I've never worn a pair of pants this far into ground…..my mother would spin in her grave if she knew her son has holes in his jeans:)
Perhaps I'll take them Self Edge SF
Fix list
Pocket bags, hems with a new chain stitch, holes, crotch and back pocket seam, a few small repairs.

Loving my 1st pair of 666 XHSs. I got W34 and they stretched so (after getting some 634 XHSs in W32 which I also love), I hankered for smaller 666 XHSs and went on down to Peggs and Son in Brighton (as IH is out of W32 and W33s) and picked up a couple of pairs of 666 XHSs in W32. Now the battle has begun, though my bruised fingers are recovering!
The next pics show the W34 666s after 1 months wear, the 634 XHSs after 2 and 3 day's wear each and a pair of 666s still with tags on.
I just love the reinforcements on the 666 XHSs: belt loops attached to the waistband, selvedge fly reinforced strips, extra gauge constructional stitching, reinforced front pockets and lined rear pockets. I need them all! Here I am at war with my W32 666 XHSs on Day 2!

And for completeness, here is the missing pic of the W34 666 XHSs on Day 8.

jeansman, i salute your knowing what you like & jumping in. . . . but you are crazy, hahahahaha

Jesus…4 new pairs of 25oz's, you my friend have taken on quite a challenge.

5 counting the ones I was wearing!
I'm always on a quest for the perfect pair of jeans, and now I've discovered 25 oz, may be I've found them (although I've already suggested a few modifications to Giles!)?
It usually takes a number of years for my jeans to fade, because I have a very large selection and so I don't get to wear each pair for long enough. My most faded pair at present are a pair of Valencia Street 1955 LVCs made in 1996. Luckily I can now wear jeans every day for work. Unless the 666 XHSs loosen up enough to avoid comment, I guess it'll be the 634 XHSs at work which I can alternate to air and not to wash. When I'm not at work, it'll be the tight 666 25oz. When they're tight I am compelled to go on wearing them to loosen them up!

Damn, breaking in 5 pairs of 25oz's, your legs are gonna give up on you….What else do you/have you had in your rotation on your quest for the perfect pair of jeans?

Hundreds of pairs of LVC, many worn to some degree, many still raw. I've got some 1937 Valencia Street 201XXs in 32 x 38 which I've been breaking in over the past couple of years with nice creases forming in the groin. I daren't wash them because it'll be such a battle getting them on again (similar story to my W32 666 XHSs I expect though the 1937s are supposed th shrink!). I conquered some raw 1955 Valencia Street 501s in 31 x 38 and managed to wash them OK - now I just need to wear them enough to fade them more. Both have more generous thighs than the 666s. I have to protect my hips with folded handkerchiefs!

I know its not a brilliant pic, but I would be interested to know what you guys think of the fit of my unsoaked unwashed uncuffed W32 x 37 666 XHSs on Day 2? Will I win the battle or will they be going up for sale along with a second pair of W32s BNWT, with me waiting for Giles to re-stock W33 666 XHSs?

You'll win the battle….
…and you'll lose a sale (or 2). That's a relief, except that Paula tells me the 1955 UHRs are in today
. Some pics with better light
