        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.

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

                        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  🙂

                                    @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.
                                    Result

                                        I think I´ll dye a white loopwheel tee, could look nice because the white threads should stay white because they are polycotton (I think…) @Giles Is that correct?
