Hi all,

Life has kicked my ass the past few months and I've been delinquent about posting updates, but here's mine.

Really lovely mechanical pencil

^ An ounce of prevention, Reggie Died. I've touched up the pockets on my 1944 at the slightest sign, and they've held up well while the rest of the jean falls apart. A good fix for the perimeter stitching is to interweave the repair with the old thread. The original thread around the edge of the pocket seems to fail as a complete thread rather than breaking, if that makes sense. You can loop and lock a repair around it, and save it before it breaks.

I've had less of an issue with the actual denim ripping as I have with the pockets themselves fraying and coming apart, but I'm sure that a little active prevention probably would be the best way to lengthen their lifespan. Very helpful post jyoni!

I've washed mine probably six times....maybe 7. In year one I washed them quarterly, and I was going to do monthly washes in year two but that hasn't really happened so far.

Here's a random shot of my '47s from this past weekend. Will try to make an effort to take some more detailed photos in the near future.

Been bad about updating, but just wanted you all to know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.

Those look great. What made your patch darker?

How I've been wearing mine in the heat...

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics, I lost my camera. About 7 months...

Just posted in the photo thread, 4 month wear update. Decided to throw them in the wash for the first time right after these were taken.

I feel like my 47's are fading quite fast actually. I think it's a combination of soaking them really well initially and going true to size. They were pretty brutal at first in the waist but have stretched out perfectly now. I'd say I wear them 5 days a week, and they are the only jeans I've been wearing since December 1....

Posted this in the photo thread but thought I should put it up here as well. I'm really enjoying these a bunch, much more than my APC NS which are my only other pair of selvedge denim. Right now I am sort of wishing I had sized up one for a more relaxed fit, but I have a feeling that in a couple months when summer is imminent I will be happier with the more slim fit.

Here's some fit pics of mine...2 months
