Cant say thanks enough to denim therapy in NYC

100% recommend. the pics dont give it justice

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

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.

Thanks G. Will do.

Just noticed this rip on the buttonhole of my new FH Wabash shirt just after some tips on how to fix it?

Cheers

[Jord666]

Can anyone help me out here? Do I cut the old stitching away on the one side or just keep it there and stitch over it?

[Max Power]

I had this on my old FH wabash as well. I just stitched by going through the denim and the hole, if you get what I mean. Holds perfectly.

Smart guy here, tried to put my knife in my pocket without closing it and this is what I got. Guess I'm lucky I didn't get stabbed haha

Try to repair or leave? Don't think it'll get worse vertically
