        G, inpatient American here  :D…..any idea when the tentative SS18 release schedule will drop?

        @Giles:

        I may be able to do it in the next week or so….

        Praise the Lord!  😉

          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

          Maybe so. Maybe not

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

                    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…

                        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.

                        Maybe so. Maybe not

                            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

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

                              Thanks @UnTucked
