Repairs & Modifications

Make sure to get the newest one that has the thread tensioning device on the side. Mine is older than me, and I got it second hand in the 80s when I was in Scouts.

I just ordered 2 pieces of black 1.3 mm Horween CXL so I can make a "gun pocket" to sew into the lining of my Fine Creek jacket… I have a 10 prong chisel I purchased to perforate new IH leather patches and am gonna use that to make sort of a 1 inch deep 3-dimensional inside pocket.
I have a curved sewing needle so I can sew the pocket onto the liner without having to remove it.
I want to make sort of a box shaped pocket like the ones on those German moleskin pants. But not as deep. Maybe like 5 inches deep?
I'll let everybody know how I get on when the stuff arrives.
-
I support and admire your willingness to put the needle to your fantastic FCL jacket.

The fabric liner of my FCL jacket, not the leather. It doesn't have any pockets other than the 2 chest pockets, internal or otherwise. -
I'm pleased to report that the ani-squeak surgical procedure on my Vibergs has worked.
I drilled into the sole on about a 45 degree angle in 2 spots and injected a couple CCs of boot oil into the hole.

My beloved 634S are 3 yrs old and need some repairs. Unnecessary to say it needs to be in style.
Any suggestions?
-
Thanks @Chap and I'm sure this would be done excellent in Gosport. However, since shipping can be a little unreliable and time-consuming* I was more hoping for suggestions how to get it repaired at my local alteration shop. They would just need to know what to do …
- One of my deliveries from Gosport is still held in German customs since March 18th.

I’m guessing that for the time being the crotch area is holding up. While the spots you showed seemed minor to me, if they’re bothering you then by all means have them repaired. I also think it would be totally worth whatever inconvenience to have it done by IH. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

Your jeans, your choice @endo but if they were mine the only one I’d fix would be the back pocket. The wear on the fly and the busted thread aren’t structural problems. If you want a repair that is difficult to see then you may need a denim specialist, but again, if they were mine I would put a patch on the inside of the pocket and do some sashiko by hand to fix it.

I only would fix the loose thread on the front pocket… that would madden me
You're in Germany right @endo DC4 in Berlin offers a top notch denim repair service or you can ask @Iron Heart Germany

not on the west coast I don't.
Might be a couple over east like corlection or URAHARA (formerly godspeed store). Otherwise, I've use Anthill workshop, recommended to me by a mate in Perth. they are based in Melbourne and did a very good repair on my pair of resolutes (i think) look them up on fb

@Snowy perhaps could also help with spitfiredealer’s question.
Took my IH-666S18 in for crotch work (temper your excitement, I mean denim repair)
I was a bit worried but they did great.

Picked up a XXXL IHV-02DD from Grailed a couple weeks ago. Took the sides in a bit to bring it down to about L-XL but still with the length of a XXXL.
Haven't pressed the outer seams yet. Also, still trying to decide if I want to cut the excess on the inside and throw it through a serger, or leave it as it in case I want to remove the seams down the road. Also did it so it still had the original white inside tag no matter what I do.

@spitfiredealer the only repair shop I know is Anthill Workshop, which @louisbosco mentioned. They were on hiatus for a while, I think that they might be open again.
