@fanya:

Is lowering the rise on jeans possible?

What is the difficulty/cost/time associated with it.

Mainly lowering the back rise, a little off the front would be nice too but mainly the back.

I really would not attempt this.

G,
can it be possible in the near future at Iron Heart makes some sneakers?
IH sneakers.
Haraki can have an interest for that?

Winchy and I lusting after need a Cornelly Chainstitch Embroidery Industrial Sewing Machine.

We would like to offer a bespoke chainstitching service - get your name or whatever chainstitched onto whatever (pocket bags, shirts, jackets).

A) Does anyone know of a decent one for sale?
What do you think about the idea?

^A bit expensive though …

This could be an alternative (not sure if they do triple stitch):

Is that how Roy does his name on the pocket bags?

[MikeC]

The Singers are super rare. There are only a hand full in existence (in working order).  I'm getting my IHSH-55 worked on soon by my buddy. It's going to be a big Native American garage motif on the back with my name on the front.

Woah, looking forward to pics, dude.

[Arabit]

Sounds like a great idea G.

[joesaintjohn]

Please, help. When you soak jeans, do you flip them back out before or after they dry? Flipped one leg wet and freaked out that I had made a rookie mistake.

[jacoavlu]

before, and you can smooth out any creases that you might see

[joesaintjohn]

Phew…
