      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.

      PUT DOWN THAT STARBUCKS, PICK UP THAT GNARBUCKS!!

              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  🙂

                            IH-9634Z, slightly tapered. Was aiming for a fit like the 666XHS with a slightly slimmer legopening.

                            Thight: 11.75/ 12"
                            Knee: 9"
                            Hem: 8"

                              Just had a chat with The Denim Doctor about getting my IH634s tapered a bit, sounds like it's gonna be a good job.
                              Should find out sometime next week when they get posted back.

                                      634s arrived back today from the Denim Doctor.
                                      He has made a fantastic job with turn round in under a week.
                                      Basically from thigh to hem has been taken in an inch and the seat has had the same.
                                      The fit suits me better now.
                                      I would recommend his work any time.
