35 fuck!!!!

I am not a fan of the cracking honeycombs. Anyone got any tips of how to avoid them.
I have soaked them 5 times. Perhapps I have not agitated them enough during the soaks….?

Anyone got any tips on how to repair them. I have tried with a needle and thread. Just to adding some stitches by hand to prevent the cracks to grow. I also used my mothers sewing machine at one point. Picked the wrong colour and I was not very pleased by my results.

anyway I am not sure it worked. Seems like new cracks are appearing after every soak.

They are still wet in the pictures above. 248 days. 5 Soaks.

I get cracks on many Jeans as well, don't do anything to them and have no problems that way. But I would not know how to prevent or fix it, sorry. The slimmer the cut, the more likely it seems to get these cracks, at least in my collection.

[Giles]

That looks like to me they were worn for too long without a decent first wash/soak.  This typically happens when there is too much stiffness/starch left in the jean when first wearing them.  Nothing you can do to retro fix I am afraid….

[nizzel55]

Waited 124 days for the second soak. I think I was bad at agitating the jeans during the first two soaks.

I would´t give a damn. These look great!

Sorry. Only got paint on my computer. If I had photo shop I could do it properly.
I might get it and fix it. If I get the time.

I sure hope you entered that 1st pic in the 5-year anniversary competition.  Brilliant.

[daynym]

Nizzel. Your jeans look great, foshizzle.

[501IH]

Strongly agree with Daynym, these are denim porn! Plus of course great stuff with your letters, IH might use this for commercial purposes. Don't forget to charge them if they do!

Spamming?!?!?! :o No way! Your jeans define this thread. Keep up the nice work Nizzle.

[grabby22]

Your jeans look amazing Nizzle!

[fanya]

Nizzle your jeans are awesome!

On the cracking issue, I think it's a waiting too long before the jeans see water.  As Giles said, very stiff, high wear points.  Water is good, it hydrates things, cotton needs hydration, I only have one very small spot on my MMBs but they saw water within 6 weeks, the 23oz ones have a couple spots and they were 4.5 months till they got this first soak/wash

New to the forum. and looking to buy some 666s!

Quick question: Anyone here worn TFH 3001s as well as 666s, and willing to do a little comparison? i'm currently wearing the 3001s and i like the fit a lot.. But they're pretty worn down and starting to get a little too sung on me. I wouldn't mind a slightly more relaxed look, but want to stick with the slim straight.

Online measurements for the 666s seem to be all over the place. Especially at Self Edge, it seems like the waist measurements are real large compared to the thigh measurements. they have a tagged 33 running 35.5 inches in the waist. the Iron Heart site says a 33 should be 33 inches? any thoughts?

[Seth]

I suspect IH UK and Self Edge might measure differently. Or the jeans might be from different batches. You can send either retailer an email telling them what you want and ask them to measure a couple pairs of that size to get the one closest to what you want.
