@Snowy:

summ3rhays, you've taken it to next-level. Standing outside barefoot, in a t-shirt, with snow on the mountains behind you. Epic

Haha, I'm barefoot whenever I can. My wife looked disapprovingly at my indigo covered toes from scraping my way into wet MBB's.

@Giles:

(most importantly), bed the constructional threads into the denim…..

Thanks G, that's the confirmation I was looking for

[Finn666]

thanks guys!
need to get rid of that huge "bucket" cuff though
also i thought i should wear the exact same outfit as i had on as shooting the IHxB01 (21oz) fitpics so you guys have something to compare to (both size 36 btw.)…

Just one more time: disregard Nerkg's comments and soak your 25 oz jeans at least after a couple of weeks of wear… Especially if you cuff your jeans or if you're prone to crotch blowouts...

No disrespect Kev, but they won't last two years without a soak...

At last, a ray of hope.  My jeans sales may not fall off the cliff after all…..

[Seul]

I of course meant to say that they wouldn't last two years without needing some repair…

[Guest]

Backed.  Regular soaking is not a bad idea either.  This denim is far too thick and crisp.  It will rub away the seam stitching both inside and out at the hem and crotch seam if you don't.

Great fit guys. I am so much looking forward joining you!

[Max Power]

^you do? In the contest or later? Would be great to see you competing.

[daynym]

Yep. Contest. I ´ve ordered a pair of beatles volume one. The denim and cut sounds so much promising…

I'm curious if you recommend this even after an initial soak. These jeans are quite stiff and don't stack at my ankles well. They just kind of make everything below my knee look all bunchy so I'll be cuffing them to avoid that. I'd hate to have them tear at the fold.

[vespr1198s]

It's a good idea to soak periodically, especially when the jeans are new and are stiffer and still have a lot of starch

planned on taking these buggers to work after uni buuut after5 hours of just sitting and some walking between classes I've come to the realization that I can't handle a 10 hour shift in a warehouse just yet. BUT SOON.
