Hello, I am ordering a 634 s from selfedge, I got some store credit from a returned item. My doubt is , should I get them hemmed with SE or send them to Giles. What would be the more similar to he original hem? I have seen phtos of SE hemming and it looks great, but is a bit different from the original. Is Giles using the same threads, machine etc. from the factory?

thanks a lot!

[Giles]

I use the same threads from the factory.  If SE don't, they'll use something almost identical.

Get 'm hemmed at SE… Chainstitched hem = chainstitched hem...

[Guest]

Both done on union special. I think Mabey people choose a diff thread from Giles. Self edge does the same chainstitch, I would have SelfEdge do it. If you were to ship them to Giles it would be time and extra money for the same thing.

Self Edge will be able to get it done faster and for free, still using a Union Special machine and virtually identical thread.  I wouldn't even consider sending them anywhere else.

[Guest]

Selfedge for some unknown reason is NOT free. 15 dollars. I would sell the credit and buy from Giles. Prob get them faster

^ for any jeans bought at SE hemming it's free IIRC!…

[daynym]

Why should he sell the coupon. Nobody will give him the same amount in cash…

Buy your 634s. Get it hemmed and enjoy. No need to send them around the world (you live in the states?) for a hem job.

Yea, just get it done by SE.  They did a few repairs for me and did a great job.  I don't see why they couldn't do an adequate job chain stitching….it is where I would/will have it down when necessary.

[elclintor]

Self Edge does charge $15 for hemming.

[xchen]

Doesn't Giles charge $15 too?

[Giles]

He does

[SpaceGnome]

If you buy the denim at self edge in store, chain stitching is free.

Buy from self edge on line = $15
Other stuff ought elsewhere chainstitched at SE is $25

[hanoirocks]

thanks Giles, do you use the same machine than the IH factory? I mean, is the hemming going to look like factory made? same stitching etc. The self edge stich is a bit different.

Best regards

[Giles]

No, better…......

I use a Union Special 43200G, same as factory and I use thread supplied by factory.  I finish mine off better than the factory

I forgot that all newcomers can't get the "joke" 

IJ - it's taken a while but I'm finally coming around to your sense of humour!
