      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?

          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

                      Package arrived today, these are really soft. Is the indigo 21oz the same way?

                        I feel like it is even a bit softer.

                                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?

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

                                            @Max Power I'm kind of on the fence about hemming; honestly I wanted to try something completely different with what I'm used to. It keeps things fresh and exciting 🙂

                                            @seul @Onairda thankz guys
