Sitting here with broken thumbs - I thought y’all were joking about the pliers….

25oz + pliers = buttons open up

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Doubt you’ll catch me standing at a urinal wearing these anytime soon. Private stalls for me….

It really works, though. Shove a pair of needle nose through there, and move 'em around real good.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Working on it! Great tip, thanks gents

I only had problems with my first pair of 555XHS and then always lucky, maybe a little effort when I wear them wet after soaking, I usually use a pen to widen them a little, I only used the pliers on two pairs of 33oz from another brand, thank goodness for that, I have severe tendinitis on both thumbs and hard buttons sure don't help

I must say I’ve never had any problems with neither my 777-XHS nor my 777-XHSib. But maybe I was just lucky with the buttonholes. After all the jeans are handmade so no hole is created equal I guess. I still have major issues with one buttonhole in my trucker 526PJ that I still struggle to button up even after two years.

[FlavourFade]

Same for me... My XHSib buttons never gave me headache

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Sitting in a bathtub wearing these things for my initial soak, about to head out for a walk in the sun. It’s wild - the trapped air bubbles can only escape through the button fly or cuffs, the weave is that heavy and tight. Fucking champ & mint

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Maybe that’s normal for denim, but I can’t recall ever being in this position…..

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot champ!

[Luijim78]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot honestly it's the part I like least of the whole process, every time to remove them I have to call my mother and my partner , last week I soaked 4 pairs of XHS and risked having my right foot amputated

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot bubblin champ haha

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@Luijim78 the legend grows with every story I hear about your mum

[Luijim78]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot sooner or later they will report me for elder abuse ... I must say that she has much more strength than me, I could make a fortune if I decided to make a video and published it on YouTube

Still wearing them almost every other day.

This was on the day when we found the big White Oak tree.

[Oaktavia]

[twin]

@Oaktavia High & dry.
