@volcano:

im pretty curious. do you guys soak your 666-xhs before 1st wear or you guys just wear em' straight away?

http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2657.0

they only mention for raw denim. 666-xhs aren't raw right? so i guess they can be worn straight away as mentioned by hajduk?

anyway im just asking cos mine is still as stiff as feck after wearing around 10 times.

You want them stiff!!

Wore 'm for 6 months straight away. Will now soak 'm every 2-3 months or so. No science behind, although I would recommend a soak after a month or so to soften them up a bit, especially if you cuff (to avoid bad hem fraying).

It does not just mention raw denim, see after Raw Denim paragraph:

"Regular and Pre-Soaked Raw Denim (does not need soaking before wearing)"

had them for 4 wks. I need to get these hemmed a couple inches shorter. I live in Minneapolis, USA. Feeling like it is worth sending them out to get proper chain stitched… Any suggestions, recommendations?

Thanks

[wakeupscreaming]

Get them chainstiched. They're worth it. Edit: Just Re-read your post; http://www.selfedge.com/ would be my first idea in the US.

First crotch fix.

If SE doesn't do mail in chain stitching, you can try Tate + Yoko in Montreal or Dutil in Toronto.

Or Blue in Green in New York. Railcar in California also does hemming

Blue Owl Workshop in Seattle, no question.  Jay is a great dude and is the only person I will send my jeans to for hemming, even though I live in Raleigh NC and the Raleigh Denim Curatory is 15 min away.  24hr turnaround and spectacular service and quality hemming job.  $25 per pair for hemming, plus return shipping.  Just put a note in with your request (thread color, length, whatever) and contact info and he'll get you sorted out.

Almost 9 months… Where does the time go? Pics tomorrow. ( I did take some today, but they didn't look great).

[Seul]

Eagerly awaiting those pics mate!..

[rocket]

me too…

[Morose_Penguin]

They won't be too exciting… Camera choices limited to phone or 4 year old Cyber-shot...

I'd enlist some help from a couple of camera geeks at work, but they already think I'm mad :(.

[rocket]

so where is the deal, if you already mad in their view, gohead proudly to the next level  and again any pic is way better as no pic at all…

[Morose_Penguin]

" So Jay, do you mind photographing a pair of jeans for me??"

Hmm, that might work… I shall find out tomorrow.

[Morose_Penguin]

Natural light, no Sun.

9 months tomorrow - stuck at work, so it's happening today.

Evening and days off only.

4 months solo, 5 months in rotation. No wash. Although they have been rained/snowed/hailed on a bit. Probably aiming for a wash after 1 year, but maybe later.

Ok pics:
