@cj:
What would be the best way to address this? Noticed that the stitching has come loose near the waistband and since the end of the thread is quite short, I'm not sure what to do.
Many thanks!
I think you should wear those Jeans and never think about that tiny thread ever again. That is a small fray and nothing will come of it.
-
Hmmm okay. Maybe the photo isn't clear enough, but it's not a fray, rather the thread has been cut/is broken. I'm concerned that leaving it may cause the stitch to unravel (i.e. pulling the stitch in a certain direction will cause initiate the unravelling). I'll see what I can do to mitigate this…
-
That isn’t anything to worry about. I suspect it is only a loose end and even if it is a broken thread then the integral strength of the stitch will mean deterioration won’t happen. Remember, these jeans are over-engineered.
If you really need to then bind it to the rest of the stitching with thread and needle but without putting your stitches through the denim. It won’t be necessary though.

Many thanks for your input @Matty123 @neph93 @Giles. These things happen and are generally fixable (if necessary!). I suspect that the location of this loose thread won't really be of concern—it's just that I've had a cuff on a pair of jeans "unzip" after getting caught on something so thought it'd be best to see if I needed to do anything. Best to ask early than to assume! Thanks again

@Giles any chance of a broken twill denim?
-
Probably not, I mentioned it to H once. The silence was unbearable…..

I’ve always been sceptical to IH doing stretch denim, but having the Ignition versions online the idea of 20oz stretch denim is growing on me bigtime. Being able to buy from IHUK with the attendant customer service and detailed info would make it a no-brainer.
That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if it is Ignition proprietary stuff, at least for a while.

If we are offered it we will take it, but we won't lobby for it…

Does anyone else find stretch denim to be very hot? I may have asked this before. Probably because the tension on the weave… but hot stuff for sure
-
I hate the idea in theory but the older i get the more the waist line yoyo’s month to month.

Yes, I find any Polyester clothing pretty much unbearable. Even 5% I can feel the difference.

^ good point. I didn’t think if the elastase as polyester. But that makes sense
