      Updated pictures after 500+ days of wear in the following Fade-Friday feature over at heddels :P:

      In the meantime they have become pretty comfortable/sweatpants-like after beeing stiff as hell for years. Luckily I did not give up :-\

          The crotch was ripped, so they needed another wash bevor visiting the taylor. Here they are clean and repaired at wear day 620. Looking forward to the winter season to wear them on a frequent basis again 😛

              Thank you @Appfaff. The LHT is really something special. So sturdy to start with but now it has an almost velvet like touch and became insanely soft.

                By now I need to hand them over to my tailor almost every month. Maybe it‘s time to focus on a new project soon. I guess, they could have survived even longer, if I would have gone for a more relaxed fit.  Anyway: 720 days of wear and somehow I am not ready to give up on them yet.  ::)

                        @Appfaff: I used to bring the Jeans to the closest tailor from my home during the last years. That‘s the result:

                        It does the job, but doesn’t look really neat. Somehow I‘m worried that others might refuse to take care of them now and clean up all the mess which has been done to them.

                          @beef_bonanza maybe you ought to trade them in and treat yourself to a new pair?  🙂

                            @Filthy might be an option, if anyone is interested (I thought as the fabric is not used in other jeans and was done by SE, it might be not of interest for IHUK). I still have a few more jeans in the waiting line for heavy rotation (among them: PIH5DCT and 555-03)…but yeah, a new pair is always an option

                              My thoughts were, if you were to have Rain repair them, it would be an extensive repair… like probably over a $150 (just speculation) and that is if you are lucky enough to get on her wait list (that opens April 1st and I am not sure of what time...).  Or you could trade them in and put the repair money towards a new pair. They are very awesome jeans. Maybe Kiya might want them framed and hanging in a store somewhere. 😄

                              But you have 2 other pairs so I'd just wear those.

                                You are completely right. I think the repair cost + the shipping back and forward (Germany-US-Germany) are not reasonable anymore. I‘ll wear them as long as possible and then off to a new pair. Especially as I would also not buy this fit again which I liked 7 years ago (or at least size up) It‘s too restricting combined with the stiffness of the fabric.

                                    I‘ll have to get pics up. The 555-03 is also close to 300 days 😃 I prefer to have less pants but wear them out completely.

                                      One other thought I just had. If you do give them to someone and they frame them, please request they frame them backside out. 👌

                                        Framing for my own apartment could also be an option :-
                                        But if someone is willing to hang my old jeans up his wall I‘d leave it up to them.

                                        I just consider to keep the local repairs going until at least one of the knees pops through…

                                          A couple of pics before they get a wash and off for repairs again.
