Some chain stitching at the crotch junction has let loose. Pictures are below. I have thread to use. My question is do you guys think I can effectively  mend this with a needle and thread? These are my 888NT 1 Soak and one wash before I wore them 75F water

[Giles]

Yes, you can.  You'll need super tough thread and a man-sized needle.

I have worked on my XHS there so it’s doable for sure. Super sharp robust needle needed and a high pain tolerance. Thimbles made of kevlar would probably help too.

I use a pair of pliers….

I have thread that guy guys sent me to repair my 634s. Will
That do? Or will I need a different type?

[neph93]

I got me seamstress to find me some appropriate strength thread. Colour didn’t match but it was the the crotch so nfg. Now G mentions it, my Leatherman was indespensible for drawing the needle through. Wish I had kevlar thimbles though…

[Giles]

@Matty123 That'll work just fine.

[Matty123]

Thanks fellas. I appreciate the help. My fingers are cracked to bits cuz of the cold so the pliers is great advice. I will go to the craft store to get a killer needle.

A "Speedy Stitcher" would work best…

Also known as a sewing awl…

Working on my Mister Freedom jacket, the fabric was far less "robust", and it's was EXTREMELY difficult to do by hand... I upgraded to a sewing awl, and it was a breeze

[Matty123]

So the 21/23 is significantly more difficult to see through as compared to the 21oz?

Thanks @UnTucked

Oh yes.

[Matty123]

I meant sew. Still yes? Damn

I’m in the middle of breaking 10 month old Edward’s boob habit so it was the middle of the night when I saw that and I read «sew». You’re good [emoji1417]
