Still have to do the cuffs (another time in the near future). For the butt patches, I used 18oz IH denim that @Filthy kindly cut off a pant leg for me.

Looks great, I love the sashiko-style mending.  I'm glad I have the hem cutoffs from my xhs so I can use that for mending down the road

Yeah, mine aren’t hemmed so I have been lucky that Filthy gave me his cuts

Used some more of the 18oz fabric @Filthy gave me to patch the one heel-dragged-to-death cuff of mine, and was able to line up the selvedge ID line and match the thickness of the cuff just for shits & giggles. Still have to do the other cuff. Didn’t attach the very bottom of the hem to the new hem, because I kinda like the way the new hem is peaking out from the old one.

Fixed the other heel. On Friday someone noted how much I had patched these & said “You must really like those jeans to keep repairing them!”, of course I do!

Of course! Would love to mend more jeans just to learn more!

blew out the right knee while doing the blower motor in the wagon, gonna patch them as long as I’ve got scraps still. These jeans have done 2 blower motors now they’re my lucky blower motor jeans

Thanks, I feel like they are just finally starting to break in their stride

I wore these for the Indigo Invitational, not to try and win or prematurely wear jeans just to win, but moreso to keep motivation on wearing a pair of jeans instead of rotating. So here it is, a year of wear:

I need to patch the right knee but haven't had the time yet. I have repaired with patches both rear hems, 3 patches on the left knee, a patch on the right lower thigh, patch on the upper right crotch area due to a whisker starting to blow out, a left pocket bag reinforcement due to a rip, a top buttonhole reinforcement, two patches on the butt of the pants where my bony ass wore through, and reattached the top part of the rear right pocket. I didn't really keep track of washes or soaks, but its probably about 10, and really I washed them when they were saturated with sawdust, oil, or metal shavings. They aren't high in contrast due to the washing regimen, but also just the fact that this denim holds onto the dye better than other jeans I have. All my other jeans have definable whiskers and I wash those about as frequently as these. Once these get retired, I figure I will try out washing less frequently for the first few months.

Really well done for 21oz OD!! I think those are the hardest to fade out of the IH catalogue. You gave these a proper thrashing Seth!

Thank you! Just glad they held up for an entire year, don’t think another brand could’ve.
