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

[Beatle]

fuck, yes - now that´s a leather patch that has lived excessively * Thanks for posting, appreciated

[Giles]

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.

[Beatle]

Thanks, Giles. Love them*

Nope, I get cuff tears on my IH 634S and 1534. I manage to do that because I pound the pavement walking and walking, sometimes 15 miles per day (on the weekends).

[shoque]

[Dchill]

I'm def lookin' forward to seeing what they look like after the wash.

[Beatle]

yeah - me too..should be really interesting to see how well the overdye holds up at 40C and a spoon of soap*

[Dchill]

I was actually just about to ask you how you planned on washing them.  A spoonful of soap huh?  What kind?
