        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.

                          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. . .

                              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.

                                  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

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

                                        Not sure about the 24oz, but the 21oz VX are still 100% cotton threads.

                                          I think it also has to do with the cut/fit. My current 500XX has no loose or ripped thread yet, and I'm wearing it pretty hard. Samurais are definitely no jeans that you have to stitch every two weeks, but some damages might occur. i can live with that, but would prefer poly threads. The worst were my Momotaros, and they only had 15,7 oz.

                                            My 21oz from HWDC1 were all cotton thread but they held up pretty well, the crotch is busted now but it took over 2 years.
