      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

          have to look for the before pictures  😶

                I feel the same way.  That said, everything else was very well done and is basically invisible, which I like quite a bit.

                  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 😉

                  considering the way the crotch was i am very happy with the repair.  it's funny my other crotch repairs are uncomfortable as hell & the repairs actually caused me to stop wearing most of the jeans  😠  having my nuts feel like they are in a small a$$ cardboard box is not a good look  😠  these jeans feel just the same as before they left me for repairs.

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

                        if i had a darning machine or a halfway decent sewing machine i'd do it myself, but alas i do not.  i don't even have enough space to put a sewing machine at the present moment.    So i must rely on the handiwork of others in this case.  If it were my car then i'd be in the driveway all day yelling obscenities and getting covered in oil and grease.

                            Hi!

                            I've got two jeans that need shortening in the waist.

                            Does anybody know where I can have done this? So I looking for someone that can repair / alter denim in a professional way.

                            Thanks and kind regards,

                            Johannes

                                I have yet to see a pair of jeans taken in that looks right. Something always looks "off". Either the pockets are too far back or it looks like a cinch bag.

                                Just an observation

                                    Hand-sewn Button-hole, my first.  Sewn over top of what's left of the original buttonhole (that's why it's so wide).  It's held for seven months…

                                          Some things I'm getting done on my 666-XHS'es by the Denim Doctor…

                                          Would like a piece of denim that covers the entirety of the stitching on the right pocket… I carry my knife there and am afraid constant pulling it out/ putting it back will damage pocket and stitching. Maybe re-inforce coin pocket as well.

                                          Re-inforce crotch. Not really anything dramatic happening but still… "A stitch in time saves nine" ey!..

                                          Not sure whether it's possible to have a protective layer sewed over the knees, or whether I'll have to patch 'm up… Either way: not looking for a stealth job at all... They just have to be able to withstand more abuse...

                                          Self explanatory.

                                          Gonna have them hemmed another 0.5". No need for cuffing then => no need to worry about hem fraying…

                                          Top two button holes need to be re-inforced.

                                          He can use as much of this cloth of 25 oz. denim as he desires  🙂
