@Boit you darn it yourself?

[Boit]

@wjw heck no. https://www.indigoproof.com/
Unfortunately by the time I got many of the pairs back, I had moved on and much of the darning is still very stiff. Lots of lessons learned over the years. I am pretty excited about my current rotation. They are all starting to pop.

My 40yr old body wont ever get into 32 ever again. I’ve not decided what I want to do with them. Maybe my boys will want them when they get bigger? Thought about having them folded and stacked on a shelf to display them in my office?

[wjw]

@Boit what are some of those lessons?

[Boit]

@wjw dont wait to get em repaired, get all the shrink out before you set the creases, crocking is real, patience…fades happen with time(wear), it’s a dice roll whether you get frisked goimg through security checkpoint wearing heavy denim,…

It’s almost a 90% certainty for me when I’m wearing IH flying domestically in the States. I’m used to it now. It’s always the button fly area too..

@RobeOfTheMagi amazing repairs! Really cool.

Quite some evolution for a little more than five weeks:

Pretty cool evo and character on this 9526PJ considering it’s technically a non-fade. I freakin’ love this thing. It goes from black to a super dark midnight blue at times. Thought this light was cool.

[dwils]

@Oaktavia electric blue at its finest! Amazing fades man!

[Oaktavia]

@don_pipone right on thanks man I'm thrilled to give these a break

@Oaktavia those are excellent, dawg! i noticed you have that fly hole that i seem to get on all my pairs. something about the thick folds inside the fly at the bottom and the creasing in that area.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich thanks man and yep def how the fabric folds a certain way there. Happened to both of these pairs nearly identically.
