no major problems, just a lot of stitching being undone.. both pockets, inseam near crotch, chainstitched hem

[ianpalermo]

I think it seems like a lot of people are having issues just because the only people that are speaking up about construction are the ones having problems.

Yeah, the stitching on my right front pocket is coming undone. I'm trying not to tug on it .

Otherwise these are holding up really well. No problems anywhere else at all.

[ThugLife]

someone told me that if you spray denim with distilled water then it may stretch more.

is that true? cause the thighs on these things are still too tight.

[Chicken]

me too. no problems so far. the only threads that are coming apart are the ones that should. like the ones around the front pocket where my keys keep rubbing.

[cheep]

to the people having blowouts... is it the denim ripping or the stitching coming undone?

The crotch blowout that I had started with the stitching coming undone. The denim around the hole is heavily frayed, requiring a patch for reinforcement, but I don't think it ever ripped. I think it just came unraveled.

I'm just having stitching coming undone, no denim rips/tears.

The stitching was loose, but really when I looked at the inside of the jeans, the denim at the seam was all frayed and there was almost no excess material after the stitching, so it was thread going through badly frayed denim

I noticed my inseam stitching coming undone this past week as well.

[cheep]

some of my inseam stitching is coming undone too... but thats just the nature of 100% cotton thread.

[dave023]

looking good Beatle:)

[salaami]

there's just something about raw denim and chucks, isn't there?

[selaviso]

it just works so good

[MirrorLockUp]

Love the fuzziness in that last pic. Great fit. I'm hoping I can soak mine and get them back that kind of fit.

[ChattyPuma]

Don't have enough material left from the little I got hemmed. Any suggestions for patching? I do have to say that this is the first pair of jeans I have blown out like this. most wear out through time...I'm pretty disappointed.

[denihilist]

That's pretty much what happened to mine.

[Conie Jeans]

beatle nice fit on you

[Conie Jeans]

Puma what a pity, any the jeans fading is really good though, I like it...

[batorizer]

two words for you all: preventative maintenance

[tyson31]

cp was getting some good wear though. drop BiG a line.

Holy shit...

New competition...

Who's jeans have any denim left at the end of the year wins.

Seriously...You guys must be pissed...

[Tyler Durden]

^so right, and this may not fare well for Warehouse too.

[Chicken]

puma, how much did you downsize on those puppies?

[Sammy You]

update ~2 months

everything seems to be fine construction wise

again these are sized down 3 and unhemmed

my left leg looks brokens

[JohnnyRed]

These blowouts seem to be happening to people that sized down quite a bit. I'm down 2 and it's not super slim, but I'm also not having any construction issues
