IH not harder wearing than others?

[Captain]

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.

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

[Beatle]

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.

[Beatle]

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:

now thats a nice crotch shot

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...

I never had a single pair of jeans crotch-damaged, even after years of wearing and even the lamest of them. I think it depends on the owner. Everyone has his crucial points. Mine are knees and pockets.
