Samurai S5000VX21oz update

So, I took my jeans into Sydney's to get the crotch tears and back pocket holes repaired. They send it out to their tailors who conduct the repairs, and ended up doing an amazing job. The back pocket was an especially good job - the back pocket was unstitched, patched, and sewn back on. The repairs are pretty much invisble from the outside of the jeans. You'd have to look very very close to see the stitching.

Update: I played around with the white-balance and the photos below are the best approximation of the true colour.
I also picked up a pair of sweatpants from Roots. Finally found a pair made of 100% cotton. I've been looking for so long, and I was resigned to the fact that they would never make anything other than cotton-poly blends because people like how 'soft' the blend feels. I picked up a terry cotton sweatshirt last year at the GAP. Well, that's another check in the box - 100% cotton sweats.
