my FN-3004 from sept 2024 have now fallen apart enough they need serious stitching repairs I know the 100% cotton thread stuff is "repro" but I really wish they would not use it. Back to stevenson until I figure out how I am going to repair these.

I couldn't ever fit into their previous patterns, but wow the FN-3004 in New Pioneer is the wildest denim I've seen as far as fading speed goes. Every time you wash your hands the sink flashes blue.

My skulls from SE had a rivet pop off within days. good denim though not really sure the dragging on about sizing down. they were vanity sized one size. apc was usually 2 sizes depending on the model apcs tended to stretch a lot. skulls tended to shrink a lot for sanforized jeans. (and then stretch back) just typical confusion about buying clothes off the internet. The new jean fabric I saw was pretty boring compared to the 6x6, but yeah after SE dropped them they seemed hard to get. I think being hard to get + QC issues was just the issue in general with them.

IG warehouse sale post crashed the site I bought 3 pairs during the previous sale so it's probably for the best. I do wish those detroit jeans had a dior 19cm style inseam length cuz that top block is incredible for tall guys.
