        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  🙂

                          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.
