Random questions to which you seek an answer

@popvulture I do wear a belt. But the seam of the pocket is well below the belt. I put my phone and wallet in my back pockets and never have had an issue with one of those pockets separating.
I’ve gotten pretty good at repairing the tears myself. But for the life of me can’t figure out why it keeps happening…and by the sounds of it, not much of a reoccurring issue with others.
The truly bizarre part of it is that before I discovered IH I always put my phone and keys in my front pockets. When I got into IH I didnt like the phone fades up front so I stopped putting stuff in those pockets. Never had this issue before..
-
@Mizmazzle man that’s so weird! Could just be the way your body creases at that particular place when you sit down or something? That’s the only thing I can really imagine. I don’t keep stuff in my front pockets either, save maybe a chap stick or my Subie key. No weird pocket issues to speak of.

lol whenever I do the shrug it always makes it a lady. It’s ok — I’m in touch with my feminine side!
-
@les-l can't go wrong either way. I'd do OD but that's just me

@Mizmazzle It has happened to me on my 666s but that is the wrong shape for my body, being a bigger lad, it didn't give me much room on the top block to get things in and out of my front pockets and having to shove my hands into the pockets which is what would probably cause it to rip over time, I have a pair of 888 and 1955's and it hasn't happen to them yet (1 and 2 years old), however because it used to happen to me all the time for me on my Nudie's when I worked there I do limit what I put in my front pockets, ( I now have the fear) I never stick my keys in the front pocket nor my wallet, as keys are the worst for causing rips and tears, I only put them in my back pocket or attach it to my belt loop.

@JoshC Well, let the mystery continue then....most of my cuts are the 888...and I'm a pretty slim dude so not alot of tension in that area...
@popvulture haha....that's a whole another random question topic....why does the shrug emoji always pop up as a lady when in the menu it's a man???

@Mizmazzle I'll regularly destroy pockets, but as a direct result of either the phone or keys.
In my case it seems like phone use eventually rips it at the upper seam (like pictured), while the keys tend to grind a hole in the bottom of the pocket bag.A bit of a mystery in your case, haha.
EDIT: I'll add that this isn't specific to IH jeans for me, happens to all jeans. In fact, Iron Heart pockets hold up better than most imo.

@JunkPants it’s odd for sure. I think putting my hands in my pockets a lot has something to do with it. But like I said, since getting this new GAH ring, I can’t slide my hand in anymore so it not doing that. Maybe over time with less hand in pocket time this will resolve. Sure seems like putting my unringed hand shouldn’t rip apart a pocket bag though.
-
@Mizmazzle you doing a lot of sassy walks?
That could put stress on the pocket bags
-
@Mizmazzle Pretty odd indeed! Time for some hand cream

@borosillykid went with a 321 overdyed. To start with denim shirting i decided on the lighter weights.
-
@les-l nice! Overdyed is the way to go, unless your looking for a strictly dress non fade black od has my heart. Glad to hear you found the one you like.

What led to the chalk stripe being released in both the western and the work cuts?
-
Alex talks a little about the reason in the video. For some reason it's not copying the time stamp, the relevant part starts around 47:30

@Tago-Mago Leg end! Thanks for that

Can a legacy UHF workshirt be sent to Gosport to have its buttons updated to the new 15mm ones? If so, what would cost be?
-
@68degreesorless It might just be easier and more cost effective if you can buy some 15mm buttons and either sew them on yourself or have a tailor do it for you. There’s a button district in the garment center in NYC and at least one of the stores has a fairly comprehensive website. Don’t know if you’re in the US or not. Maybe this helps.
