Repairs & Modifications

[Johannes]

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

Knee: 9"

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.

[Finn666]

are you able to post some pics of his work?…really thinking about sending my jeans in...def. need to talk to him during the next days!

[Megatron1505]

I cannot wait for the IH-MINI's to get here, the work done on them looks nothing short of incredible
