The crotch area is the only place that had any work done to it over the two years. The bright yellow thread is some hand stitching I did to reenforce that area. You can see a could thin areas that need to be taken care of but this area and a couple where my pants swish is the only real damage

Oct 14 - My sister was pregant with her first child, I decided to make him a quilt
Nov 14 - There is a reason little old ladies make quilts, they have nothing but time.
I think the only concert I saw in those two years - Trevor Hall (I went to the syphony once, no pics though)
Dec 14 - Quilt done, wow they take a lot of time. I hand stitched the entire thing, hand pieced, hand quilted, hand everything, it never touched a machine, turned out pretty good.
Jan/Feb 15 - Vacation - Friends house in Cali
Friends place in Mexico
A place to buy tequila in Mexico, the place was 95%+ tequila, it was probably the single greatest store I've visted in my life (I love tequila, I got away with only buying 8 bottles, which I thought was good)
April 15 - The kid and the quilt
And we are done, been a great two years.

HC-IH-62
IH-555-03I'm sorry I haven't post in ages. This is the current state of my IH-555-03. I've washed them in the bathtub like 3 times and send them twice to The Works for crotch and flyloop repairs (Top notch service as I suspected). I couldn't wear them as much during weekdays because of my fecking job and to be completely honest because I have another 2 pairs in rotation (these are my favoritesthough). Still plenty of life in them which I guess is a positive thing, right? (just trying to consolate myself after checking out the state of some other contestants' jeans).
