IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[chewie]

Crotch seam starting to get loose should i get this repaired now or not to worry till it gets a lot worse?

[Jii]

Haha, used my mom's washing machine and did a 40-degree wash without a spinning cycle to get the most of the shrink out. Blue hands and a huge smile - these will turn out great! I'll get them hemmed at DC4 before we go back home I got about an inch off in the waist and two in length, the thighs are a-ok.

Fix it now, Chewie.  I'm a big proponent of preventive maintenance.  You can do it yourself with a needle and thread, shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes.

[tatmantall]

I'm with Chris on doing it now… Taking a few minutes with needle and thread is an easy DIY fix where as if that goes unattended too long you will likely have to take it in for professional repair unless you are handier than me

[chewie]

Thanks guys, just fixed it just now. was easier than i thought. Except getting the needle thru the center (was super thick)

Probably also saved me from an embarrassing moment since the seam looked like it could blow out at any moment.

[Snowy]

Nice one chewie, getting in the and preventing blowouts is a great step. Your jeans are going to have many more months/years of happy wear, and indeed they've become one step more yours

need your advice mate, just give this devil a stack or hem it? thanks!

[Max Power]

Like I worte on Sufu : hem them. Way too much fabric…

[spitfiredealer]

I never understand why people ask if they should hem or not! Surely you can see you need too.

[Arabit]

I would go for a hem or cuff sir. Just my opinion though, wear them as you like

spitfiredealer
because i need some advice, i feel confused to hem it or just let give this jeans stack
Max Power
thanks, how much inch do you think? 2" maybe?
Arabit
thank you arabit, i consider to give this jeans stack

[Chris]

I think 2" is a good bet, I might do more, but it's hard to tell based on the pictures.

[Max Power]

You can fold them on the inside to simulate the length. And add ~0,75" for combs and futre shrinkage.

[chewie]

Richie, i think your stacks look fine. but i guess if you want a cleaner look, hem them.
curious….if cuffed, are you at a triple cuff?

[tatmantall]

I think its completely up to you… Once your stacks settle I think it'll look fine but a hem could look great too... Just completely up to what appeals to you man.

[richiealexander]

@chris
yap i consider to hem it by 2" too, because now its about 32" length
@max power
will do, thanks mate
@chewie
thanks for your suggestion, hmm yap that's right mate
@tatmantall
