Repairs & Modifications

@Giles:

I'm afraid answer is.  Sell them on the secondary market and buy a pair that fit…..

That's the answer I've been getting. I've tried selling with no luck. Looks like I'm out of luck.

these have been repaired by SELA once and SENY once. There is another hole opening along the perimeter of the darning machine repair. The SELA patch has held up very well as it was the first repair almost three years ago iirc.

My grey 64 seemed to have much longer arms than my black 64. So much so that I wasn't wearing it much.
So took the plunge and got them shortened

Pretty pleased with the result

On a recent trip to Paris, I had my Beatle Busters repaired at http://www.repairjeans.com. Georges has been in business for over 40 years and with my few words of french we even managed to communicate a bit It took him only 2 hours to reinforce the cuffs, knee and front pockets with stitches and to patch + reinforce the crotch that started to wear out. I think he did an amazing job for a very reasonable price.

I have a this seasons Levis Barstow flannel shirt that I got for £10 new, because one of the pocket button clips does does not work.

The clip has three parts

1. A male clip on the pocket
2. A female-male clip which covers 1.
3. A female clip on the pocket flap

The problem is that 1 and 2 do not clip together. Any ideas how to get these clipped together. Do I need a special tool for this.

Pictures would help.

[sisterray]

Yeah, sorry. In the image below. The clip in the middle, with gripper written on it is supposed to cover the clip below it.

You may have seen on the following thread that I an after a SExIH07BKIII [Long] jacket . . . . . . . . .

Iron Heart Forum » The Marketplace » Stuff to Trade » My IH-526L size 40 for your SExIH07BKIII [Long] size 40 or 42

So being the impatient man than I am I decided to over-dye my Sample Iron Heart 14oz indigo selvedge denim modified type III . . . . . . .

Thoughts . . . . . .

I've been after a long bodied overdyed type III such as SExIH07BKIII [Long] but there just dont seem to be any around. So after winning the Sample Iron Heart 14oz indigo selvedge denim modified type III AUCTION I decided to do it myself. Result

@den1mhead

What dye did you use?

[den1mhead]

@spitfiredealer I used dylon purchased from supermarket.
Pop item in machine on a 40 degree's C wash then dry away from direct heat and sunlight.
I skip the step to wash the item after dying.
