Hello folks and a Happy New Year.

I bought a pair of Lee 101 Lot 49's a few years ago which came with a bar of Otter Wax for application. My denim conservatism kicked in and I never applied said substance. In retrospect, I'm a-wondering if it might be a useful protection against getting the kinda ingrained filth that requires an unhealthy hot wash ? Anybody tried the stuff on denim and can testify as to the outcome ?

Thanks.

It's back up again! Thank you for your expertise @shoque, the "add image to post" link is supremely useful for me. Much appreciation!

Glad it's working again.

Will there ever be any more iterations of the Beatle Buster cut? Seem to remember G saying he wanted to rationalise the number of cuts and that the BB might be the one to go…

Is anyone familiar with any pairs of IH RS-01 denim?  I just picked up a pair of supposedly 10 year old IH RS-01B's and I couldn't find any more info on them.  I'm assuming the "B" signifies them being bootcut as they appear to have a bit of leg flair.  They look legit, I'm just hoping I didn't get burnt on a pair of fakes.

Maybe it´s a collabo with an old retailer?

They're definitely pre-lawsuit, that's all I can say for sure.

Closer photos of the back would be good, and buttons on front if you can. I'd lean to legit based on the thickness of the patch :|.

I'll post up some better pics when I have them in hand.

ah, that old chest nut :).

This. Never seen a single convincing looking pair of fake IH on the entire interw3bz.
Though this comes close-ish :-\ from a distance: http://selvedgestyle.com/post/63131/thread

Would've loved 19L-BBs.

Waxed flesh, what's the best way to treat/condition?
Cheers!

Very cool, I'll have to try to get some good pics posted when they arrive!

The IH-805 product description says they are once washed. Is this done before or after they are sewn together? They've done such a marvelous job with these. I am quite impressed. If they have washed them after production I wonder how they kept them so pristine? The craftsmanship of these is flawless and they are finished so nice.

Washed after being sewn together. There will also usually be slight roping at seams when this is done.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks 4c. Are they machine washed or something other method?

[Giles]

Machine washed as with all our selvedge 21oz denim garments….
