Repairs & Modifications

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

Simon

Thanks mate.

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

Apparently the Edwin store do repairs too. I was thinking of trying them out.
