        Really?  Didn't know that.
        Need a machete to hack it in halves and scoop out the yellow/white and creamy stuff.  Never tried it though.  It is an "acquired" taste.

          really?

          wowzer's i am about 1/3 alchol so i will never be able to even taste the fruit  😠  i would die once it touched my lips.

          & i do apologize for the massive derailment.  Stan your jeans do look good on you (as they always do)

            The fruit has a high sulphur content, which inhibits the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase, causing a significant reduction in the body's ability to clear toxins.  Basically, you feel as bad as durian smells.  Well, maybe not quite as bad as durian smells.  It's pretty damn foul.

              the effect is quite similar to that of disulfiram (Antabuse) which is a daily prescription medicine (not very commonly) used to treat alcoholism. the drug doesn't really do anything to treat the disease but what it does do is make you feel really unpleasant (the disulfiram-ethanol reaction) if you drink alcohol, thus acting as a deterrent

                Durians are seriously a damn delicious fruit. It's also a hot fave in Singapore.

                What I know is that not many westerners like this fruit. Most of them just think that durians stink like hell. Haha.

                    Is it me or is it true that SAMs fade slower than IH?

                      It's you. At least normal IH fade much slower in my experience, 23 oz and 25 oz seem to fade quite quick. Samurai and  Flat Head are some of the fastest and most contrasted fading brands (in general, depends on the denim though).

                          Couldn't agree less. 634S'es and Busters faded quickly… The 25 oz'es seem to be much more stubborn!..

                            what? Most 25 oz pairs show fades after few days of wear…Example: nicols pair with only weekend wear. Georgeels pair after 6 weeks. And many more...

                              @ronaldlsh: 0500xx fades also rather fast, but not as fast as the 19oz denim and the 17oz VX denim (in my eyes).

                              I also have to agree with Max: the heavier denims I've seen so far fade quickly, regardless of the brand

                                It's unfortunately that not many folks wear the 24oz Sams (besides a few pairs that are reposted often).

                                  Shouldn't be too hard to find with a quick trip to Chinatown.  Houston has a really big Asian population, so all it takes for me is a 15 minute drive to the closest Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese grocery store.  I'll be curious to hear your impression of it.

                                  As for the fading comparison, my 634s (21 oz denim) with a year of wear are less faded than my S5000s (17 oz denim) with 3 months wear.

                                    I give all my jeans the same abuse and almost have no wear on the 666XHS'es after 5 weeks… I'll compare in two months with my Busters, though, as I wore them hard and almost exclusively for three months as well...
