Quick photo… it's been a couple months since I have an update because I was without my jeans for a month due to repairs. Here's at least something until April 1st.

~4 months daily wear

What repairs? Or did you alter them?

There was some darning near the crotch seam that I needed done because of a hole (maybe the size of an eraser from No. 2 pencil), and a soon-to-be hole near the fly.

I did alter them, but that only took a few days.

Actually I sent it to IH, and once they assessed the location of the problem, said sending it to Japan would be the best plan of action, which is why it took so long getting them back. 100% worth the wait. They look like no issues were ever present in the first place. To be honest, I forgot how awesome these things feel. So comfy and they're still a little stiff because they've only been hand washed twice. I can't wait for a year to pass.

Did the yellow stitching on the seam come undone? Mine did and I did my best to
Repair it but I think it’ll need more work in the future. Inhiglighterd the area of your photo that ik referring to. Thanks

Here is the original image of the damage. I could stick a pencil in there and have it come out the other side. Ita not that apparent because of the fraying and fuzz.

Another month in the 888-NTs and they’re getting close to needing some reinforcing in the crotch thanks to my thunder thighs. Still the most comfortable fit I’ve ever had.

alrighty, 6 weeks from the last post a few soaks, last one was a week ago.  I'm not doing well with my wanting of a weekly soak schedule, maybe once every two, just too busy.  During the week because of school and work I'm getting like 5 hours of sleep and then catching up some on the weekends.  It's killing me, lol    only 7 weeks of school left, then a summer semester in June, then a little time to relax before we start up in mid-August again.

Anyway, jeans are progressing, here are the pics.  Hope everyone is doing well!

@fanya  your DWC2 jeans are looking good. Starting to have some nice fades going on. What size are they?

[Fadez]

Here’s an update. Finally starting to shed some overdye and show some indigo underneath. Happy fading

[fanya]

@twin 30, the smallest I've ever ordered and I definitely couldn't get in anything smaller in this cut, the thighs make it difficult to get in and out of on a daily basis

@Fadez I've never been a huge fan of OD but those actually make me want to get a pair, looking great
