@Max:

great! So how do they feel now? Any stretch or signs of growing comfort?

Much more comfortable now and got about half an inch of stretch in the waist…..

soon it will be time to split this into 4 threads…exciting when new stuff finally drops

So do you think they would stretch a inch if they had to? I'm wondering if a 34 will stretch to 35.

[Giles]

I think that it will, but seriously the initial pain will be intense…...

Thanks G. 

[STAN]

no pain , no strechy ! 

[Beatle]

seriously , I am pretty tough , but I wouldn ´t recommend downsizing. the denim is super tightly woven , unless any other I´ve seen

[dave]

If it's as tight as the TWHR01, it won't stretch much

[Beatle]

tighter

if there is a size that matches the 666's size 32 presoak, it will be perfect for me.  checks daily for updates

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, and I couldn't find it anywhere in this thread, but will these have lined back pockets for us knife carriers?

Also, any chance the Beatle Buster ever sees a release in this denim? It seems that we have a very slim cut (666) and a pretty loose cut (634), but nothing in between in terms of fit for this material.

[Giles]

No they wont, result would be too bulky and anyway the Vulcan is being released for knife carriers.

And possibly.

Makes sense. I'd imagine that 25 oz. denim would take a while to wear through anyway.

[regedit]

Could you tell me the specification of the fabric for XHS edition?

[Giles]

Sorry, what I have said already is all I'm saying for the moment…...

[Beatle]

25oz indigo denim ?

[Giles]

That's about it

[Giles]

But actually thinking about it.  Haraki is the master of heavy denim.  I think that is indisputable.

This denim caused so may problems in production that it was touch or go whether we could continue the project.

We lost more denim in QC than Haraki has ever seen go to second grade.

Then the construction of the jeans was virtually impossible.

Haraki travelled to Okiyama twice as often as normal to oversee what was going on and to provide moral support.  There is a lot of Harakis blood sweat and tears in these jeans.

The cost was astronomical and I am am going to have to raise the price from 450 to 480.  We are all having to take a financial hit on this escapade.

But are the jeans worth it?  Well, I have seen them and worn them.  I've doubled my order…....
