Thanks @fanya. I really like where my pair is heading. However I am starting to get some cracking at the honeycombs. I get that in all my jeans for some matter. Even the ones I wash regularly. I might put som stitches there to keep them from spreading.

A little update from me….

[nizzel55]

IH666SII

2015-11-16 - 160 days 1st machine wash. 30 degrees and took them out before the spin cycle started.

Sadly the combs have started to crack on my right leg. I need to put some stitches into them to keep it at bay. they tend to crack on all my jeans. Even the ones I have washed alot.

I tried to take some photos yesterday of my pair and Enells pair. But we took the pictures during the afternoon when light was really bad.
The photos did not turn out very great. We need to redo it soon I think.
Anyway. Here are the picture.
Enell has soaked his pair one more time since last time and I have washed my pair in a machine (30 degrees).

Left: My pair 166 days (01 soak, 00 hand washes, 01 machine wash)
Right: @enell s pair 220 days (02 soaks, 00 hand washes, 00 machine wash)

Here they are compared to my IH666S - 424 days (08 soak, 00 hand washes, 04 machine wash)

Hey all, last week of school for the semester coming up, then I can sit for two weeks!

No washes in Nov, too busy, going to do one today they desperately need it.  Two of those annoying holes developed along a cuff crease line.  I went 1.9 years without getting those whole in my last pair of jeans but were soaked pretty much weekly for the most part.

Jacket is showing very slight signs of fading but nothing you can tell on a camera.  Tough denim.

Jeans look amazing.

Hope schools  going  well.

[louisbosco]

wow @fanya those are coming along really nicely… looks amazing.

Distinctive Denim
So far just this mark from a saw. If it ware not for the 32Oz denim there would be a big hole in my leg.

Here is the progress of my pair. 1 cold soak and 1 hot soak to get the size right. Had to use Obenauf oil on the patch after it became hard as a rock. These have been to two beer festivals, four states, brewed 3 beers, one tattoo and one minor motorcycle spill (not alcohol related fyi).
Cheers!
