Haven’t been using my TCB60’s at all for a while now because I was afraid that the knees would become unmendable. Tonight I finally got a minute to mend one of them. Before After Also fixed my right hand side pocket bag where my keys where digging through. This where a while ago though.

Those ochre coloured ones look really good!

@julian-wolf I’ve got a pair of their indigo toe socks and while I can’t vouch for the longevity of them (bought them when I was feeling touristy in Daikanyama and haven’t used them all that much) they seem really well made. Comparable to Merz b Schwanen or similar. Size 25-27 should be eu40-44 or 8-10,5US.

@tigerstrom Tack!

Haven’t worn the comp jeans nearly as much since the last update. Maybe 4-5 days a week. I’ve mended the cuffs, pocket bags, the knees and a small hole on the seat so far. 12 washes.

You could also try Spring court or Novesta.

Just got these gently used ‘52 Riders by Edwin. They’re still kind of crispy but the previous owner must’ve sized down a lot ‘cause the waistband and button hole’s severely stretched, even after a 40C wash.

Back stitch, yes.

They’re not made from the same fabric though are they?!

@propellerbeanie I would buy some jeans thread. I bought some from Citron jeans (Etsy) for mending myself. Excellent all cotton thread that’ll fade with the excisting thread (I’m guessing it’s not a poly thread). Then I would double the original thread for a few stitches so it doesn’t unravel more and then use the old holes as I guide as I continue. Start and stop from Inside the pocket so the knots won’t show.

Not been completely exclusive to the TCB60’s the past month so progress has slowed down somewhat. Did mend both front side cuffs because big holes where forming. Used the same fabric I used to mend my left side pocket bag and some sashiko thread. Holes are forming in the right side pocket bag as well so I’ll have to get on with mending that too. Apart from that and the knees they’re holding up well! 10 washes and 1 soak so far.
