        Thick cotton (embroidery?) thread from my local crafty store to repair the seam wrap and warp fibers from the large denim tag on the BB’s to repair the fraying cuff.

          Hmmm…will have to see what I can find as extra warp I don't have. Of course I expect this to be an ongoing problem anyway....

            For the seam wrap (or just about any repair to constructional stitching) I would try and get what is known as 36's Polycore.  It is monster tough and very similar to what we use for our constructional stitching thread.  We get ours from here…

                    Thanks mate.

                    There is just something nerve wracking about putting 5 pairs of irreplaceable jeans into the post.

                                All of them these last years. LA, NY and Portland recently. No difference. Working there true artisan. Impressive.

                                      We do now.  It's just that I have not had time to formalise it…..
