  1. And here with regards to some requests for full view of my pants.

    And to Tuckshop's earlier request, please feel free to use the pictures, I am more than glad to share them with you.

    Meanwhile, I would be glad to hear from anyone of you if you have had similar experiences whatsoever, I'd like to think it's just my rough usage because I really just worked the pants with a fuck it mentality.

     

    Also, I will be most glad if anyone of you have any advice to share on getting the fades out from behind the knees and other non-prominent parts such as the calves area.

    Much thanks in advance.

     

    Cheers & happy holidays.

  2. i don't think any of the 'problems' you described are really problem per se, they are just the ways in which a pair of pants ages. Wabash Fabric is inherently not as hard-wearing fabric as denim fabric to begin with, and red cloud uses 100% cotton thread which breaks easier than polycore thread too. 

     

    anyway sick looking pair of wabsh. show full view!

     

     

    I've had the same tearing on the inside of the hem on my R400H, but didn't think much of it as it happens to every pair that I've cuffed multiple times. However! I got a pair that was completely falling apart hemmed, and all of a sudden the tearing stopped. Maybe that is the key.

     

    Thanks for your responses and experience, guys.

    I do agree, the wabash is generally not as "solid" as denim fabric and the 2nd and 3rd "problem" mentioned earlier is kinda negligible

    and rather justified with all the wearing and tearing.

    But what really kinda bothered me was the strange case of the loose thread at the hem. Like I said, i tried to yank it off initially and at some point it got a little out of control and it let out a big hole as shown in one of the pix. Subsequently, i just cut it loose and folded the pants higher and got on with it.

     

     

     

     

    All I can say is, that is one really worn pants and definitely amazing. 

     

    I am sorry but I will not be able to explain why or how things broke on a pair of pants after wearing it for 2 yrs. 

    My belief is that, it is due to wear and tear, frequent wearing. And you have certainly done a great job, wtkl.

     

    We welcome all honest feedbacks and comments here, good or bad. All it matters is how we can know more about Red Cloud.

     

    Singapore's Tuckshop & Sundry Supplies has got a pair of the same RC Wabash, worn for 3 yrs, washed unlimited time.

    Nothing broke so far....

     

     

    Oh... Can I have your permission to post your wabash pictures on our social media?

     

     

    Thanks for your response, Tuckshop!

    As mentioned above, I'm abit more affected with the stitching at the hem. And after the loose stitching took place a couple of months after getting the pants, I guess it sort of got through to me that it was just a pair of pants afterall and made me just wear the pants and work it as it should be. But with the recent discovery of the tears and loose stitching of the patch in the rear-right pocket, it made me a little disappointed as this is really my favorite pair of pants to wear and the wash and everything is really starting to come together.

    To be honest, despite all these, I am really considering getting another same pair of rc wabash to start from the very beginning.

  3. Hi all,

     

    I cannot believe I took so long to find out that there has been such an active redcloud thread here.

    I chanced upon redcloud while searching for wabash jeans and it was a cheaper alternative as compared to the likes of ironheart etc.

    I have a pair of wabash jeans from redcloud for about almost 2 years and have washed them around 5 times, and I would like to check with you guys here if anybody have ever experienced any similiar issues.

     

    Within the first couple of months of wearing, i noticed the part slightly above the hem and the hem itself (where the jeans is rolled up), the threading started to wear out and give way. I had no idea why, I figured it was due to the way I walked, the hems of the jeans rubbed against each other and caused this. but if you look closely at one of the pictures, the stitching gave way in the middle and if the action of the hems brushing against each other was that intense, the scruffs would have been equally worse. This really really bothered me at the beginning, but each time I wore it i just tried to roll the jeans a little higher or cut off the loose thread. I was too lazy to bring it to a tailor.

    Another problem I had was the zippo/coins compartment above the front-right pocket. This came slightly later about a year after getting it. the top right part of the pocket gave way again. This I could attribute it to my rough handling/actions. But, honestly I have never faced this problem with my other jeans. The middle portion of the zippo/coins compartment gave way and tore like it was made of paper. I cannot imagine what I had put into the pockets other than round coins in my entire process of owning this pair of jeans that would have caused the tear. Again I feel perhaps this could be attributed to my rough handling/actions but again, I have never faced this problems with any of my other jeans.

    As you can see from the picture, where it has been poorly patched in black thread. I couldn't really careless at this point of time already so I quickly got someone to stitched up the tears for me so my coins do not keep dropping or eventually lose an entire coin pocket.

    Another problem I faced just quite recently, was the tag/patch that they have in their rear-right pocket, is that the threads started to give way as well. It is really disappointing because i really liked this little detail in the pocket and I have never utilized that pocket at all ever other than the occasional hand-at-the-back-of-pocket-while-waiting-in-the-lift kinda moments. if you take a closer look at the outside fades on the back pocket and the denim in the interior is like fresh.

    *Please note, I would like to clearly state I am not here to diss on redcloud or whatsoever.

    In fact I really really like the brand and the products that they are churning out and the image/brand that they have become. I would just to find out if it is just me and my rough usage or have anyone with the same pair of wabash have had any similiar problems or if anybody have any great insight on some of the stuff i brought up.

    This is definitely one of my top favorite pair of jeans to wear but with all these little issues, I am finding it very hard to love this pair of jeans.

     

    Please advise.

    Peace
