Nice @ATWM! For myself, I find a patch quicker to get repaired and less obtrusive–darning [almost] always comes out super stiff, like cardboard, in most cases that I have had it done. Plus, the wait time can be 4-10 weeks. In saying that, I had my SEXI26s repaired at SELA from my moto accident, the whole crotch and left leg were ripped entirely, and it feels like a new pair of jeans after repairing. Soft and pliable.

No no @julian-wolf, precautionary, for the inevitable holes that will form. I did it because I was getting the crotch seams fixed so no extra price to add a patch. I was expecting more of a SEXSC06 style patch, but they tacked the whole thing on. Not too worried. They charged me $10. @ATWM, I estimate I have done about ~900 miles or so. Pretty similar to you. Washed 5 or 6 times.

Precautionary, but the chainstitching was coming apart. Kinda weird too, the outer jean inside chainstitch; while the inner jean, the inner chainstitch. So basically both of them were coming apart and only a matter of time before a gaping hole would have opened up, no doubt at the most unfortunate time. The denim isn't looking like it's getting any holes there, though. Knee, wallet, phone on the other hand...

First repair. The chainstitching of the crotch started to come apart. Had some spare denim scraps from some Imperials.

Just in time, was planning on picking up a Poten hat!

New term unlocked...indigo shower?

It's weird for me too. Some threads—"Nice Things" for example—it takes me to the newest reply when I click on the title. The "Self Edge" or "The Flat Head" thread, it takes me to the page before while other threads take me to the top of the latest page. I wish it would just take me to newest unread across the board. Interestingly, the SE and TFH replies per page are way more than any others so I think there is a bug for me.

All the walking I bet. When I was in Japan, I lost weight while eating a ton. Averaged like 25k steps a day...

My previous wallet went kaput so my girl got me a CP tan wallet. Looking forward to getting a patina on this.

Stiff and starchy

I guess Simo didn't man-handle my jeans enough 😤

Great color too! Reminds me of Ducks from ROY.

My jeans are finally getting to that "matte feel" now. Especially during summer, it always feels like they will start to accelerate in fading when it reaches that arbitrary status. Could be totally placebo.
