[Molle]

Jumped on these when there was a re-stock.
At the cabin doing some work since Thursday. Package delivered in 1 day from IH. Wife brought it this morning. They feel absolutely awesome.

@Tobi Hey the snap buttons you have on the front pocket look like a great idea. Does an iphone fit in the pocket still with the snap and if you bent over would the snap button keep the phone from falling out?

[Tobi]

@dechant The buttons are not functional and just on the front. Pure decorative
Indeed.. large phones can slide out when bending down...

My overalls have these psychedelic electric blue fades happening all over. I am amazed. Also, it seems like the filthier these get the more insanely soft they get. I was looking at the denim through a magnifying glass in the sun recently and I couldn't believe the sheen and color composition of the denim. It is like an infinite spectrum of blues and prismatic rainbows all over in the sun. Stuff like this makes me believe in God.

I was just reading though this thread today and came across this quote from Mike. What an absolute fecking star child he was. I love seeing his posts all over this forum, especially ones I haven't read or forgot reading.

Mine is pretty beat up, just wondering if just in case my Chest button For the straps comes off the denim are they still repairable?

[nurunuru]

@myk1098 Is that a Spyderco Slysz Bowie I spy in the pocket?

[nurunuru]

@myk1098 Oh, and in answer to your question, it should be an easy enough fix if a button rips out. Just need to sew a patch of fresh denim behind the tear and hammer in a replacement bachelor button through that reinforcing patch. I actually just did that repair on my pair of 634S-B the other day.

[myk1098]

@nurunuru correct man! good eye

[myk1098]

@nurunuru did you send it in to IH-Uk? How did you get an Original fresh button ? Im just prolly overthinking it -mine might last another year or two

[nurunuru]

@myk1098 Oh, I just used a cheapo Dritz bachelor button. Super easy to install. For the patch, I used some denim from the offcuts I'd saved when I got 'em hemmed. Sewed it on with sashiko thread. Not the prettiest work ever, but functional, at least!

Here's a couple of pics of the repair , front and back.

That's a fine knife, ay! I sold mine years ago for about 3x what I paid for it to fund a new instrument purchase. So it goes!

Edit: I just checked out of curiosity, and it wasn't 3x what I paid. But it was a lot more than I paid. And enough for the instrument, so...
