@jvicente86:

Anyone have experience with getting the waist taken in on a pair of denim? I know railcar offers this service but not sure how much it will change the fit of the jeans.

Never done it, but I assume they take a dart out from where the side seam meets the waist band on each side, then re-fell the seams and sew. It would have to affect the fit of the top block to a degree…

Somehow I imagined the Hachioji repairs to be a bit less visible.  ???

Oh, and they forgot the butt, @Giles .

What you guys think of this rough spot ? Do you think I should consider repair or leave it since it’s 25oz thick denim

I'm usually an advocate for the "repair early, repair often" school of thought, but I wouldn't do anything to that spot.

Rain is seriously the best! So happy she has been so successful in her work.

They look good as new, Chris. You must be glad to have those back.

@Chris Do you have a "before"

I didn't take any, but happily, Rain did-

There really wasn't much to be done; there was a hole by the right pocket, and another above the left knee, the hems were fraying a bit, and there were a couple of weak spots here and there.  Naturally, she repaired more than I even realized needed it, because she's a damn master.

So I’m really fecking pissed at myself. I was in not being careful and in getting my fecking fat head through the neck hole of my brand new IHSW 23, I managed to get a rip down the middle.

I am assuming this is repairable, but I have no experience with swear shirt material.

Anybody have any suggestions or feedback of who I can send this to?

Shit, that sucks, you have my sympathies. Should be an easy fix for any half decent seamstress/tailor though. Just trim the edges and join.

I was hoping to hear that…as I have been looking on the internet I was thinking I may modify it with some buttons...then I can give it some versatility
