IH not harder wearing than others?

[injunjack]

how much did you size down?

[Captain]

@injunjack:

yup, he's swede…

nah, kiddin' aside. jeans worn real tight, so that they don't come "up" properly will cause crotchblow pretty soon.

my Lee 1001Z's blew crotch after first wash when I sat down legs quite apart and my jawns weren't properly "seated".

What do you mean by "come up"?

They dont sag if thats what you mean (slim waist and heavy legs make jeans sit tight but as supposed on me)

[injunjack]

I mean they sag a bit in the crotch area, if too tight. That causes abnormal abrasion…

From Sweden ey?.. This must be the Nudies CEO or something…

On the contrary, Nudie must be the crappiest piece of denim ever made (save Cheap Monday, my nations pride…). But I got ten years of denim junkiedom now, and I have yet to see a pair of jeans lasting a year. Thought IH could be the first brand to offer a one year warranty, but I'll guess not.

i was thinkin along the same lines,,there is no way u  can kill off a pair of 634s and 9301s in such a way/short space of time,unless the Nudie mindset/logic was seriously applied,even then it would be hard goin

[Beatle]

…seriously, that hole you have there has zero fraying, unless my eyes are mistaken. never seen anything like it

[Captain]

Some of the loose threads were cut off/burned away when repaired. The hole on the picture is more "getting holier" than fraying away.

[Beatle]

did you buy these use or new ?

[Captain]

New

[Beatle]

how long ago ?

[Captain]

Last summer.

Was ripped come October

[Seul]

I guess the whole board will just agree to disagree with you concerning the quality on our beloved jeans…

[Beatle]

Solution - back to Levis it is. If those lasted you longer, that's what you might have to wear.

Just lucky that it's the other way around for me and the rest of the IH stubborn crew…

[Captain]

Dont get me wrong, after getting hooked on IH, every other garment I try on feels like a paper tissue in comparison. But between all the raving about IH-superbness, I thought I raise some concern. Tough - yes. Toughest - up to debate.

And I dont want go back to Levis, I like it when my oufit boosts my BMI.

[Seul]

That's all good, lad, you are of course entitled to do so… But I've seen some lads here abuse their IH gear/ jeans to the max and they still didn't experience what you have...

Maybe re-enforce the crotch area prior to start doing whatever the hell it is you do in your jeans (taming unicorns made out of sandpaper perhaps?)... 

[madmonday]

seul u are a funny guy.

@ capt your outfit boasts your BMI, hahahahahahahaha

i've no comment or insight that hasn't been discussed on the destruction of your denim, but it would be nice to get you to post more once you get your camera situation worked out.

you are so tough on your denim i would love to watch how the hell you make it happen. hell you could even join a World Tour or something along those lines.  i for one would sign up

Anyway I need a new pair of pants. Thinking about sizing up one in 301s, might that help?

Actually got some good ideas for Haraki on how to reinforce their jeans, making it Captain-proof.

(And perhaps its the girls' constantly grabbing my crotch making it rip, you know IH is trés sexy.. ;))

[Guest]

if ya got girls grabbing yer crotch,,get em to file their nails

Here's a close up of one of the girl's hands Captain was talking about:
