      You might want to look at the outseam lengths as well. That would be the length from the top of the waistband all the way down to the hem. That should help factor in the different rise on different cuts. If you wear different cuts at a different point, (waist vs. hips) that would affect things too.

      Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

        @Mizmazzle I've been a cuff guy for 15 or so years, but now I know I can get lifetime repairs on my IHs, I'm considering moving over to the hemmed side.. always viewed jeans as disposable, when the crotch blew out, or the cuff started to fall apart, I'd move onto the next pair.

        Now I feel more inclined to prioritise longevity...

          @T4920 this is exactly how I feel. Plus, I’m referring to my XHSbb which won’t be made again and is most def my favorite denim. I feel every decision that effects it must be made with the most careful of considerations haha

              @popvulture I hear what you and @matt are saying with the wabi. I’m more in the camp of wabi + great fit= holy fuck that’s badass!

              Of course this is all subjective and through the eyes of the individual. I’m more trying to beat up my XHSbb while somehow simultaneously preserving their rarity.

                With lifetime repairs you can fix whatever happens to them.

                  The very reason to buy all gear direct from Gosport.

                    @Mizmazzle Someone can correct me if I’m wrong,but I don’t think that it matters where you purchased your IH gear in order to participate in the repair program.

                      @Jett129 ah! This is an interesting postulation. I know they don’t hem for free if you bought the jeans elsewhere. Guess I kinda figured the free repairs were the same policy.

                        It’s a good question. I guess I hadn’t considered it before.

                              Will the relaxed fit ducks ever come back?
                              I think it was the 801 or 816 fit. With the 6/7/8 fits getting restocked, left me wanting…

                                  Anyone had a pocket repaired? On my No Lots, it tore away from the seam at the top of the jean, and then proceeded to rip down the center of the pocket to shreds.

                                  I’ve managed to just not use that pocket, but I’d like it back in action.

                                      Yeah that doesn’t seem like damage, just a “handy” mod.

                                        @jordanscollected this is the repeating damage I get to my jeans as well. I never get crotch blow outs or anything like that. But my pocket bags always start to tear away in the spot you described. And always the right pocket for some reason. Odd. My wife has some sewing skills and has repaired this for me by sewing the pocket bag back into place.
