Self Edge x Iron Heart = SEXIH22-301s

They look great, who did the repair?

[beef_bonanza]

It was Melvin Rakers. Formerly Mr. Handy Denim Repair. Really pleased with the result.

How did you arrange for Melvin to repair them?  I sent a pair of jeans to him through Vater and Sohn.  He held the jeans for 2 months and then decided to return them to Vater and Sohn without repairing them.

I also have two pairs at his work to be repaired. He has them for two weeks and I haven't heard anything. I contacted him directly via email and included pictures. He gave me a quote for the repairs (no time-frame though but I didn't ask for it). Now I play the waiting game.

The communication was quite quick and easy via Facebook. I contacted him with some pictures of the holes. He gave me a cost estimation (80EUR inkl. back-shipment) which was kept and a time estimation 2-3 weeks. Then I sent the jeans directly to him on 9th of March and received it back on the 3rd of April (inkl. shipment Germany - Netherlands).

@beef_bonanza  your jeans look awesome.

I have a pair of these that I will now wear just because of your pictures.  How often did you wash?

I ask because your patch is still beautiful & my leather patches are always destroyed no matter how I launder my denim 

[beef_bonanza]

Thanks a lot 8).I gave them one initial soak and two cold machine washes. No special treatment for the patch.

Never posted these before, so here's a little update before they hit the wash and then off for some minor repairs.

Gotta pop them Tongues on the J3's

Those look great, @housekeys. Nice work!

[beef_bonanza]

100 further effective wear days down the line and off for their 3rd wash tomorrow.

Happy 2018 to everyone!

Amazing fades, @beef_bonanza

That's a garage door opener.  Despite the appearance, that probably was installed professionally.  I know ours looked almost identical after paying an "expert" to put it in…

[steelworker]

Yes @hajduk , we are Americans.    ::)  Full disclosure: I have a garage opener too.

For us, less astute observers, what denim did you score?

Edit–just checked the title thread! Haha
Great pick up!!

[Appfaff]

It’s 20oz LHT grey weft unsanforized

It was used on the 301 and 633 cuts from Self Edge only.
