When we hem any denim over 14oz, it is necessary (adviseable) to hammer the hem into submission before we get to the sewing machine.  I have a slab of cast iron covered with denim, which is effectively the anvil.

I've just a very quick and dirty calculation.  In excess of 20,000 pairs of jeans have been beaten up on the OG denim….
