Hey giles, why is there a FreeBee patch on the jeans? was that how it was done a few years back pre-lawsuit?

[Giles]

In the very early days, yes…G

[deadendpro]

And by the looks of it the owner wore the tag as well?

Crappy Iphone Macro shots.  1 month - 1 wash.

Stitching's looking nice. I always find myself looking at it when I'm on the toilet 

[deadendpro]

^ i do that when i am on the throne as well seul.. so be not alarmed, you are not alone. (*not a cue to post the mike jackson video…) But i usually am checking the stitching in the inside of my jeans.

Posted this awhile ago on sufu, but couldn't get a good pic of it tonight

[Beatle]

My TWHR01 are about a year old now, and need a little bit of a rebuild by the master.  Just going to give them a wash and ship them out to Hachioji.  These are the before pics, when I get them back I'll post the after pics:

And this is a tiny hole on the left knee, but it'll get bigger and fail if I don't get it sorted

[Beatle]

giles - wait for that Union 43200 and repair them urself..chainstitch all the way..lol

[Giles]

TWHR01.

So they're washed and ready to be shipped - they didn't really need a wash - but I thought it would be rude to send them for repairs unwashed.  So this is 12 months of wear, I would reckon worn about 70% of the time.  1 soak and 4 washes:

Those look really nice. What strikes me are the cuff tears. I get those only in the back but not in the front. But all my jeans where I had that are only 11-12oz, maybe that plays a role.
