Couple years ago, I bought an Original UK in OD. Didn't wear it much the first year, but this year - well, I haven't needed to wash underwear very often.

After a ludicrous number of washings, it's holding up perfectly, and that's after I started drying it in the dryer. The fabric has started to soften nicely. Love it! And I need more.

I noticed when I visited the UK tent at the Long's Peak Games, their Originals seem to be made from a softer fabric now than when I bought mine. Anyone know anything about that?

Anyway, mad props to Utilikilts and their American craftsmanship. That's a big thing for me, which is why the only jeans I'll buy are Carhartt.
