@Matt:

Thanks!  Women… can't live with them, can't afford to buy them jeans as nice as yours.

Matt, CONGRATULATIONS on your new baby!  Sorry for disrupting the thread, but want more baby details, if she’s a little girl you may find yourself eating your words…

hey giles i know these jeans are "the limit of what can be made" but are you ever gonna try to go heavier than 25oz?

[Giles]

If I asked Haraki to do so, it would be the last question I ever asked…..

[rocket]

[dave]

[entropy kid]

thanks god.

Haraki-san always says "impossible!", but…

[Matt]

You guys aren't gonna believe this, but I think she's cracking.  Today I pulled the old, "Oh honey, it's so cold outside, I hope my legs don't freeze!  Who will father our little girl!"  She's wearing down so I may be in those monsters by Halloween.

MB, the babie's a girl, a beautiful girl w/ crazy jet black hair like mine.  I can't seem to put her down so that's taking my mind off the pants for a while.

The wash is incredible but the cut doesn't fit me. 

[injunjack]

What wash? There is no "wash" in these…

You are right. The DC4001 fits me perfectly but the look and feel is not as awesome as IH-666.

@entropy:

ehhhh…why? (serious question)

Because these were at the limits of what is possible.  Indeed, we thought at one point the factory that does the weaving would say they just were not prepared to carry on.

25 oz absolut enough in pants.my opninion!

[Finn666]

@ALEX1976:

25oz…absolutely hardcore for pants.my opinion!

fixed

[Matt]

If sailors had used 25 oz denim during WWII, instead of using them as a floatation device in the event of shipwreck, they could have just used them as a raft.  I did see a pair of wax coated 634s on the SE site, I bet you can surf on those…

Breaking out the jeans later today.  The wife folded like clean laundry.  I'll report back asap.

I won!
After 15 days, they have surrendered!

The bike has been quite useful in this battle (see the sweat on my shirt), but do not try this at home, these jeans are not the ideal choice to go biking. Now infamous, are-u-tough-enough frightening 666-XHS are docile as kittens!

Great fit on the XHS Georgeel. Off topic, how did you size with your round tow Red Wings? Half size down from your regular sneaker size? Thx

[georgeel]

Yes I did, half size down from NB.
