      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.

          Interesting point about fit, Max.  I had the exact opposite brand experience- my Samurais required multiple repairs in several spots, my Momotaros haven't broken a single stitch yet.  But my Samurai jeans were a very slim fit and my Momotaro jeans are a relaxed fit.  So there's definitely more to it than just the thread or the company making the jeans.

            Couple fall pictures.  The camera doesn't really do the colors justice but you get the idea.  It's also cold as hell now, only 5 days left and I'm on my road trip back to my parents house to hide for the winter.

            This is at about 2k feet

            This is at about 1k feet

            And a shot with the jeans (cause that's what it's all about, right?)

                  **HWDC Challenges - Round 4

                  ​1) Scary Denim - As Halloween is almost upon us, show how terrifying you can be in your jawns with a truly shocking denim pic. Don't be shy on the blood and gore.

                  1. Changing Seasons Denim - Up here in the Northern hemisphere the seasons are changing from summer to Autumn/ Fall, whereas the Southern hemisphere is looking forward to Summer. Capture and image that best represents the changing seasons to you and your jeans.

                  2. Denim Vs Food - This one is dead simple, take your denim out for some epic eats (or at home) and capture the experience for us all to share with you.

                  Challenges end on 27/01/14.**

                    missed out on challenge number 3 (though i had enough chances to do the beer/shot challenge), but number 4 sounds dead easy to me 😉

                      After about 4 months I'm finally getting some evo on my MBBs. And some stitching issues on the pocket.
