THE DETAILS
Size: 30, Length of Wear: 9 months, How Many Washes: 1
First off, sorry about the gritty quality of the pics. I’m afraid it doesn’t get any better with an iPhone.
1 ocean soak.
The denim is 19oz Kurabo denim from Japan. The jeans are made in Sweden. Leather for the super thick patch is produced in Tärnsjö, Sweden. I’ve been wearing these jeans since april 2012 and I LOVE THESE JEANS! These are the best pair of raw denim I’ve come across so far. Every single detail is well thought out, like the buttons in the fly, which are sown on instead of hammered. Sown with kevlar thread from DuPont. It’s fibers are 5 times stronger than steel. The selvage lining is yellow/yellow on the right leg and yellow/blue on the left. Only interlock and chainstitch seams used. Additional details are:
- triple stitching on yoke and inseam
- chain stitched hems
- reinforcement inside the back pockets, double bartack on the stress points of the back pockets
- genuine copper rivets mounted by hand (by Per-Ivan Hagberg himself)
- V-shape back belt loop
- a hidden iPhone pocket inside the left front pocket.
Sincere thanks and serious respect to Per-Ivan Hagberg for making these jeans. Rest in peace.

They are looking fantastic. I recently managed to get a pair before they are gone forever and am just about at the stage where they are comfortable! One thing i wanted to ask…how are your button holes looking after a year? I assume they are like mine, and are not actually sewn up (just cut into the denim)? I am worried that the denim might tear once it gets older/softer?
Anyway…back to work.

Hi Jamie!
Yeah, my button holes are the same as yours and yes, as you wear them they’ll get pretty beaten up, but they’re still working just fine. With the 19oz denim it’s not a problem really and I’m just short of a year now, and they’re still doing the job just as well as they did when I first picked ‘em up. So there’s no real need to worry. But if you feel necessary I’m sure you can get the button holes reinforced at your local tailor or where ever.
Here’s a pic of the button holes taken today (20130313 near the 1 year mark):
