It was open as soon as I let out that breath I was holding for the photo

‘Fab that some had already blown past the 1st furlong.  I’m like Hughie battling the “Seven” w/o any superpower.

 

Wore them almost daily, but it seems like watching paint dry, in reverse ... still hairy like Yeti.

Muffin cuffing is now trending. From the latest issue of GQ magazine (I get it free, wouldn't pay for it).

That’s me wearing my contest pair at home. But more belly though

^ I did this in the late '80s when I was a starving student and had no belt to hold up my increasingly loose 501s... wish I still had some of those jeans, I used to visit the city and sift through the thrift store offerings looking for the red lines because they looked more neatly finished than the others...

@buler message me next time you are in Milwaukee. Need to start doing some meet ups!!! I also saw someone on here from columbus Ohio which I go to a lot!!!

[Frost 1,949]

Still swamped with work, have to travel again today - elevator selfie will have to do. Triple denim in the wild.

 

[tjandaputra 212]

1 month check with the typical dutch weather in the past few weeks

Haven't worn it as much as i would've liked since i tore my meniscus 1 week after the contest started, but overall really pleased with the quality of the jeans. Surely goes right to the top of my fav list of jeans

@breakingfad I will let you know. Not sure when I'll be going back. Probably not returning to work in the office until February or later.

[UkeNo 103,384]

Damn @tjandaputra I hope you’re doing okay? Are you wearing the Knee brace of shame now  ? 

I had my foot in an Aircast for a few months a couple of years ago, which meant I wore sweats or shorts for about 6 months - only managed to stretch a couple of pairs over the contraption when I could find the energy. 
hope your heal up quickly.

I washed my pair today and the wabash fabric on the pocketbags ripped. It sucks but I think I can repair it myself..

[Graytrain 224,865]

@Qube those chest pockets go with the rise of these jeans: slightly undersized and leaving me wanting. 

[BrownMetallic 602,453]

@tigerstrom Where did it rip?  Gnome had the same situation on the 1st wash.

 

So, I haven’t washed & not planning to wash anytime soon,  but I’m already doing assessment for an anticipatory reinforcement on the usual weak points,  e.g., crotch & pockets.

I’ve mentioned early on that,  though I love the chambrayXwabash combo on my pair,  the chambray would be the 1st to degrade & disintegrate.  I figure,  the less dense construction of the shirting material is not meant/suited for the task ... & now,  it seems even the wabash might be a problem, too

Compared side by side with the PBJ XX007 pocket bag.

[JDelage 5,119]

I'm looking forward to your repair / reinforcement!

[tigerstrom 3,006]

The fabric ripped where the stitching ends on the corner of you understand what I mean. If I remember it was where gardens pocket ripped too. I have the black wabash so I hope you guys with the blue are luckier @BrownMetallic

Nice loose fit, 

[H...crimper 691]

Favourite fitting jeans even if they are very loose.

I went to a muddy dog park today, this might call for a first post-wear wash.

Wear documented late last week:

Still deciding on the fabric material & how to incorporate it on existing bag ... also, planning on using Pellon  [fusible interfacing] to beef-up the chambray.

I see ... so, I’ll just deal with it when it does happen.  The flimsy chambray is my immediate concern.  Thanks!

Blue skies smilin at me, nothin but blue skies do I see
