@goosehd I finally worked up the courage to try this, and yes, it totally works with a seam ripper. I also used tweezers to pluck away at the threads and bits. Thanks @Mister_Brue for the tip.

For anyone else trying this, the key is that the label is made of a much more fragile fabric than the stitches or the denim, at least on my IHSH-293-OD. Just have to slowly and carefully fray the label and it will gradually break away as you use the seam ripper to break up the threads and pluck away at them with tweezers.

@meatmarketdenim1 looks great! Did you hear anything about self edge stocking this? Nothing on their website yet. I’m in Austin where they’ve had a store for a few months now.

@Lowlander These look great!! May I ask: how long did you wear them to achieve this?

Also, do you find the 142bb to be hot? Some have said the broken twill 14 oz is more breathable. Curious to hear your take as someone who has clearly put the work in to this pair.

Congrats and I look forward to following how they evolve!

@meatmarketdenim1 Thanks man! And now I see earlier in the thread of course they list the stockists.

How warm was it? Would you compare to a UHF?

This is very helpful! Thanks for these tips y’all
