nietenhosen more info on the shirt.

thank you

[nietenhosen]

a piece from the purse-maker.
made this denim work (or whatever) shirt a few weeks ago.

[madmonday]

purse maker is talented.  great shirt & the jeans for the youngster were very good as well.  should put up detail shots (if you get the time) in the hobby/crafts thread.

really great stuff

oh & your 666s aren't too shabby

[crankyfart]

was checking how my 666S have evo after wearing it for a few weeks and just found this.

notice the first thread snapped. (to the left counting from the middle and the 2nd one seems like its going soon) anyone facing this issue too? wondering would it tear the entire area below? not sure if this is what's deemed as crotch blow cos my LVC did not look like that. and this is a thread snapped; not tear on the denim.

Nicholas,

Sorry, It appears yours are missing the bar tack at the crotch.  That is an omission of ours.  We can get that fixed for you.

Please PM me.

mine has looked like that for over a year.. I haven't touched it and it's still fine.

yours got a thread snapped too?

[elclintor]

yep. I'm pretty sure there is more constructional stitching holding it together than what you see on the outside.

I worried about it for a while, but then said fekkit. if it happens, it happens and I'll get it fixed.

Haven't had to yet.

G offered to bar tack them for me, but I didn't want to take them off my legs, so I passed.

[nietenhosen]

mine is from the first run with no bar tack. it happened to mine too, seam broke after a few days wearing them. i fixed this by myself after a few months or so..
no need to worry about.

fixed yourself?! details? you did the bar tack yourself?!

Volcano..just send them to local tailor to put the bar tack.. Save you time to send it back to UK..

any local tailor able to work on it? cos I'm worried it'll be like hemming, need special tools.

so I just tell them bar tack there?

[Giles]

Does not actually need a bar tack.  Just a few strengthening stitches.  When this happened once before I jyssent them up to Aero Leathers.  They were not bar-tacked, just strengthened…..

Tailors do have an uncanny ability of fixing things w/o you being able to see what they did.  Unlike me who tries to sew a button and ends up making it look like a Frankenshirt.  I guess that's why they're tailors.

Hi all -

Are these slimmer than the Beatle Busters? I wear a size 33 in the 634RAW,  a size 34 in Beatles and a size 33 in TripleWorks.

Any advice?

Thank you,
G

[Giles]

They are a different shape, slimmer in some areas, a little fuller in others.  Compare the sizing charts…However I wear a 33 in all IH Denim.

[GJLW]

Thanks - thinking about getting them in a 33 but don't want them to be uncomfortably tight on thighs

try measuring your thighs. mine's about 12" and it's exactly the measurement for the W33 (my actual waist) so it was worrying for me as there's very minimal or almost no allowance at the thigh area.

but anyway its only the initial 2-3 wears that's a little little uncomfortable. after that, it stretches and feels so awesome!

I'm glad I followed G's advice.
