Repairs & Modifications

[llvlaglne]

Been doing a lot of work on my nudies, 301s, SE05BSPs, and SRs. At times when repairs can be done by me, I'll just use some need and thread. The nudies and 301s have been through a lot of repairs thanks to Andrew and Thomas at SENY.

But the hands are getting a bit achy trying to tame 21 and the 23oz fabric with just needle and thread. For those who actually do their own repairs and mods, can you guys share/suggest what machines you use?

So my pair of A13 size 29. Thighs measured 11,25 inch before now they measure 12,25 inch.
We decided to go with a 12oz denim (best we could find).

Cant say thanks enough to denim therapy in NYC

they did a great job on the crotch as well as the right seat pocket where my ridiculously large wallet did work.

100% recommend. the pics dont give it justice

I just got my vulcans back from Railcar Fine Foods and I'm fully amazed. I'll put up pics later.

I'll say one thing about Alex, he sure knows how to beat up a pair of jeans….These have just come back from the Works, where they undertook a major refurb.

Received my 9301s today but I noticed the right hem stitch is coming out (~2 inch). Repair now or later? Also, can I trust just anyone to hem 21oz? Thanks

[Giles]

I'd hand-stitch a few stitches.  Start by catching in the chain (just a stitch or 2 over the existing stitching to stop it unravelling) at one end of the "jump", then stitch along the line where the stitching should be and then catch in the other end of the chain….

Very impressive tight stitching. You did all that by hand?

[llvlaglne]

Yep, took a little bit of time. It's easier to prevent big tears and fraying from occurring as long as its taken care of early.
