What's up! I live in NE Minneapolis, MN. USA

It's been 4 yrs since I've been back on the forum, but also 4yrs since I've rocked any other jeans then the IH-666-XHS Devils. I thought I would post a couple snaps of these 3 bears - 4 yrs, 2 yrs, new. None have really been washed. Only a handful of antibac soap soaks for the oldest. My freshness secret is to hang them out, protected, a couple times a month on the coldest Minnesota frozen winter nights (-15 plus windchill)! Works incredibly.

Thanks for making the greatest jeans in the world IH!

What up fellow 25ers!

It's been 4 yrs since I've been back on the forum, but also 4yrs since I've rocked any other jeans then the IH-666-XHS Devils.

Also, I need to get my new pair hemmed. I brought my new pair of 25oz Devils to BlackBlue, a denim specialist boutique in St Paul, MN. They have an incredible Union Special 43200G chainstitcher. Super cool store and the owner, Steve, was a big fan of the IH-666's and totally got it. However, he kindly  (understandably) deferred his services, not want risk detuning the machine on these denim beasts for one alteration. So I got some long ass jeans all rolled up.

Any recommendations for OG chainstitching craftmanship on 25oz the USA? I believe I sent my previous pairs to somewhere out west (Seattle)?

Thanks peoples!
