    Nothing and nothing else that I bring over will be.

    I spoke to H at length about it.  He could not understand my concern, in fact he was very affronted when I said it was a problem.  His reply "It is made to my spec, what is the issue".  He just did not understand my conceren.  That is, until I pointed at his Harley and said would you have bought that if it was made in China?  It was then then that he got it.  He has now found a factory in Japan that can do the down stuff…G

            That's awesome that you talked to H about this (relief washes over me in a cool wave).  I'm sure I speak for many when I say thank you.

                    I just got my new Atelier La Durance Prescotts - bought for my brother. I'm just wondering whether I should hotsoak them to get all the shrinking out of the way before letting him starting to wear them?.. I can't even remember whether they'll shrink  :-\

                      after a day of wear they sat as comfy as always

                        No shrinkage whatsoever lengthwise?.. Nice!.. The waist stretches a bit after some wear, right?.. Cause they're a bit tight on my bro right now (fat bastard should just lose some weight)…

                          dont remember any significant shrinkage in hte length, waist stretches as a mofo, but it took a while, you can try pulling them down and then sitting in them without wearing a belt

                            So this is a question for anyone who has experience with sewing patches or repairing their own pair of 21oz denim by hand. So I am looking to sew a patch onto my IH-9526V and am wondering what needle, thread, and tips you may have? Thanks in advance!

                                  lol..now I just used a regular needle and some random cotton thread to give the crotch area on my 07´s a little extra stitches..that part always gives in first. Needle still ok - hands as well.

                                    So I'm kind of disappointed/pissed right now. Just took off my jeans (2nd day of wear) to go to bed and noticed that the patch got messed up..

                                    How do I fix this?

                                      not at all..you either embrace it as a part of evolution - or you ask Giles if it would be possible to have a leather patch send out to you

                                        I mean, the patch itself is fine, it just got partially ripped off of the jeans. I'm sure I could just sew it back on but damn the material is so thick….I'm mostly wondering how I managed to do this after only 2 days of wear.

                                          ah - the thread on top of the patch looks like the patch itself ripped. Just take a needle and some really strong yarn and fix it by hand
