        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.

          Think it, be it.

            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.

            Wants List:
            IHSH-20-Red, XL
            IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
            IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
            IHSW-45 Black, M
            IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
            IH-777S-SB size 32
            IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32
            IHJ-142-BLK or IND, M

                  @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.

                      I’ve posted this in the 805 overalls section but thought I would add here also because it is a modification. I had my tailor make sort of an upside down pocket on the 805’s so when the bib is down you have two front pockets. I think it turned out great.

                          thanks @Giles I suppose the tailor should get a little credit for actually doing the work  🙂

                            @deanclean really love the practicality of that mod! Couldn’t even tell anything was done in the front  😎

                              I realized the stitches on my 822 were coming out. So I used my awl and some kevlar to repair them while preserving the original stitch as much as possible.

                              Final product

                                I got a new mod and I covered the pleather with a piece of XHS. Pictured left is my old old with the indigo duck. it faded to black from being so dirty. It's now my work mod and the new one will be my not at work mod.

                                    I've got an old Aegis legend as my backup @Filthy. I also have some 21oz offcuts, so quite tempted to give it a go. Did you just hot glue it?

                                      Just the screws from the mod. No glue or anything.

                                          I got some vintage 1930s metal buttons and replaced the buttons on what is now my favorite hot weather shirt. I also used vintage Talon mercerized cotton thread from the 50s. It was made in Meadville, Pennsylvania. It very closely matches the thread on the inside of the shirt.
