Good stuff

Had some problem with a loose stitching on my 666s Giles sent them to Japan and then back to me free of charge. Really outstanding service.

@Jordan23:

But that's not standard!

Enjoy ya addiction!

It likely should be though!  Anyone producing such quality should have enough pride in what they do to stand behind it like so. G & H get a lot of respect from me for their uncompromised standards. I would hope such someday again becomes the real "new standard".

Time to retire these….to tattered for my taste

[Seul]

What d'you mean "Too tattered for my taste"?.. They just need some small repairs!.. They're looking so good!..

[sabergirl]

Seriously.  I would wear those into their grave.  Or mine, whichever came first.

[Snowy]

I'd be getting ready to frame that pair, beautifully worn. Might put them back on before heading into a grave tho

[Haddtoo 555]

I've never worn a pair of pants this far into ground…..my mother would spin in her grave if she knew her son has holes in his jeans:)
Perhaps I'll take them Self Edge SF

Fix list

Pocket bags, hems with a new chain stitch, holes, crotch and back pocket seam, a few small repairs.

Loving my 1st pair of 666 XHSs. I got W34 and they stretched so (after getting some 634 XHSs in W32 which I also love), I hankered for smaller 666 XHSs and went on down to Peggs and Son in Brighton (as IH is out of W32 and W33s) and picked up a couple of pairs of 666 XHSs in W32. Now the battle has begun, though my bruised fingers are recovering!

The next pics show the W34 666s after 1 months wear, the 634 XHSs after 2 and 3 day's wear each and a pair of 666s still with tags on.

I just love the reinforcements on the 666 XHSs: belt loops attached to the waistband, selvedge fly reinforced strips, extra gauge constructional stitching, reinforced front pockets and lined rear pockets. I need them all! Here I am at war with my W32 666 XHSs on Day 2!

And for completeness, here is the missing pic of the W34 666 XHSs on Day 8.

Jesus…4 new pairs of 25oz's, you my friend have taken on quite a challenge.

[madmonday]

jeansman, i salute your knowing what you like & jumping in. . . . but you are crazy, hahahahaha

[jdl1279]

4C,
I can't get out of them. The belt/wallet combo is perfect for me, and the denim is spectacular! One could blame the crew, as I have run out of reasons…...

5 counting the ones I was wearing!

I'm always on a quest for the perfect pair of jeans, and now I've discovered 25 oz, may be I've found them (although I've already suggested a few modifications to Giles!)?

It usually takes a number of years for my jeans to fade, because I have a very large selection and so I don't get to wear each pair for long enough. My most faded pair at present are a pair of Valencia Street 1955 LVCs made in 1996. Luckily I can now wear jeans every day for work. Unless the 666 XHSs loosen up enough to avoid comment, I guess it'll be the 634 XHSs at work which I can alternate to air and not to wash.  When I'm not at work, it'll be the tight 666 25oz. When they're tight I am compelled to go on wearing them to loosen them up!
