Clearly Monday has been spending way too much times on his knees.

BTW those 555's are fucking brilliant

Collecting IH can bring out the worst in a man…

So true, Just One Fix

Gave these jeans a nice warm soak after about a year of wear. Out of all my Iron Hearts, I'd say the 18oz in this cut is the most stubborn pair of jeans I own. But I love them and definitely enjoy the struggle of breaking them in.

Nice fit, Mr. Dead!

great shit mickey! @madmonday must be your most worn pair iirc!?

[seanocono]

Agreed. Those look excellent.

[madmonday]

yeap @Finn666 most worn pair of anything ever . . . well except my glasses & my belt. thanks for the kind words both of yous.

now just to figure out what i'm going to wear next full time as i can't wear these to work anymore.  i find i may like a jeans fit but i'm so spoiled with IH back pockets that it ruins a lot of fits that would be otherwise be very good. maybe i'll start a thread for which jean fits me the best & rock out that way . . .

Had to do some home made alterations on them.

Basically, they click when I walk which is VERY annoying. I can only assume this is due to the roomier top block than what I'm used to.

I turned them inside out, and right where the front and back rise meet, I made a little fold and stitched it with some thread which tightened up the whole top block while also reducing the rubbing and 'clicking'.

I can't see the thread lasting long but they are now wearable!

Anyone else experienced the clicking/rubbing of the crotch area?

Wear them more they will soon stop "clicking". Don't think stitching a fold will be a good idea

Well…. it seems like a good idea. No more clicking and I can wear them now without sounding like I'm breaking cardboard with every step.

Plus, for me, the rise is tighter so I don't need to wear them halfway up my back anymore.
