Spent today installing new kitchen cabinets in one of our flips and brought Punk with us. Got my 888-NT back from Rain on Saturday and it feels great having them back.

A few close ups. I'm glad to be in a jean that isn't going too fast for once. I've walked a lot and hiked a bit in these, and they actually seem like the first jeans for me that will have any indigo left at 2 years.

Lol. Not trying to, and sorry if that came off dickish. It's more a compliment for IH than anything. I'm pretty active and hard on my shit, and I hadn't had IH bottoms until recently. This is the last pair I was wearing after 12 and then 13-14 months, shortly before they blew out massively.
:This is the only pair that ever "survived" 2+ years for me. These only made it because my wife put dozens of repairs into them. After that, she basically said that she didn't have much interest in repairing jeans that much again and I should just get a new pair when they're shredded. So, it's nice to have a pair that seems like it might go slower and hold up for two years without total implosion.

Not dickish at all. Plenty of people around here can say they're jealous, me included.

Haha. For reference, I wore those daily for 25 months, hiked Kilimanjaro in them, and wore them skiing a bit over 100 times. If I recall correctly, they would have been done at 15 months or so without all the repairs. Still, much better than the super poorly made Onis, above, which had minor tears at 1-2 months and massive crotch damage at something like 6. The Onis had a killer fit, but the durability wouldn't even hold up to the average average department store jeans. Comparing Samurai to IH, the IH fit is better, and I'm more impressed with the IH construction, but those Samurai 710s (standard 17 oz pair) do fade well and quickly, if that's what you're after. For reference, here's the same pair at 11 months, when they were at their most contrasty:

Here are my IhxVs777 at 52 days with one initial hot soak. As above, hard to see anything from afar, but there are some highlights up close…
Patch treated with Dr. Bronners lip balm of all things after soak.
Also the 526J-DD at 8 wear days. Hard to count wears on that as I do wear it most days, but only for short periods. Have started wearing it as a top layer over technical clothing for hiking adventures. This photo was taken on the summit of Larimer County Peak 9740.

Update via instagram. 20ish days in the Peanut Pants. Totally slacking on wear.

Keep on wearing them. Fades are starting to look great.
