Yeah, Kiya kept it pretty much to himself about this. It was apparently a birth defect. It's either do the surgery now or die "later". Think he is doing well now and recuperating. He literally has an "iron" heart!

Was listening to this 2005 Italian punk record by LE TORMENTA - great album. But I remembered there was a pro-animalrights video attached to one of the songs so here it is!.. Turn the sound down if you don't dig punk. To all you bloodmouths on here, I dare ya ::)

Was wearing this shirt and had Miss Snuggles with me as an armrest, but I made her close her eyes during the vid…

I'm starting to get a complex now, after viewing Beatle's and Evilcrayon's jeans in the evo section. I tried as much as I could to talk myself out of it, but I insisted on hot-soaking my IH 301S (in the bathtub) for no apparent reason today. They are currently out on my back patio drying in occasional glimpses of sun, post-rain.

Why ? Why ? Why did I have to do this ? I am growing impatient. I want some evo beauty to pop out of these jeans. I've washed/tumble-dried them once (right after purchase, which I always do). And I've worn these for about 2 months straight now…but last year, I wore them another 2+ months straight as well. So, these jeans easily have 4-5 months of continual wear in them. They're still damp in these photos but my evo is fucking lame. Oh, and guess what ? During the soak, I lost little indigo...I mean, there was no blueness in the water. But the worst part was -- the water wasn't even dirty ! Like, I could barely fucking detect anything...it was a little brownish-greyish, but that's it. These jeans remain, much to my frustration and chagrin, practically new-looking.

I don't really get too excited about wallet fades because they're relatively easy to get. It's the rest of the jeans -- the legs, the knees, etc...which excite me when they turn. But mine virtually haven't !

those are iron hearts for you… its okay i feel the same way about my 1634's

and there is evo. i think a pair of iron hearts worn hard with intense evo for half a year to a year is no better or worse than a pair worn for many years with slower evo.

iron hearts are meant and built to last so theres no shame in slow evo because each pair is unique and so is each person's lifestyle

Thanks cows. And wanna know something ? (I'm sure you already know…) -- Sugar Cane Okis and Hawaiis are MUCH WORSE. They're way-y more stubborn than even Iron Hearts IMHO. Wouldn't surprise me if Sugar Cane Okis and Hawaiis even last longer than IH...longer than you want them to last (so you can justify buying new jeans) ! I wore my Sugar Cane Okis for 2 months straight and they still look brand new. Don't even have wallet fades.

^ my 634S-B's I've been wearing for a little over 50 days and they already have some pretty defined combs, atari fades on the back pockets & belt loops, wallet fade, front pocket embossment (FML!!!! FRONT POCKET FADEZZZZ), whiskers pretty much set and a repair that has been made on my right knee (told you there would be a hole in these things before 4 months Simon*626)

And I have yet to start riding my bike. Once I add that to the mix, I'll have a pretty dope looking pair of 21ozers! But keep it up shubbz, its all about being mean to your jeans. Running up, popping them in the mouth for talking back, spitting on their open wounds and cutting their eye-lids off and feeding them nothing but sleeping pills. The change of color will come, if you will it….

super random..almost lost my se feather ring this morning - thought of Giles' . So I literally jumped in the trash bin and retrieved it - felt like a bum - but what do you know, worth the dive…

Giles

Yeah, mine was never found, but I got a restock from Kiya, so one of them ended up on my finger….G

Beatle

Lucky you…I had to take a bath...

Giles

Love the stubble Kiya.

So gald you are back in the thick of it…G

Kiya. Ouch. You're very brave, but then again…did you have much choice in the matter ?

Beatle

super tough, K, hang in there..and you know , take it easy….

On the plus side Kiya, now you can clean your arteries and ventricles when they are full of gunk from all of those gourmet hamburgers you so enjoy demolishing. Haha
