IHxB01sbgII - Beatle Buster 21oz Selvage Denim Super Black Fades to Grey

[whoRichard]

Considering that the SBG I thread is dead, I will post my first SBG BB's here! They are 2 years old with about a year of heavy wear! These have been decommissioned for sometime due to a crotch rip. In regards to that, how could I minimize my chance of a crotch rip? I usually wear my pants a little lower than my waist and I'm assuming that plays a part (correct me if I'm wrong). Pertaining to crotch rips, how would I be able to be proactive about it? My 9634z's have a crotch rip 10 days into wear….. Absolutely ridiculous. Please help me with some suggestions/tips.

(sorry fro the dark pic)

If you are prone to crotch blow outs/crotch rips, I am afraid they will happen whatever you wear.  It depends upon the shape of your upper thighs.  I am super tough on jeans but have never blown a crotch in my life, but I know people who can shred a crotch in 2 weeks.  The propensity to do so increases with Iron Heart because the denim is thicker and thus there is increased friction.

But if it is going to happen a stitch in time works wonders, waiting until you can gat a baseball through the hole is probably leaving it a little late…..

So probably for the 9634z's since it's heavier than say my Sams but the fit is kinda the same it just creates more friction. When sending them to SELA, should I ask them to reinforce the 9634z so when they fix the hole and I do manage to blow another hole through my pants it's just the patch behind the reconstruction when they do rip? Does washing your jeans more often help with blowouts as well or is that merely myth?

[Giles]

I personally think yes washing helps.  The 9634Z denim is pretty stiff, so that will contribute to rips too.  You can ask them to reinforce, but it is a double edged sword, the reinforcement will make them thicker!

I appreciate your insight Giles! Honestly the 9634z stands at the top of my list for my favorite pair of jeans

Just ordered these in a 35" from @Danny RnH. @Giles do you know if they're the mark II he's got at the shop?

[neph93]

@Giles - Forget it… just found the mark 1's on the forum and noticed difference in stitching. We're all good.

[KrisB]

What's up guys, it's been awhile since I've posted on this forum.

Here's my DTWC fit  ::)
