I'm a righty but my left knee takes more abuse exiting the plane and on landings my left knee gets slid on more than my right.

How's life on the flip side Todd? Missing the English weather yet?

Slow at the moment work wise but also flat out trying to put my life back together over here and have a family wedding on too.

Time for some repair work, not sure if i am a fan of cotton thread ,  it is hard enough telling people you are in a jean comp for 2 years and your jeans cost over £200 let alone saying if i hadnt done repairs they would be in parts.

^^^^

really like those jeans. can we get a fit picture.  train track split selvage back pockets are dope & look great with wear, might go on the look out for a cheap pair. . .

@toddjcoley:

Yeah, I hate cotton thread.  I understand that some companies like the vintage vibe it gives a worn pair, but I hate doing repair work.  And there's something about jeans that cost $300 falling apart before they're even faded that eats at my soul.

[ronaldlsh]

You guys are just fekking crazy!

[Beatle]

cotton threads were traditionally used with denim fabric that weighed about 8.5 - 12oz …this relatively thin denim was also a lot softer and therefore the cotton threads used for sewing would be sufficient. If you use heavier denim cotton threads simply will get so much strain and abrasion that they will fall apart...ergo a poly core thread is the only thing that will do the job

[Megatron1505]

Now someone just needs to tell Samurai that, ha ha.

[Beatle]

yeah, loose threads on a lot of the old pairs that I have / but I thought there 24oz now is using polycore..
