So this January the gang and I went to Bali for a vacation right after our finals (yes, our finals were going on through Christmas and new years)

Here's a picture of us right after we arrived in Bali's airport

And of course my busters, worn since August last year, not much of a fade though. 1 hot soak at that point of time. one tough pair of fekker..

Monster restock….

I started wearing my Beatle Busters at the end of February 2012 so thought it was about time I posted some evolution photos. I wore them in rotation for a while before switching to everyday wear, so they have a total of 9 months wear. I've loved the denim, the cut and the construction from the very beginning and plan on keeping them going for a long time yet.

Some home repair with an old tshirt where my shoulder bag rubs on my hip:

[Qinhan]

Wow, they look great.  Just curious, many washes in those nine months?

[Snowy]

Beautiful SM, love the detailed repairs too.

[Sugar Mountain]

Thanks guys.

Two gentle machine washes with Bronners - at 5 months and 8 months. This coincided with some very muddy hiking and was a matter of necessity as much as hygiene. Now in a two month wash cycle.

Looking good mate.

[Bluegrass]

Fantastic, SM… love it.  I have been wearing mine almost daily for over a month 1/2 now, and they still look brand new - hard to imagine how you can wear these out, or they will ever get any fading.  This is my first IH purchase and I can see the "iron" part of the name is very appropriate. But I'm very happy with them, even if they stay as they are forever.  Thanks for sharing.

[Sugar Mountain]

Thanks Bluegrass. This denim rewards patience and an active lifestyle. If you have both, you can't lose! Enjoy the ride.

[Beatle]
