IH666S

I LOVE this denim..

[waffles]

Hi, I decided to do a few squats the other day on my first wear and heard a small tear. A few threads along the inseam at the base of the crotch have loosened. Not a crazy amount, but enough for me to wonder if this could be a problem. I did my best with the pics.

It's ok
My Gf's pair r the same. There won't be any problems.

[waffles]

haha thanks. i don't know why this had me so worried.

from the pic looks like it's missing a bar tack. or does the devils fit don't have it to start with?

[nietenhosen]

as my 666 arrived, I missed that bartack, too.
after twelve days of wear I noticed this:


one seam has loosened in the crotch… disappoining.
but it doesen't matter, just took a needle and stitched that together. now it's rugged again.

nietenhosen: i wouldn't worry about that, there is no pressure on that stich line as it's under the top stich.

This is how my friend Sulu described his new 666s jeans to the local newspaper…

"Iron Heart Jeans

These are a 40th Birthday present from my very good friend Hemi Pou. These are premium Japanese denim jeans and for denim aficionados there is nothing else. Wearing and breaking in a brand new pair of these is akin to making unconditional and glorious love to a virgin. Apparently."

... he is a little disturbed!

Is it too late to redesign the forum tee?

The true beauty of Iron Heart is that you could have forgone the stitching and kept wearing them with no notice of any large tears beginning or anything because though that stitching broke, they are put together to be able to withstand a cannon blast at close range while strapped with dynamite sipping a molotov cocktail and counting to 3 with a nuclear warhead detonator in the pocket. Iron Heart will not fall apart, at all. i created a little tear on my 634s-b and the jeans have had that now going on a month or so, no damage really done thus far. will fix it later perhaps if it becomes a problem. anywhoo, glad you repaired them yourself, real men use needles and thread.

We are making all future Devil's Fit with a bar tack at the crotch.  If anyone out there has a pair without the bar tack and would like one applied, we will do it free of charge.

Just PM me.

Hey Giles,

(First post w00t) Just wondering if you know if  the batch that self edge will be getting will have the bar tack at the crotch?

Thanks!

[Beatle]

screw the bar tacks - I want double stitched right and left of the crotch, those are the threads that break

Yep

Can someone explain to me what a bartack is, with pix preferably…

[Beatle]

check ur crotch. where inner seam and seam from button fly run together…(basically where top block and legs meet...the bar tack is the reinforced stitching over those 4 layers of denim..)

OK, clear, thanks a lot, Beatle (love your vids btw)
