So, what do you think, should I have the other side of the crotch repaired and get more use out of these, or call it quits on them and move on to my next pair?
Thanks!
I've had jeans repaired multiple times in a lot worse state than this. If you like them, fix them. If you're in the US then use Rain at Indigo Proof. She's a goddess when it comes to this kind of thing. https://www.indigoproof.com

yeah repair them if you still like them and they are comfy.

I have this same issue with my 21oz 633s, my all time favorite pair. I had them darned in the crotch and they are so uncomfortable they are almost unwearable.

Inbound, though we have the black already….
@Giles Hi G, inbound as in 'shipped' or 'being produced/shipped anytime now' ? I'd love a tan.

After my last wash on my 33T I noticed a spot that showed up after. I am not really sure what to do about it. It's not bad, but I don't really want it getting out of control. Whats the thoughts on what to do? If anything..
Its where the large arrow is pointing. Im assuming it happened in the wash.

Wabi sabi and all that. Have it darned if you’re worried it will get worse. Railcar fine goods does a lovely darning job

The shirt's looking great. I'd say just keep on working away on the graceful evo and it'll distract attention away from the spot just fine.

Thanks for the input/conformation!!
Yeah, I’m going to ignore it. Just adds to the shirt.

Here's one… Why is the modified 17oz Duck Type III ten bucks cheaper than the _un_modified 17oz Duck Type III? If the only real difference is the added hassle of manufacturing pockets, then I don't know how that extra step results in a cheaper garment. I imagine it's probably just a result of left-over pricing standards vs newer pricing standards, but it just struck me as a little weird!

Shhhh….. [emoji2958]
But I’d imagine you’re right. Initially the modded version was extant and the trad endangered (although the IHJ-46 has subsequently been restocked), they were also released at different times.
There may well be some «standardising» now [emoji23]

Looks like a bit of loom movement during the weaving process produced some unintended slub by dropping a warp thread. The washing may have puffed up the exposed weft, drawing your attention to it.
I’d also be in the «wabi-sabi/minor flaws are fun» camp. I have something similar on my IH-888-UHR, IH-666L-19 and IHSH-33 and generally enjoy the imperefections in otherwise flawless product. It gets on some peoples tits though.

@neph93 I am regularly amazed by your native-level command of English. Were you raised in an English-speaking environment or something?
…and thanks for your thoughts on the 17oz Duck Type III pricing anomaly!

Ah… you’re the second person to understandably walk into that trap. I’m a British national with English as a first language. I also teach it at high school. Not so impressive now, is it [emoji23]
Been living with the barbarians for twenty years though so it’s a miracle I can still write a decent sentence to be honest [emoji6]

Ahh, OK! That makes more sense now. You're right. Upon reflection… Not impressive at all

Was there talk of a waterproof/anorak, possibly F/W 2019?
If so, is there any info/pics that I may have missed.
I have a vague recollection there was a sketch on Boss talk. -
Oooohh…..exciting. Obviously being in the UK that is a much needed bit of kit. looking forward to more onfo.Thanks @Alex

@Alex That has been the only thing missing from the IH resume as far as I'm concerned, a decent waterproof hooded outers shell. It looks perfect.
