      Ill have to get some pics of the SRs.

      Since we are on the subject of heavy duty and Modding, this is what happens when your chain ring breaks…

      Quarter inch thick bridle strap, solid brass D and solid brass rivets. Or as I like to call it, the forever mod… if I break this one, I'm done with wallet chains.

              @Seul:

              It might be frowned upon on SuFu, but then you should know that SuFu's ratio of arseholes to good lads is 9:1… Here it's the other way around: 9 decent folk and me... But I have had jeans tapered myself so you're good...  😉

              I second this.  Your money, your jeans, do what you want to make them perfect for you.  No one needs to get their panties in a wad about it.  That intolerant SuFu vibe isn't worth the time.

              We try to be nicer here (even Seul).

                Just got my SG2109's back from Denim Therapy (denimtherapy.com).  Had the crotch repaired and heavily reinforced, got em hemmed, and the pocket bags were more or less rebuilt.  Overall I'm very happy with the work they did

                I'll get pics of the work up sometime soon…

                Never got around to getting these up, but for reference…

                The new pocket bags...

                The inside of the crotch…

                and the outer appearance…

                    I wanted a black IH- Beanie, could only get grey, so I dyed it charcoal grey and I think it's better for it.

                        I thought those were acrylic?  Didn't realize they would be dye-able.  Nicely done, Mega.

                          They're a cotton blend, so if you use a black dye this is the result  🙂

                            Got it.  The uncertainty of the final product is one of the things I like about home dyeing projects.

                                  I needed to re-chainstitch the hem of my IH-634-XHS today.  I had worn completely through the denim in a couple of places.  This causes problems when feeding through the folder on Unity.  So I sewed on a patch of denim on the inside (mere 21oz) and then hemmed them.  So we had 3 layers of 21oz and 3 layers of 25oz to stitch through.  Unity barely noticed…

                                    My 634 have been looking a little worn of late. I have done a few repairs myself, but been looking for someone to do a proper job.

                                    here are some before and after pictures.

                                    Some of you may think this is fine, in which case head to the denim doctor, I dont. 😞

                                    He did some Levi's at the same time which I have now thrown away. He also took in the waist on a pair of Ironhearts. Similar standard of work to the hemming below.

                                    I emailed and told him i felt that the job was bad, and that he had ruined one pair completely. He said it was the best he could do, and his work is respected in the selvedge community.

                                    The only positive thing I can say is he is a nice enough chap.

                                    i have started to unpick it all, which is unfortunately damaging the jeans further, but if i wanted iron on patches and bad sewing machine stitching i could have got my mum on the case!

                                    If someone knows somewhere other than Self Edge in New York to get proper repair work done let me know  😃

                                      Lotta of those repairs don't really make sense… But I know nowt about sewing/ repairing so I'll wait for someone a bit more knowledgeable to weigh in...

                                      Just to make this clear: these repairs were done by the Denim Doctor based in the USA, right?..
