        Get with the programme @den1mhead .  Learn how to sew.  I have spent most of the day sewing patches onto IHC-16's.  It can be done  🙂

          I did try to sew the badges onto my USAAF Type B-15 Jacket and it looked ok from the outside but looking at the jacket from the inside was a huge disappointment and I simply couldn't live with it. I know myself well enough to know that the badges have to be stitched on just so, as well as looking clean from the inside, and my skill level falls well short of the mark. Props to you for sewing patches onto IHC-16's 👍

            Jules has a pair of Viberg engineers shown on LHS with chrome hardware that she would love to replace with brass hardware as shown on my IHTB-BOBRN on RHS. Does anyone know where hardware can be replaced on engineer boots? @Giles could IHUK replace hardware on Jules' boots?

              Assuming you could acquire the brass buckles,I’m thinking you would just need a good local cobbler to do the switch for you. Anything involving shipping could get really expensive.

                My most worn pants are starting to get a hole. I thought I would try a fix at home. I had some NoSo patches left over from a Patagonia nano puff tear. Supposedly these patches also work on cotton. I’ll see what happens, but thought this might slow down the damage. Patched from the inside and then set with a hair dryer on high heat.

                  @Penardont:

                  I once took very high-quality cotton jeans, I really liked them, I still wear them and cotton pajamas in the form of a cat. I want to know what thread is suitable for sewing these cotton things if they suddenly break. Is a regular thread from the market suitable for these things for daily use? Jeans are usually tight, and pajamas are like this https://www.onesiezoo.com/ , and how to sew them better?. Things are just very high quality and I'm afraid that the child may break accidentally, I would not really like to throw it away and buy it again. So I really ask for advice on what I need to do with them. Thank you for your help, God bless you

                  I use this thread to make repairs. It is very strong and matches the jeans yellow color very closely.

                  I am bored to tears so fixed that broken stitch so it won't pull through.

                        My pair of 666-XHS jeans are starting to develop a hole in the crotch.  Should I worry about it or just wear them until it gets worse?

                        Here are two pictures of what I am seeing:

                        In November I posted these pictures and asked for advice on what to do.  The advice was received and after speaking with @Chesson I sent my jeans in to be fixed.

                        They just arrived and I am very happy and wanted to share the results with you.  Special shout out to Alex Chesson and his magic.  Great Job!!

                            I made some good progress sewing the patch back on with my sewing awl. I am going to have to switch to the yellow kevlar thread so it won't break. I got halfway across the top and the thread broke. There is definitely a learning curve with this tool, and lots of blood. 😂
