@68degreesorless that’s very interesting, looks like they pulled the seam apart and just darned the original bag. It looks very clean.

Outgrew my beatle busters and am looking for a suitable replacement. What current cut of jeans fits closest to the old Beatle Buster fit?
-
@hangwithhuang the beatle buster was mid/high ish rise, and tapered. The closest options will be the 888 and 1955, though neither are exactly the same. The 555 is similar rise, but slimmer.

@68degreesorless pocket bag tears are my nemesis too. Look like they did a solid repair job. I'm impressed. Like @nrtphotos said, looks like they darned the torn part of the pocket bags. Wonder if they have to remove the whole pocket bag to do that??
I usually repair mine myself and just pull up the pocket bag to where its not shredded and resew the clean material to the pocket opening. My repairs are nowhere near as clean but I kind of like my home done repair look too.

I feel like I should know this but somehow I don’t.
I know these high quality denims we love are made to fade and do so because of indigo rope dying. This was how denim was made up though the 70s for the most part.However, main stream jeans from the mall or wherever, don’t fade like the niche brands we love. How are the threads indigo dyed on mainstream jeans? Why don’t they fade like ours? Does the dye used go all the way to the core keeping the color fast for a longer period?

Trying to ID this eBay pickup. Description said it was 10oz mock twist chambray. The only current offering I see is the “salt and cayenne,” but this has domed snaps and a blue/grey selvage ID. The stitching is all gold and the color is a very bright red, with an almost orange-y tint. Maybe a previous offering? Anyone have any ideas what it could be?
