, and their house is partially collapsed.

These footages are from S. Agostino and Finale Emilia, 5 km from the epicenter:

feel so sorry for your family and all others lost their homes, please recover soon. Please accept my respect for holding strong

[Giles]

Holy crap Giorgio…....

The very first shock was sunday 5/20 at 4:30, and was very strong, 6.1 Richter.
Then we had several minor events (about 20-30 daily) until today, 5/29 at 9:12 with another strong shock (magnitude 5.7). We had 16 people dead, several injured and 15.000 homeless.
And it's not over.

Oh, Giorgio, how terrible.  Thinking of you and Pappsy and her family.  Stay safe and keep us updated.

[Dirty Denim]

SO sorry Giorgio, Hope all is well for u and ur family

[georgeel]

As you can see, we are out of the danger zone (our place is marked as "Freak Andò"), so we are safe and unharmed.

Papsi's parents are inside the damaged area (city called Cento, marked as "Papsi"). Their house was badly damaged, but now they are safe and sound.

In any case (to stay in topic), I prepared some clothes for a quick escape, and my 666-XHS are at the top of the stack!

I try to take it easy, but the last 10 days were very very stressful. Tonight I expect more aftershocks.

Good to hear that you are safe and sound! Stay safe!

Thought I took before pics, can't find them though…

One hole was about golf ball sized, the other just a bit smaller.  Dropped them off at Self Edge NY and 5 days later....

The contrast in color is exaggerated in the pics…with a weeks wear I doubt you'll be able to see the repair.

Pretty thrilled to say the least...

they only mention for raw denim. 666-xhs aren't raw right? so i guess they can be worn straight away as mentioned by hajduk?

anyway im just asking cos mine is still as stiff as feck after wearing around 10 times.

It does not just mention raw denim, see after Raw Denim paragraph:

"Regular and Pre-Soaked Raw Denim (does not need soaking before wearing)"

You want them stiff!!

Wore 'm for 6 months straight away. Will now soak 'm every 2-3 months or so. No science behind, although I would recommend a soak after a month or so to soften them up a bit, especially if you cuff (to avoid bad hem fraying).
