      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.

          @Giles:

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

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

          Maybe so. Maybe not

            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…

              @Matty123 That'll work just fine.

                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.

                    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

                            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]
