      Lando, you're totally right, but you neglected ( probably in a hurry) to see that both Seul and I said that in lighter weight denim this doesn't happen [so fast]. (or at least didn't mention anything about it) But like G said, it's most likely due to rigidity of the denim that causes it to happen so soon.

      This sort of fraying on the frontside of the hem is annoying. Never have had that happen to other jeans.
      I've already fixed my SRs and will soon put my 634S's under the sewing machine. Probably today, if I have time…

        Yes I did neglect to read the first part. And I do agree that heavier denim will wear quicker at these stress points. Guess that is the price we pay. You can always iron out your cuffs at the end of the day or unfold them so that the damage is not as severe.

                  That is a nice job.  I can't remember; did you send them to the Works for the repairs?

                    No, my local tailor fixed these. Was a bit hesitant to do that but it sure paid off.

                      since i know Jii is a pretty skilled guy i´d guess he did the job at his own!…pretty great one after looking at the pics tbh!

                      edit: just saw the tailor did it...still great repairs! 🙂

                        Wow, I'll say that paid off.  Your local tailor is impressive.

                          Finn, I am looking to get a sewing machine in the close future but I guess it will take some serious work to get up to that level 🙂

                            Guys, that ain't so hard. Hardest part is to get matching thread so that the repair doesn't jump out…

                                hopefully it's not too dark place…. I just try to encourage folks to try things on their own. Once there was a time when people did all kinds of stuff by themselves.

                                  not dark injun, it is actually a fun place where mofos say what they think despite the political correct stance that most take.

                                  i know it isn't easy being a male model  😠

                                    well then, that's cool place to be. 😉  Maybe I'll get my camera out tomorrow and show my feeble attempt on repairing my hems…

                                    and not to talk about being rolemodel for a preteenager with hormon rollercoaster. That's what's going on here. LOL

                                        666s great repairs & the best part is the repair doesn't bother my undercarriage
