Repairs & Modifications

excellent project jaco, with pitch perfect execution from you & the little ones.    funny thing is i've been reading up on that stuff trying to figure out if i was going to use it to waterproof/windproof a garment.

should be needless to say you've sold me on the product 

***& as an after thought, you might get the slow&steady award for your SRs this winter.

good job for staying the course

@jacoavlu:

well done and great to see that it works…

how´s the smell though?...i somehow hate the smell of my barbour.

[jacoavlu]

thanks monday
the greenland wax is perfect for a not so serious guy like me

finn, there's basically no smell, certainly nothing unpleasant, I did it all indoors and my wife never complained

How should I decide what the best length is for my 666XHS'es?.. I measured my SEXIH07bks and they measure 31.8 but they're a tad too long… If I cuff the XHS'es to the length I want them to be, the hem measures 2.5", and they measure 33" now, so I'd need a 30.5"... My ALDs measure closer to 31" though... Should I play it on the safe side and get them hemmed to 31.5 or should a 31 inseam do (I'm only 5.75')?.. Any advice on how to accurately decide on the length?..

Thanks.

[Finn666]

Love the fit of the sammiestein's…

[Seul]

Yeah the 512xx'es look really good!.. 3007 looks a bit tight, but I know you like your jeans like that so disregard!..

(So jealous on you having snow btw…)

[Guest]

cheers ppl…..the Sammies are spot on,,,,and yes the 3007s are too tight,,wearable,,but tight,,,so they may be put up fer grabs/trade ;),,and Seul,,,most of the snow has gone,,,,jus slush left now

the button holes of my sr need a little repair–-they begin to fray...the third hole is not ready;-)

the 25 oz 634 begin to fray too….preventative stitching around the two button holes-the third never button up:-)

[jimmy]

jaco- that is the coolest thing i've seen in a long time. Seems way easier than using barbour. Thanks!

@madmonday:

i just saw what you did on the other side lando, good job (what i am Inspector Clouseau)  D666 when you get a moment you should put those repairs up in the appropriate thread.  & to stay off topic is the crotch repair comfortable?  HAhahahaha, but i'm serious.  i'll explain in the appropriate thread

wholly crotch images just to memorialize my 666s as they are:

view from the outside:

pork&beans view:

have been washed & the stray stitches & mess have been clipped & they are just waiting to make the trip to get repaired.  i need more time in the day or maybe an additional few hours in the day to get stuff done 

guess it's worse problems to have, so i'll stop the whining

Damn, that is nice work.  Gotta admire that skill level.

[hectic]

I've got a pair of Strike Golds with the Denim Doctor for tapering and repair. He seems like a good guy, you guys have had some positive experience with him right?

[Finn666]

IIRC then Seul had his 634s tapered by him and he was more than happy with the outcome…so i think you shouldn´t worry about it!
