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.

@jordanscollected Ya gotta stop playing “Pocket Pool” …Couldn’t resist.

@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.

@jordanscollected @JoshC has done some pocket bag repairs. Fill out the repairs form online with some pics and he’ll get back to you!

thanks Gang. I knew immediately that the first comments would be about pocket pool, so I was mentally prepared. I'll reach out to Josh with the pics. Thanks Alex

Hi everyone, excited to be here. Have a question on my 634s: Will this pointy area between the two rear pockets flatten out with wear? They fit perfectly apart from this, but I just wonder if they will start to drape properly with wear and resolve over time?

It should relax some if they are new. Looks like you just have TBS. Tiny butt syndrome.

Gave them a hot wash at 40c and it sorted it, fit perfectly now. Ty

@endo I've not seen any II's with hand warmers, doesn't mean they aren't out there

Does anyone have any experience with waxing an N1? I'm thinking of giving my washed indigo a layer of weather protection.
Here's mine after I washed it, the marbling has toned down since then as the fading became more even.

@Nik I found this post quite helpful the other day, but haven't tried it:
@M800sct1 said in IHM-37-BLK - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Black:
Hey Guys. Not jumpin on this as I've already got too many Winter Jackets including another N1 unfortunately, with my work as a Mountain Guide. My main reason for posting is I see a few posts regarding re-waxing.
I've re-waxed many Jackets and Rucksacks etc, over the Years including my other Whipcord N1 and a couple of Heavy Carhartt Bartlett's during my Years in Guiding and I would suggest that a much better way to re-wax than Liquid Belstaff or Barbour is to use the Block Wax by either Fjallraven or Otter Wax. Rub this on by hand until well coated and then melt in with a Heat Gun. 2 Coats will be a plenty which will take a couple of hours max and the finished result will be better than the original in every way. I guarantee you! It's fantastic, easy to do and will provide an improved appearance and performance, even from new!! Best of luck Waxer's. Remember, "Wax On, Wax Off"
Or in this case, "Wax On, Wax In"@M800sct1 Want to chime in?

@Nik I'm eager to see the results if you try waxing the N1. I have some wax/oilskin from Schnee's and I tried waxing a cotton work shirt I have and it took way more wax than i thought it would to get it waxed properly (I never ended up getting it remotely water resistant).
-
I'll document if I do it. I'm thinking a heat gun is a necessary tool for the job, seems like a hair dryer won't do it alone.
