@Autorotate , I replied to your message from 3 days ago asking if I had these in a 34 waist, that I would be willing to let go of.
-
I took these off yesterday only to discover that the knee has gone, and I have three crotch blowouts!
58 days wear. I’m thinking maybe I should wash them already just to prolong their life.
-
@Mister_Brue Wait, are you saying these only have a total of 58 days of wear? No chance

@Mister_Brue did you size them loose? I blew out the crotch on my 16oz slubs in less than 50 wears too but started to realise I’d sized them a bit too big. I went with a 36 waist on them for comfort and have since been wearing 34 and starting with them tight and going for a 1.5 inch stretch. Think with the 16oz slubs I must have had an excess of fabric in the excuse my French “bollocks” area creating some friction
-
@Mister_Brue I am super curious what they would look like after a wash. Is some of they light greying from dust/dirt via your jobsites?
-
@Oaktavia Oh, 100%! I’ve washed them now, so I will take some more snaps when I can after the weekend.
-
@Mister_Brue cool

@Mister_Brue definitely understand that, there’s no way I could wear my 555’s for work. Just thought it worth pointing out that the only time I’d gone for a loose ish fit I had a similar issue. I’m getting to around 150-200 wears in a size 34 before getting close to crotch blowouts and 50-60 when I went with a 36.

@Mister_Brue my lord they are glorious
-
@Mister_Brue Wow! These look great
Hard to fathom this is 58 days of wear. I doubt I could get there in 580 days. That's handcraft for you. (Currently I'm a student (again), so a whole lot of reading these days, which is easy on the denim).Really looking forward to seeing your progress in the upcoming Indigo Invitational! Did you already decide on a pair?
-
@Mister_Brue What sort of work do you do to get these fades in such a short amount of time?!

Yes, they’ve pleasantly surprised me. I’m looking at the 822’s for IIV. Maybe the knees will last six months?
The 822s are probably your best bet. Though I kind of doubt they'll last a full year. Someone should convince Haraki to make som triple knee jeans for you.
(And I think I have to reassess the pair you wore in the last II, I don't think any pair of jeans would have survived)
