BROTHERHOOD OF BIB
-
This thread - and the Filthy Few thread - have me in a complete obsessive hunt for some 805’s. I began a WTB thread, but posting this here for max exposure. At this point I think a 32 or 34 would work well for me. I usually wear 32 and 31 in all my cuts.
Well done ladies and gentlemen. This is such a great garment.
And FWIW, words can say enough to the impact that Filthy Mike had on this community, and even now after his passing, it still has a lasting, profound and positive impact. Happy Sunday!!!

@scooter how they hold up at work?
So far, so good. If anything wears out quickly, it'll be the front pockets. I carry 2 phones(1 work, 1 personal), with hard cases, in them. It'll be a good test, to see how long they last...

Those brown duck overalls look great, Scott. That pair of 38 in BST for months has been taunting me.
Do it. You're cool if you do...

You can’t argue with this logic @sabergirl

Well guys and gals, I snagged a pair! Thanks to @an_apple_soda for responding to my WTB post, I am a super stoked owner of some tagged 32 805’s. They are incredible. Must admit I’m wondering what’s gonna happen to my other IH jeans, as I begin to neglect them for my 805’s. So dope. So pumped. In the pic I’m wearing an IHSW-39 and some Arrow double leather soled Ring Mocs. Cheers!

@endo in my zeal to get an 805, I took a huge risk and bought a tagged 34 on eBay. The listing had a generic picture, and the seller claimed that it was in a warehouse and he was unable to take actual photos of the garment. He assured me the 805 was in good shape, and I blindly trusted him.
While waiting for the 34 to arrive, a forum member reached out and offered his 32 to me. 32 is my preferred size and what you see me wearing in my latest pictures.
Finally the 34’s arrived and, *** I think they are as new as can be!!*** No fading and the leather patch is in near mint condition! They must have seen some water at some point because there is slight roping on the hems.Long story short - I’d happily sell them to you. And I’m happy to provide pics and have a discussion privately! Let me know. And if they are not for you, they will hit the marketplace imminently.
Cheers!

@Giles you beat me to it… upon further inspection, they do appear to be brand new. No evidence of wear of any kind.
