IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
gotta get me a pair of 666 25oz one day
-
great fit Stan! not gonna hem it shorter?
-
^^Can't wait to see them washed!
Thanks for being a trail-blazer GHBK!… My pair is a few months behind this beauty, but I can see a hole forming in that exact same location: that inside crease under your bum on both sides near the crotch seam.
In addition to the Double-Knee jeans, anyone in support of a Double-Crotch jean? It's a shame to see such exquisite jeans succumb so quickly to something so predictable.

the stiffness/thickness of the denim is the problem - I'm not too sure two layers of the fabric would remedy the situation

Well it works for the loggers. Hypothetically, it would take twice as long to form a hole all the way through. And maybe by that time, the jeans will have been washed enough to limit the damage from stiffness.
Gotta do something. Its clearly the weakest point (other than the chain-stitched hems) on every single pair of jeans that I have. Buying another pair or having them patched can't be the best solution possible, especially not for the consumer.
Anyway, Wonderful pair of jawns GHBK16! Well done.

I actually used to do this with Dickies I rode my bike in. Buy pants, cut them into shorts just under the knee, sew the excess into the crotch so it wouldn't blow up immediately. Worked for quite a while however the 25oz material is an entire different beast. Would be interested to see if that would work. Could just end up feeling like a denim diaper, lol.
If double crotch jeans ever came out I'd surely be in for a pair to try it out. I have the same tear/hole on the upper crotch of the left leg in 3 months of wear.
