    Also, I've been wearing my first pair of 634S for over three years now, and they're very nicely faded. The fades aren't forced. They really are from whatever I've doing, and however I'm living. Oh no! a cell phone fade! A wallet fade! A weird blob fade from where I keep my keys in the left pocket. A weird fade where I scratch my balls every day. I also wash them whenever they're dirty, smelly, or feel grimy. I just don't give a fuck. They're Iron Hearts, and they can withstand a fucking washing machine.

      I've got one of those on the right side in every pair of jeans I own.  I kinda love it.

        The only hole in this pair so far is in the pocket bag. Kevlar pocket bags would be awesome, right? I keep thinking about patching it with leather. I'm all over the place right now. I've had some sushi and a Scotch.

          Sounds like you're primed for a good stream o'consciousness yourself!!

            Yup! I'm feeling a little ranty and chatty at the same time. #whisky

                Same here. I wash em when the are dirty and/or stinky. It can take 2-6 months. One time I washed after 1 week after the last wash, because a kid at the Kindergarten thought it was a good idea to play with his soup, well…
                No soaks, I wash em. Back in the days, my first selvedge Levis, I put em in the freezer, think what you want, they smelled better 😃

                  That pretty much sums it up for me on the topic of washing [emoji3]

                    I've spent the last couple of days entertaining two American guests from my companies parent company, based in Los Angeles, who amazingly came over to learn from my vast experience ( 😉 ). One of the dudes was a senior technical guy who was really interested in my jeans and boots, so over a few beers I told him all about the denim scene and where he could go to look at/ buy this stuff in LA (Self Edge etc…). He spent the following night in his hotel trawling Google and learning about the denim scene, and also worryingly looking into what I do ( :-\ ), net result of which is a free trip to LA for me later in the year under the illusion of "inspecting a production line".....sweet  😃

                        Yeh I thought so, although the conversation started because he asked me what was wrong with the arcs on my Levis'  😠 (I was wearing Samurai's at the time).

                        When we went out for beers I was wearing my 555's and the IHSH-16 and my Wesco's, all of which super impressed him, his only prior experience of this kind of thing came through GAP and Red Wings.

                          Of course you'll spend so much at SE that it will feel as if you flew over in First Class and stayed in the presidential suite at the Ritz…

                              The best part is Gav can sabotage the movie set for whichever Spiderman movie is in production.

                                    Sweet ass, Mega. Just be careful not to spend so much on gear that it negates the "free" trip.
