    @maxximum This is the highest wear spot on nearly all of my jeans. I get the same thing on every pair, especially when cuffed. You'd think my ankles click together with each step I take. When stacked, it doesn't wear thru as fast, but it does show wear first. Luckily its easy to stitch fix that spot with some heavy poly cotton thread.

      Yeah these things are tough as nails but pretty damn comfortable from the get go. I ride my bike to work, and this is work wear, so I’m getting lots of deep creases, behind the knees especially, right away.

        @maxximum no need for concern. That is entirely normal. It also takes a helluva lot more wear and tear before things actually start to fall apart. When they get close to that (certainly months away, possibly years, depending on use and abuse), then just get 'em repaired.

          Thanks @WhiskeySandwich and @neph93!
          I really enjoy this forum! It's just a friendly an so helpful place!

          Maybe concerned was the wrong word. It just caught my eye that the cuff seam seems to be the first area to give up with this heavy fabric.

            I have the 634-XHS and some crazy friction with my Wesco Boss put a hole in them within a month. All in the game…

                    @twin Why is the XHS not washed but the 21oz is? Is it the more hardcore nature of the material?

                      @jevans41 I do not know for sure. Ask this question to @Giles he will know.

                        Because when I came up with the 25oz idea, that is what I decided to do.....Bit of ringing the changes.....

                          @Giles Ah I see. Was the idea to get higher contrast fades? Or just go big/go home?

                            The fact that they have not been washed makes virtually no difference to how contrasty the fades will be, it's not like any of our denims are a wishy washy blue, we wash to take the sizing agents out of the denim and to make sizing more predictable. Haraki hates unpredictability. Another denim I specced, the original 18os raw, was unpredictable, I loved it but Haraki hated it (I gave up arguing with him, which is one of the reasons it is no more). The 25oz is sanforised but not washed, I just wanted to offer something a bit more like the denim experience of old. @alex and I have discussed the 18oz a lot and Alex will try his damndest to get it back as a constant offering.

                              These are really amazing. Probably 7-8 wears in after a hot soak and hang dry. I ride my bike to work and the creases are already amazing. No saggines in the butt, either. The whole conform to your body thing is real.

                              Can’t believe how much more comfortable they are now compared to straight out of the bag.

                                      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
