^very easy to fix
-
It's happened to me on a pair I sized down on. Like derivative said, easy fix.
-
Thanks for the replies. I am feeling better about the situation already.
What would you recommend:
Should I fix it? Take it to a local tailor? Send it to a denim repair specialist?
-
Tailor can do it in 5 min it will cost you 5 bucks. Or you can do it yourself. I watched the tailor then did it myself.
-
Yeah, it's not a complicated fix, but if your sewing skills are as terrible as mine, it's totally worth taking the jeans to a tailor. D666 is right about the time and cost…

This was on my SR's when I got them. Didn't call customer service, didn't take them to a tailor because the buttonhole stitch is still intact. The fraying is just some frayed weft threads that were probably agitated during the sewing of the buttonholes. These jeans are almost, if not more than a year old, so nothing of consequence has happened to the jeans because of this phenomenon. I did not cut them because when I tried, I just pulled more thread out from the weave, but I didn't try very hard so it could be done with sharp scissors.

Giles: got your email, thanks for the reply.
adam313: The issue with your jeans seems similar to mine.
From what I can tell, it looks like the button hole stitch is intact, and that loose threads are poking out from under the stitching.
At any rate, I think I am just going to stop by a local tailor and see what they have to say. Then, I'll either trim the threads, or have the buttonholes re-stitched.
Thanks for your time!

Maybe you've all seen this, but it's got to be one of the funnier translation software f'ups ever.

-
Freakin good!!! It´s soaking right now. Damn, I wanna wear em and treat em bad!
-
You´re right, but I read on this nice forum, you should soak a fresh pair of jeans before you wear them. The stitches should settle and stuff like that. It´s up to you if you soak em or not. It´s the same with washing. If my pair is really dirty, I wash em of course!

Raw Denim
Always soak before wearing, not only does this shrink the raw denim to tag size, it also beds in the constructional stitching, lessening the possibility of a stitching problem (e.g. crotch blowout). Ideally soak for an hour or so in a bathtub or large sink of hot water and drip dry. If you cannot drip dry, soak up the excess water with an old towel and lie flat on a clothes rack to dry.
Think they mean Jennifer Lopez.
