My IH-634S have never had any sort of attention so I decided to finally give them a little. The Front pockets were both on the verge of fully blowing out. The right was a bit stronger but both were in dire need of some fixing. Below are photos of the home repairs.

Before:

Thanks guys. Nothing professional I know. Just prefer the personal touch that comes from doing it yourself. I used the Red threading on the Right pocket just for something different. Actually looking to do a bunch more sewing and what not in the future. Thinking about possibly even borrowing my sisters machine and practicing.

Pretty much came outta nowhere… Someone remind me to tell Michael to wear goggles... And a helmet...

Seul, how long did it take to go like that?

The bane of cuffs- horizontal wear lines.  Another reason not to do it.;)

[injunjack]

and for some reason all my IHs develop these much faster than lighter weight denim….I guess it's price you pay...

[Seul]

Yeah you're right… But it didn't happen when I wore 'm cuffed the first couple of months... Bit weird...

My ALDs (14 oz) don't have this and I've worn them cuffed since the start  :-\

I think it is a function of the stiffness of the denim….
