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

        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.

          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….

          Thanks G. Will do.

              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?

                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.

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

                          If you clip your knife to your pocket the same way I do it, you should be grateful to still have two legs!..

                            sorry no images from the outside. i started to do it & then said maybe i should take a few pics to document it . . .

                            not pretty but it doesn't bother my undercarriage & should hold until December when I send them in for a rebuild.

                            again not pretty, but it serves it's purpose

                              Any recommendations?  I'm going to fix them up myself because I'm stubborn like that, but wondering if there might be any tricks of which I am ignorant.

                              By the way, only damage from a 65-70 mph motorcycle wreck.  IH is the shit.

                                glad you okay.

                                i understand stubborn, but you might want to enlist help from a pro . . .

                                to continue with images here's my self repair:

                                way too many imagines i'm really sorry, but i couldn't decide on the best representation. i was hoping it would last until December or so doesn't look like it will go another week . . .

                                  ^^this can be fixed pretty easily TJ…just add a piece of denim big enough to cover the spot on the inside and sew the fuck out of you 😉 should do the trick!

                                  patched my crotch from my 555-03`s as well the other day...images when i have a minute!

                                    First repairs on my Eternal 883, done by Mr. Ruttloff and his Juki bartack machine. Nice and clean way to fix loose threads.
