IH not harder wearing than others?

[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

[Seul]

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

[Beatle]

you sure it's girls grabbing your crotch and not guys kicking you in the nuts cause they're jealous of your BMI ?

just kidding

[Captain]

@Seul:

I think he means female t-rexes…

..breaking them in being a favorite past-time of mine… Good fun, but hell for your jeans

[Guest]

ya cant kill IronHeart as quickly as Captain has,,,its got me so fekkin frazzled,,im pretty new to IH,but i can tell that these jeans can take serious abuse and survive,,there are way to many evo type photos to prove this

[Guest]

undercrackers made of sandpaper,,unfeasibly hairy and spiky gonads,,any other reasons fer premature crotch blowouts

[Beatle]

I know, think about the guy that is a mechanic and wear them every day at the garage, howling car parts whatnot all day.
whatever the deal with your crotch - it ain't a quality issue

[Seul]

Attaching a huge magnifying glass to your crotch and riding your horse into the sunset every day…
