Photo update:

 

 

 

 

 

I'm hoping these will make another 2 months, they are so thin in so many places now!

Congratulations slab!  One more to help wear out your jeans.

 

Simon, those are ill man.  I think aho might be right, those are really beautiful.

 

Updates on mine, sorry for the bimonthly trend, just been so busy and getting home with absolutely no light outside.

 

They have sustained additional serious damage and the thighs are getting very iffy.  I may do a big gusset on the inside of both thighs.  Dammit, I have to put some wear on that outside patch.

Happy 2014 all!

[SLAB]

thank you for the kind words!

 

here is my pair; I had a bunch of holes repaired a month ago and noticed yesterday yet another new hole at my left knee; the denim feels paper thin at a couple of hard worn areas

yowza

These all look awesome.  Personally, Simon n Slab's are about as good looking as any pair of jeans I've seen.  Anxiously waiting for the Yofukuten website to be active again so I can get on the year long wait list or whatever it is currently.

Recently when with family to Siam Riep, Cambodia for Christmas/New Year vacation.

Quite an interesting city, following is couple of random snaps:

 

 

 

 

 

There is alot of tourist in this city because of its close distance to the very famous Ankor Wat temple complex.

 

The famed Ankor Wat Temple

 

Face here, face there, faces everywhere!

 

 

[redragon]

Huge enormous trees that people usually have in their mind when they think of Ankor Wat.

Incredibly beautiful but their roots are slowly destroying the temple...

 

 

Glimpse of the denim traversing through the temple.

 

Abit of street food action:

Banana+chocolate+pancake is always a winning combination.

 

 

baguette with asian twist, using cucumber salad + satay as the filling.

 

 

Body not feeling too good during the trip so not much food shots around the city.

ah,Angkor Watt, takes me back to my Tombraider days

but seriously; lovely pictures and would love to visit it myself one day

[aho]

Thanks for that Red, I hope to make it out there some day...

[garden gnomes in space]

all of your pairs could own the Roping thread

[aho]

speaking of ropes, I didn't post these from my last update:

[aho]

If this is what they meant by the "special project", then wow!

[slugabed]

sorry of the lack of updates once again

couple of pictures after like 18th machine wash.

 

 

[jyoni]

This could be the most dubious on-the-fly repair I've ever done.  It trumps even the temporary duct tape.

 

[Mr-Bielby]

For me that's just ugly.

Jyoni that seems right in the spirit of how repairs should be, especially since you just used what you had on hand.

 

I'm sure you'll replace it, but if you didn't I wouldn't have any complaints. Plus, Tyvek never tears, so you would have that going for you.

[jyoni]

I don't hate them.

 

But your blunt honesty <3

Well, it's just the tape...but at least it's the 3" tape Marvin imposes on the industry.

 

It was a previous rip which I tried to stitch surgically.  Just blasted out again.  These jeans are just about fried, Ray.  I may as well just frankenstein that Tyvek tape on with some tatting thread.

Love those gorilla repairs jyoni, that's how proper workwear should look.

[Maynard Friedman]

Gorilla or guerrilla?
