      If anyone is wondering what I mean by my father in laws smell, it's kind of like moist mildew crossed with my cats morning breath

              It was my wedding. Giles and Paula attended. So was the father of the bride

                    Erm…..the whole weekend (inc the wedding), was a bachelor party - or that's what I remember.....

                      @Sugar:

                      Sweat more than likely damages denim over time (where are ya Doug Ng?) but heat and humidity works wonders with fading. Just check out any number of jeans from Indonesia. My jeans take a leap forward in evo anytime I'm in Hong Kong.

                      I'm not a fan of smelling like my father in law, and I'm even less a fan of being sweaty, so that's the reasons why I'm going to retire my 25oz for the summer. But yes, salt is incredibly abrasive. Any type of crystal is abrasive.

                      To each their own, though

                      This is so true..Iv slept in mine a few times early on.  When i wake up my jeans are a lot more stiff and abrasive …I had no clue it was because of the sweat.  I def don't want to smell BUT i'll give it a whirl and if they start to smell i'll wash em then.  My pair is moving along pretty well right now so a premature wash won't be that bad.  Thanks for the info I definitely got my answer 😉

                        For those of you with a bunch of pairs or Giles, what's the most comfortable IH jean, right from the beginning..

                          Just a guess, but I bet the answer is the 634s…

                            634s I would say. the 21oz sanforized surprisingly soft

                              I have the 634s, 666s and 801s and the 634s were by far the most comfortable right from the beginning. The 801s didn't take very long and I'm still working on the 666s  🙂

                                Pretty much sounds like a shirt from Dry Bones or RJB.

                                  21oz flagship. It's on a number of jeans (634s, DC4001, B01, 461s)

                                  That's compared to 18oz unsanforized, 21/23oz unsanforized, 25oz XHS sanforized, and cotton duck

                                  21oz flagship sanforized in OD feels about the same for me

                                      Anyone done 15-19hr straight flights? I've only done 9-10hr flights and that was tough. Any pointers?

                                          Thanks. I'll probably bring a few Tylenol PM to put me to sleep. Never taken any of those pills you suggested before unfortunately. I usually can't fall asleep, so I'm going to bring some sort of sleep aid for sure. My biggest fear, which isn't horrible by any means, is having something to charge all my apple gear haha. I have all the adapters lets just hope they have the ports.
