My 6 year old XHS did that after about a week.  I did nothing to it, gave the jeans years worth of shit and it never really got any worse.  I know that is not a particularly satisfactory answer, but it seems to be something that happens to the 25oz denim, that cant be detected in QC…..

Thanks for the replies everyone. I guess I'll just keep wearing them and monitor the situation.

Had a few holes just kept wearing them… life to short to worry.

Like Giles said keep wearing them.

I think the last one we did a few years ago was called a Light Grey Friday Sale - because it was feeble

And why?

Nobody dare say Goro btw, don’t have Goro budget… [emoji2369]

I stumbled across these jeans on eBay. Does anyone have more information of these?

Will Wonder supplies be restocking their fisherman’s winter hats?

[Alex]

It's very unlikely that we will restock and Trophy this year

[Giles]

Whos Fishermans hats?

Need some guidance. Going to have a custom waist coat made and good for shoulder, chest, opening measurements but… front length/rear length - is there a rule of thumb for lengths as related to belt? Aka front should be lower/ back should be higher : verse visa?

Depends what you are after.

Waistcoats and work vests originally had different functions. A waistcoat in more formal/uniform use was intended to cover the transition from shirt to trouser giving a smarter, cleaner look. The longer points on the front angled up to the button placket to give easy access to your fly/pecker for taking a pee. In that instance the front is longer than the back but both should cover the waistband/belt in normal standing position.

Work vests were simply garments that protected shirts and provided pockets for personal effects, tools and nails etc, while leaving arms free and uncontstrained for working. Their length was somewhat irrelevant, as long as movement wasn’t hindered and the undershirt protected from damage and dirt.

Nowadays it is up to the user in both instances, but if you are looking for something smarter then belt and waistband covered is the way to go.
