@Danimal506 absolutely this ^

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 that's a very nice bit of knowledge! Thanks for mentioning that.

[Danimal506]

For reference. Here are my 822, 777-142 and 555-SBG.
The 777 are pretty blown out due to my wedding ring.

[Matt]

Yeah, that would be some next level shit.

[Mizmazzle]

Yup! I vote for that detail on all jeans!

[Daniel San]

never recognized but that’s a really good detail.

[Kasi]

If you know your jeans 666 has them.

[VegaS10]

Do I need these? No.

Will I buy them? You fucking bet I will.

[SKT]

@Kasi just checked my 666 jeans and none have the denim wrapped reinforcement. Some have a blue colored twill like fabric but not denim. Maybe older pairs have them?

[Matt]

I’ve had a few pairs and have SII currently. Never had that on them.

[Kasi]

666 had a extra layer. Think it was 25oz sold them on

[Giles]

What we did with the original 666 was to add a layer of bias binding tape. That got carried over to many of the 666 derivatives.......Not sure what else we put it one....

It is not the same as the 822 pocket construction...

This post is deleted!

[Mizmazzle]

I'm noticing the left leg has an extra stitch line above the knee in the product photos that wasn't there on previous releases....

edit: @Graham says its not on the actual pants and crisis averted!!

[Daniel San]

@Mizmazzle
were do you see that ?

[Giles]

It has been fixed

[Blueband]

Do Mondays release sizes match the previous ones?

[Denman John]

These are dropping on Monday so I thought you guys might like some pictures to tide you over the weekend. I’ve had them just over a year now and they get a lot of wear. I have 5 washes on them and there is the start of a crotch blowout. Might send them to @JoshC soon and let him work his magic. As with most of my pictures, they look better in person.

[SKT]

@Denman-John they look so good! I think the 21oz really comes into its own with a few washes…the blues start to shine. That’s interesting about the crotch wear. I think mine will be my first pair to need a repair there as well. I think it might be because the thighs are a bit larger and there is more fabric to cause friction. Either way, they look fantastic! And thanks for posting!

[Denman John]

@SKT When I saw your pictures from a few days ago, I noticed the same fading in the crotch area. Maybe it’s due to the extra layer of denim restricting movement in that area? I don’t know, but I do know these are amazing jeans that I’ll keep alive for many years to come. They just look better the more you wear them!
