Thanks jimmy. The bottom corner of the button-hole has unraveled and is traveling toward the loop. The other 3/4 is fine, but its getting worse each time they're buttoned. They just started to break-in, its the seventh week, shame to have to soak 'em again so they can be fixed.

Would it be fine contacting him by email?

Googled blanket-stitch. If I did it real tight would it hold long-term or does the button-holer make a difference? I don't have a problem sending them away if that's the best. Thanks for the help!

I don't know Roy, I just know he has the machine. Not many private tailors has one as it's a pricy machine just to do one thing.

Doing blanket stitch would be just as strong if not stronger. Need to use nice and thick top stitch thread.

I don't think Roy is in the repair business

I don't know Roy either. Gonna do it myself, it'll mean more that way. Thanks again. I had no idea what a blanket stitch was before I asked.

The thread around the top button hole on my SR's is coming loose. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it something I need to have fixed ASAP? And can it be done by a regular sewing machine or do I need to send it to Self-Edge or Giles? Thanks.

Is this the sort of thing you're refering to? If it is I better get it fixed asap.

damn…who else got some of these?

@ D97x7: It's more like what's happening on the bottom of the button-hole in the picture (that's a sad picture :(), with less fraying and more of the thread unraveling. ASAP is right, gonna go buy some thread and a needle today or tomorrow. Anyone know what size needle is best? I'll look around…
