A funny story about these jeans. I wore them on New Years Eve. A friend came over who is always grabbing my butt (arse), and did so this evening or tried, but started screaming because she broke 2 fingernails in the process. I showed her the label, to try to explain the heavy weight of the jeans, so she took the photo. I think I cured her of doing this, and she is still complaining about her broken nails. -
Same jeans. These are one of my favorites. -
It has taken awhile to embrace this cut in this weight….pull them on and stay up all day....perfect top block for me,
Love the rise. Was to lazy to soak / hand wash last week...two weeks of grime....
Clean jeans to follow -
^^Sam/IH: I reckon for some that would be a sound reason NOT to wear these great jeans…
^ Haddtoo: cool to see these jeans this way. I often think the right degree of "grime" suits them fine, possibly better than total cleanliness! -
@501/IH : these work pants never get really clean with a hand wash, these have not been in a machine….my goal is clean enough to wear...I ground though the knee on my 666 xhs in no time from not keeping them clean....no sign of that kind of damage on this pair...still needed a crotch repair at 8 months even with weekly wetting....these have about 11 months of work wear on them.
-
I will continue to wear them, and hope they look like Haddtoo 555's soon.

Clean enough…hand wash

^Cooooool

Well, it's not as if I dig dirt per se. It's the whole package, the fade, the state of destruction, the "Gesamtkunstwerk". Genuine, honest dirt on a hard-used jeans can and in your case does add to it.
-
Can't believe how good that repair turned out !
-
@Haddtoo 555 selfedge?
-
@KrisB
Yes SESF -
Impressive repair job indeed. As if there never was any damage.
My only gripe is you shadowed out the fades so much….. -

I am so unbelievably stoked to be getting another pair of these again! Thanks so much @Axel and @Giles for accommodating my special request, and helping me find that right size!
I sized down one size, so the break in on these will be agonizing. But I think over the long run my experience with these has shown that sizing down is a good idea. After a month I always wish that I would have sized down on my other 2 pairs and even my new UHRs.
