But the loom could not take the strain and this happened……

@Giles this link is a 404, curious if you still have the broken loom photo and could re-post it?

@SourPower Here you go: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/341837

@goosehd thank you!

[goosehd]

@SourPower it is impressive…

[Mizmazzle]

@SourPower you’re going to need to get those photos framed for your wall!

I see @tody is enabling again

[tody]

@Tago-Mago the downside of my weight loss. i could pull them down without unbuttoning them. if i gain 10 kilos again, everyone has the right to shame me publicly in this thread right here…

I can tell you”re young by your use of “if” instead of “when.”

[tody]

i‘d like to keep that in the 'been there, done that' dimension. typing this message from the seat of my rowing machine… i look shitty with close to 100kilos

[Matt]

Yeah that’s a real Sophie’s Choice.

First wear in the LBs today!
Thank you again for passing these along to me @tody, they are my best fitting pair of IH pants.

The 666 is my favorite cut, and these are absolutely perfect in the waist. My understanding is that this fabric doesn’t stretch or shrink much, so I am elated with the fit. Probably going to keep these on ice for the summer and plan to rage them this fall/winter.

Really amazing fabric, loving this deep indigo color. Debating whether or not to put a small cuff on these to show off this incredible selvedge ID… thoughts?

@SourPower they don’t like to be cuffed and will make holes at the point you cuff them. If you don’t mind holes and potential failure at some point, then I would say to cuff them. I hemmed them to length which is sacrilegious to some, but I wanted to wear this as long as I possibly could.

If you leave them a bit on the longer side, they will stack beautifully.

[SourPower]

@goosehd thanks for your input, I definitely agree that cuffs will likely result in a blow out… Big stacking potential was my thought as well, I usually hem on the more conservative side but these could yield some amazing results at their current length. Time will tell!

[goosehd]

@SourPower They don’t look overly long to me and stacking would look very good down the road in regards to fading potential.

Fecking sick dude!

I am planning on doing the same. Let's fade ours together! I plan to start in mid August when the school year starts and I'm indoors all day.

I plan to cuff mine, but Dennis does make a good point. I think a repaired blowout via darning will just add character, so I'm going to see how it goes. Stacking also is an awesome option, ideally a little of both. I will have to try mine on and see how they fall. Anyway, stoked you have a pair!!! Even with the rerelease of the double indigo duck, these are not on the table and are special in that regard (to say the least).

@SourPower great score of a rare gem.

I can confirm the duck gets abrasion holes over time from cuffing. I had mine repaired in the back. I also got a hole where my phone had the most pressure when sitting, and over time at the top of the pocket bags (repaired in tonal color).

I also wanted to show off the unique selvedge I.D.

Spoiler alert, no one ever gave a shit except me.

Isn't that the point?

[goosehd]

Exactly the point, but you need to be aware what you’re walking in to. Thinking that a pair will remain pristine to realize that they have their own characteristics which some would say are flaws or benefits needs to be understood beforehand. How many people buy lefties to only realize that they hate leg twist…

There is a learning curve to this journey and the ducks are just one road

Hell to the yeah! I’m going to commit to not carrying my phone in my pocket for these and start carrying my Y’2 fanny pack more often. It’s a bad but convenient habit that I’m hoping the LBs will break…

100% Giles told me that it would be impossible to find a pair, and scoring a like-new pair over a decade after release felt like harpooning Moby Dick!
