@nemesisnow1200:

how dya wear  out yer 634s crotch in 6months,,,,ya got sandpaper on yer bikeseat,shame they thinned out,,but u must have beat the shit out of them :o

Actually changed my bikeseat to new smooth leather one as I first suspected it to trash my jeans.

I've also been told that waiting too long between washes is bad for jeans (the grime and dirt being abrasive), but two months between washes (until broken in) is not extremely long, seems that most of do follow a similar washing pattern.

u must have the biggest wedding tackle going,,didnt realize 634s got that tight in the crotch area,mine are a 31 waist,,and i got plenty of dangleberry space,but my DC4001s are a differnet matter lol,the waiting a long time b4 washing aint that good fer the jeans,they jus need soaking everynow and again,shame to hear that yer 634s are sufferin :o

Another thing I've noticed is that the warp and weft is rather loosely wound compared to other denim, so that when a hole develops, the warp/weft is unravelling much faster than ordinary denim.

[Guest]

loosely wound,,,blimey u must have got yer hands on a suspect pair(doubt it,apologies if that comment offends)

The one small hole I had - and fixed by placing a patch of denim on the inside - stayed about the same size for another 3 months. In other words - weaving extremely solid.

Oh, btw , Captain, would be great to see some pics of the jeans you're talking about…

[Guest]

need to see pics,,of the jeans ,,not your crotch,,,methinks this thread is gonna insence some ppl

[that_was_easy]

I, too, am surprised by LVC outlasting IH, generally speaking…  My pair of SB denim is holding up like a champ through all kinds of abuse, including cycling.

@Beatle:

here's 365 days and crotch

now thats a nice crotch shot,,minimal damage,,considering the amount of wear,

[Guest]

damn ,,that came out wrong ..apologies to u Beatle

[Captain]

I've had my mom sow a patch of denim on the 9301s, but the hole kept growing so now I've got double patches (inside and out), bought me a month, but the denim is now unravelling next to the patches…

@nemesisnow1200:

Am I on the right forum?

[Guest]

sorry Giles,,,typed it b4 id thought about it lol

[Beatle]

lol, you are correct..technically speaking….lol

[Beatle]

Yeah, Captain, post some pics …

[Captain]

This is all I can do for now (9301):

Thats Mammas patch in the uppermost part. The hole is way bigger underneath the patch.

This after four months should qualify me as Quality Assurer at IH I reckon…

[Guest]

cant make out that pic to good m8

[Captain]

I know. Thats the most macro i can get.

Meeting a friend tomorrow with better camera

[Guest]

[Beatle]

looks like something is eating your denim….I am being dead serious - any chance you have some moths in your closet ? It's not unheard of...
